Cannabis gives you the munchies, right? Not this rare cannabinoid. In fact, THCV — sometimes dubbed a “diet cannabinoid” — is quite the opposite. 
THCV is an appetite suppressant so powerful it’s been nicknamed “diet weed” or “skinny weed.” Early studies suggest it might even help treat obesity and diabetes, along with many other medical conditions such as seizures and schizophrenia.
It doesn’t leave you chilled and sluggish like a normal stone, either. THCV is an energizing stimulant, earning it descriptions such as “the sports car of cannabinoids,” “the athlete’s cannabinoid,” and even “Weederall.” 
<h2>What is THCV?</h2>
[caption id="attachment_9859" align="alignright" width="556"]<img class=" wp-image-9859" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/shutterstock_1923970331-300x169.jpg" alt="THCv, molecular structure" width="556" height="313" /> Is THCv a stimulant? At some doses it could be.[/caption]
THCV is a type of cannabinoid found in the cannabis plant. Its full name is tetrahydrocannabivarin — quite a mouthful! Scientists first isolated and identified it in 1970, and its medical potential is currently being explored. 
THCV is only found in trace amounts in most cannabis. If you’re looking for the motherlode, sativas of African landrace lineage such as<a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=durban%20poison#PRODUCT/1242448"> Durban Poison</a> usually have the highest concentration of THCV, reaching a whopping 16 percent of dry plant weight according to<a href="https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/neuroscience/tetrahydrocannabivarin"> one study</a>.
THCV has a chemical structure that is very similar to THC, and it can also bind with our body’s cannabis receptors. However, it has significantly different effects.
THC is known to be an appetite stimulant, resulting in the classic stoner experience of getting the munchies. THCV on the other hand has the complete opposite effect, suppressing appetite. While most THC-rich cannabis leaves you feeling relaxed, THCV can act as a stimulant.
<h2>Does THCV Get You High? </h2>
The jury is still out on this one. Some studies say it is completely non-psychoactive. Others suggest that it can get you high, but the effect depends on how much you take.
To explain this, we need to dip into a little pharmacology. The human body’s endocannabinoid system has two main cannabinoid receptors, named CB1 and CB2. THC is a CB1 agonist, which means it triggers the CB1 receptors in your brain, resulting in the sensation of being stoned.
THCV also acts on both CB receptors, but it can behave as an agonist or an antagonist at different doses. In small doses, it blocks the receptor, dulling some of the effects of THC and reducing the high. In larger doses, it can trigger the receptor, producing a buzz and stimulant effects, which could act together with THC to intensify the high and change its character.
<h2>What Does the THCV + THC High Feel Like?</h2>
The high associated with THCV is very clear-headed and stimulating. Some tokers say THCV intensifies the euphoric feelings of THC. The high is said to come on faster than pure THC but is also shorter, with about half the duration.
One Redditor said it felt almost like an amphetamine: “As a high, it was pretty fun, but in no way was it chill or relaxing. It's better for talking your friend's head off or dancing rather than kicking back with a movie.”
<h2>What Do Studies Report About THCV?</h2>
Researchers have also dived into the question of "What is THCv" still in the early stages of exploring all the effects and uses of THCV, but the results of small animal studies have been very promising for a number of different conditions. Here’s a summary of some findings so far:
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">THCV was shown to produce weight loss and reduce body fat in<a href="https://bpspubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1476-5381.2008.00107.x"> obese mice</a></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">THCV was also shown to have<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1528-1167.2010.02523.x"> anticonvulsant properties</a> in rats</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">It has anti-inflammatory properties, shown to<a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20590571/"> reduce inflammation</a> and pain in rats</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">It is considered to have great potential in the management of metabolic syndromes and<a href="https://jcannabisresearch.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s42238-020-0016-7"> type 2 diabetes</a></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">THCV may blunt some unpleasant side effects of THC, including psychotic and paranoid effects according to<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/0269881115615104"> this study</a></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">It may also reduce some negative psychological effects of<a href="https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/Tetrahydrocannabivarin"> schizophrenia</a></li>
</ul>
<h2>Could THCV Help With Weight Loss?</h2>
 There is huge potential for THCV to be used in managing obesity and diabetes in the future, but for now, there is not enough research available to properly guide the usage of THCV as a medical treatment. 
It’s perfectly legal to buy and try at home here in San Francisco, though. Simply order online and <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/why-we-love-delivery/">get it delivered</a> along with your recreational cannabis products. Other tokers who tried THCV found it suppressed their appetites significantly for an hour or two, and this may help control food intake if you’re trying to lose weight or beat the THC munchies.

<h2>Where Can I Try THCV? </h2>
There are a few strains that have been bred to contain much higher than natural levels of THCV. Doug’s Varin is one of these gems. If you’re ready for the full on THCV experience, try the<a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=stimulate#PRODUCT/1237834"> Stimulate THCv sublingual tabs</a> from LEVEL, which is powered by THCV from Doug’s Varin.

What is THCV? Is it Really a Diet Cannabinoid?

We fineNow that you can get cannabis delivered to your door at the click of a button, a world of opportunity awaits for cannabis-lovers who are keen to explore. Learning to hack cannabinoid ratios could be the key to your most mind-blowing experience yet.
Technology has given us the power to isolate THC and CBD, but their effects may be much more potent when they work together as nature intended. And, while these two have always stolen the spotlight, science is now revealing the value of some lesser-known cannabis compounds.
Learn to shop by cannabinoid ratio for ultimate effect and to take advantage of the rarer cannabinoids if you know which strains to look for.
<h2>Get to Know the Cannabinoids Before You Get Cannabis Delivered</h2>
Cannabinoids are a group of closely related chemical compounds researchers have found in the cannabis plant, as well as natural versions within the human body. They are known as phytocannabinoids in plants and endocannabinoids when produced within the body. Both can interact with our body’s endocannabinoid system.
Focusing on plant cannabinoids, THC and CBD are the most well-known and researched, but more than 100 different types have been identified in cannabis so far.
We know THC is the most abundant cannabinoid and is responsible for the main psychoactive effect of cannabis. It’s the one that gets you high. But, it can have many other effects too; for example, there is evidence that <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/blog/how-to-microdose-thc">microdosing THC leads to stress relief</a>.
CBD is the second most prevalent and may also have effects like calming, but it does not make you feel stoned. Evidence has linked it to many medicinal effects including combatting seizures, anxiety, insomnia, and chronic pain. Here are some suggestions for <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/incorporate-cbd-lifestyle/">how to incorporate CBD into your lifestyle</a>.
<h2>The Entourage Effect and How it Affects Your High</h2>
[caption id="attachment_9849" align="alignright" width="680"]<img class=" wp-image-9849" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/shutterstock_1471605059-300x188.jpg" alt="cannabinoid guide, infographic with information on each cannabinoid" width="680" height="426" /> You can create a personalized experience, by understanding each cannabinoids[/caption]
The entourage effect is the theory that different compounds in cannabis work together to enhance the overall effect. Taking these compounds together produces a better result than taking any of them alone.
This would mean that taking pure THC or CBD (such as in a distillate or isolate) is not always as potent as if you take a full-spectrum product (such as Care By Design’s <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=8&amp;strain_type_id%5B%5D=4#PRODUCT/1234552">40:1 CBD sublingual drops</a>). 
For now, the entourage effect is a theory that is supported by <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7324885/">many studies</a>, but not all. More research is needed to know for sure how it works. With a bit more exploration, we'll know to what extent it impacts the experience and benefits.
<h2>How Do THC and CBD Work Together?</h2>
Modern technology has allowed us to isolate CBD and THC from cannabis plants and create pure forms. However, these two cannabinoids actually work together. When we use them in a combined way, they can be more effective.
One example of this match made in heaven is how CBD can combat the unwanted effects of THC. Some people experience anxiety, excessive hunger, or sluggishness and sedation after taking THC. Studies suggest that CBD may reduce these side effects, making the high more enjoyable.
<h2>What About Other Cannabinoids?</h2>
As research advances, we are learning more about the properties of cannabinoids that are naturally present in much smaller quantities than THC and CBD.
A few that may prove to be significant include: 

<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cannabigerol (CBG), which studies have linked to many possible medicinal benefits such as treating glaucoma, fighting cancer, killing resistant bacteria and protecting neurons from degeneration</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cannabinol (CBN), which is produced naturally as THC breaks down over time; it may offer sedative effects good for combating insomnia</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Cannabichromene (CBC), which was shown by one study to block pain receptors in a similar way to opioids but without the danger of addiction; it is also showing promise as a potential future treatment for depression</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Tetrahydrocannabivarin (THCV), which early research indicates could be an appetite suppressant and may also help manage diabetes, panic attacks, and Alzheimer’s disease </li>
</ul>
<h2>Get Cannabis Delivered with the Right Ratios</h2>
Usually, we find minor cannabinoids in minuscule amounts in most cannabis plants. That means in any given flower you choose, you’ll get THC and CBD, and trace amounts of the others. Still, these minor cannabinoids make the experience an interesting one, and are still worth looking out for.
But, if you really want to dive into the minor cannabinoids try edibles and extracts. You can take advantage of the restorative effects of CBG combined in a balanced ratio with THC in these <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=cbg#PRODUCT/1291240">WYLD Pear Gummies</a>, which are designed to get the best out of both cannabinoids.
Some cannabinoid ratios allow you to skip the high in favor of the recovery-boosting effects, such as in the <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=cbg#PRODUCT/1253795">Level Hangover Tablets</a>. They take advantage of the headache- and nausea-fighting effects of THCA, CBD, and CBG. Try to keep THC at a minimum for hangover recovery.
Now that you know about the wonderful world of phytocannabinoids, don’t forget to check out the cannabinoid ratio. The next time you get cannabis delivered, it might just be your most potent high yet.

Before You Get Cannabis Delivered, Understand the Cannabinoid Profile

Vaping is now one of the most popular ways to consume cannabis. All you need is your trusty vape pen and your favorite <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=12">vape cartridge.</a> So we looked at what our customers buy online —from Absolute Xtracts strain-specific cells to hard-hitting high THC powerhouses — to find the best cartridges of 2021.
There are countless manufacturers selling vape cartridges online today. But it can be hard to find the premium products among all the noise. Luckily, our community of cannabis connoisseurs gives us constant feedback on which products they love. So here, we present to you our findings.
<blockquote>
<h3>What is a Vape Cartridge?</h3>
A vape cartridge is a small glass cartridge filled with cannabis oil. The cartridge (or cart) connects to a battery on your vape pen. When turned on, the battery heats and evaporates the oil. You inhale the vapor, sit back, and relax. No fuss, no mess.
Cartridges come in .5 gram or 1 gram sizes. There are a few different types, but most are 510 cartridges. This simply means they’re compatible with a 510 thread, the way most vape pen batteries connect to a cartridge. </blockquote>
<h2>How to Choose a Great Vape Cartridge</h2>
Like we said, there are a lot of vape carts on the market. Honestly, some are far better than others. As a rule of thumb, you want to look for vape carts that use clean ingredients and contain no unnecessary additives. Like anything you put into your body, you want the good stuff.
Beyond that, choose a cartridge that will give your desired experience. Like any cannabis product, vape carts vary in their THC, CBD, and terpene content as well as their potency. Here are a few things to look out for.
<h3>Distillate vs. Live Resin Carts</h3>
Most vape cartridges will use a <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/cannabis-dabbing/">distillate</a>, an oil distilled from dried flower. This can create highly potent oils, with upwards of 80–90 percent THC. These cartridges are likely to deliver a serious high.
But one downside is that the oils lose a lot of flavor and character when they’re distilled. Unlike bud, vape carts tend to deliver lots of THC and not much else. This often means a less complex high.
Which is why live resin cartridges are growing in popularity. <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/cannabis-oils-710/">Live resin</a> carts use oil extracted from fresh flower instead of dried bud. This means the resin retains terpenes and other cannabinoids. And for you, that means a subtler, more complex high, similar to smoking a joint.
<h3>Terpenes in Vape Cartridges</h3>
Terpenes play an important role in the effects of cannabis. They interact with cannabinoids and give each strain its unique high. Live resin carts already contain terpenes. But some manufacturers are also adding terpenes back into distillates to create more interesting experiences. 
Some use cannabis terpenes, while others use botanical terpenes from other plants. Typically cannabis terpenes will create a more authentic experience and taste.  Botanical terpenes, meanwhile, can taste sweeter and are not as complex.

The Best Vape Cartridges 2021

In this day and age, it is still common for employers to require new hires to pass a drug test; or even subject standing employees to regular drug testing. This can cause so much stress for many people, but if you’re in that situation, we’re here to help. This guide will break down different types of drug tests and timelines and show you the trusted ways to pass your drug test while dismissing the common myths around the subject.
<h2>What type of drug test are you taking?</h2>
Different types of drug tests are conducted in different ways, so you’ll want to know what to expect. Here are the most frequently used drug tests:
<h3>Urine Test</h3>
Urine testing is the most common type of drug test. It is also the most tempting to fake, but please don’t. We’ll get into why that’s a bad idea later. When taking this test, you’ll be given a cup that you’ll need to urinate in and return to the test administrator. From there, either an immunoassay test or a GC/MS test will be performed to detect the presence of several different drugs, including marijuana. 
Immunoassay tests show antibodies that your immune system produces as a reaction to certain drugs. These are the most common because they yield quick results and aren’t expensive, but they can also yield false positives. If your urine test shows a false positive, you should request a GC/MS test. These are more accurate as they show, in detail, the exact chemical breakdown of your urine. This test will show the presence of the drug itself rather than your body’s reaction to it. 
<h3>Hair Test</h3>
Hair tests require several strands to be removed, typically from the root. Your hair follicle will then be analyzed to show drug use over the last ninety days. Drug use shows up on hair follicles because the drugs get absorbed into your bloodstream, and hair follicles grow from blood vessels. This means drugs get fed from your bloodstream into your hair, and it won’t go away. 
No matter what you do to your hair, the substances you consume will continue to show in the follicle until the part of the strand which was at the root when you took the drug is cut off. However, don’t take this as an instruction to shave your head; body hair can be tested too.
<h3>Saliva Test</h3>
For a saliva test, the administrator will swab the inside of your mouth to collect saliva. The sample will be analyzed to determine drug consumption. Like urine tests, saliva is typically tested using an immunoassay method, but more in-depth tests are available to confirm positive results. 
These tests are most commonly used to detect very recent drug use. There ability to detect recent use makes saliva tests ideal for police officers to determine if someone may still be under the influence. However, this type of testing has become more popular with employers and others as it is less invasive.
<h3>Blood Test</h3>
Drugs can be detected in your blood as soon as they are absorbed into your bloodstream. Like urine and saliva, blood is usually tested to detect drug use with an immunoassay method with the potential for a higher quality of testing to confirm positive results. 
However, drugs work their way through your bloodstream rather quickly, meaning the detection time is shorter. Your average employer is not likely to use this method for the shorter detection time and because drawing blood must be done by a medical professional. 
<h2>When is your drug test deadline?</h2>
The amount of time you have until your drug test is important to determine what process you’ll take in order to pass it. Several different things come into the equation when determining <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/blog/how-long-does-weed-stay-in-your-system">how long weed will stay in your system</a>. Depending on how frequently you use marijuana, the concentration of THC in the products you use, and your general health coupled with your BMI, you may not have time for a simple detox or a natural cleanse.
<h2>How to pass a drug test in a month</h2>
If you have a month before your drug test, you’ll be able to detox using natural methods like staying hydrated, sweating a lot, eating lean, and getting enough rest. Some other common things people do for the natural detox process include drinking cranberry juice, lemon water, tea, going to the sauna, and anything else that puts lots of fluid in your body and allows lots of fluid to come out. It is important to note that each person will detox at a different rate - a month-long natural detox is the average amount of time it takes the average person to test clean of THC. There are some myths that these things will get you detoxed in a few days, but unfortunately, that isn’t accurate. 
<h3>Recommended detox solution: 10-day cleanse</h3>
<img class="size-medium wp-image-9842" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/gr-article-image-1-permanent-cleanse-10-day-ultra-detoxification-program-300x171.jpg" alt="10 Day Detox Solution" width="300" height="171" />

This is their most thorough cleansing program designed for people that have had a DAILY exposure to toxins. All toxins are removed permanently with this 10-day detox program.
<h2>How to pass a drug test in a week</h2>
As we just clarified, natural detox methods aren’t likely to work in a week’s time. If a week is all you have, you should consider using trusted detox programs to help accelerate your cleansing process. It is advised to incorporate natural detox practices while using the cleansing kit.
<h3>Recommended detox solution: 5-day cleanse</h3>
<img class="size-medium wp-image-9843" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/gr-article-image-2-permanent-cleanse-5-day-extreme-detoxification-program-300x171.jpg" alt="5 Day Detox Cleanse" width="300" height="171" />

This is their most renowned cleansing program designed for people that have had frequent exposure to toxins. All toxins are removed permanently with this 5-day detox program.
<h2>How to pass a drug test in a day</h2>
If you only have a day to pass your drug test, you’re going to need a same-day cleanser that can be delivered to you overnight for dire situations.
<h3>Recommended detox solution: fail safe kit</h3>
<img class="size-medium wp-image-9844" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/gr-article-image-3-same-day-cleanse-fail-safe-1-300x171.jpg" alt="Fail Safe Detox Kit" width="300" height="171" />
Our recommended detox solution for a super tight timeline is the <a href="https://passyourtest.com/product/fail-safe-kit/">Fail Safe Kit</a> from PassYourTest.com. Daily users that want to take absolutely no chance whatsoever and know their toxin levels are high always choose the Fail Safe Kit. Products take effect in 60 minutes and lasts for 6 hours.
<h2>Methods that won’t pass a drug test</h2>
We understand how tempting it can be to try every possible trick when you’re freaking out about a drug test, but it’s important to know which methods won’t work and could do more harm than good. Some people try diluting their pee, which is simply a waste of energy, or some people try drinking bleach to get rid of anything else in their system, but that is incredibly dangerous to your health and could be fatal. The most common trick people use is fake pee or otherwise faking their drug test. This is dangerous as well because you could face serious legal ramifications if you’re caught. With all of these odd tricks, you are much better off detoxing naturally and using products like those from passyourtest.com to accelerate the cleansing process.

Your Guide on How to Pass a Drug Test

Spooky season is here at last! For cannabis lovers in San Jose and the Bay Area in general, it’s the perfect opportunity to make Halloween more high and haunted than ever. For those looking for cannabis delivery near me, indulge in the spirit of magic and mystery with a delivery from greenrush.
Cannabis is a fun way to enhance the experience and high-ten your senses on the spookiest night of the year. If you’re a cannabis lover wanting to go green this Halloween, here is our guide to a mystical night out in the Bay Area.
<h2>Start with Cannabis Delivery Near Me to Get Your Treats Before Tricks</h2>
Before you head out on your paranormal adventure, treat yourself to an edible to enchant your mind and bewitch your senses.
If you’re going out partying or exploring a haunted house, chances are you’re looking for a more energetic head-high rather than a couch-lock body stone. Opt for a sativa strain that will put you in a social, uplifting mood with strong cerebral effects to get you in the mood for a spine-chilling night. 
Edibles are perfect for the occasion because you can take a nibble in public where smoking cannabis isn’t allowed. Plus the high will last longer and be more intense than smoking. And who can resist a sweet treat on Halloween?
We’d suggest Kiva’s <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/kiva/products#PRODUCT/1237826">Blood Orange Chills &amp; Thrills</a> gummies to awaken your inner thrill-seeker and leave you wanting to howl at the moon. Get in touch with your WYLD side with these sativa <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/wyld/products#PRODUCT/1230939">Raspberry Gummies</a> designed to optimize creative energy and get you in the mood for an expedition.
Sneak some chocolatey indulgence with Kiva’s <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/kiva/products#PRODUCT/1230640">Espresso Dark Chocolate Terra Bites</a>. These espresso beans smothered in chocolate deliver a caffeine kick as well as a THC lift.
<blockquote>A word of warning: We know they’re delicious, but don’t eat all your edibles at once. Paranoia can be a side effect of taking too much cannabis, and that’s not ideal on the spookiest night of the year when your haunted house or horror experience could quickly become overwhelming. Remember to play within your limits when dosing up for your Hallo-weed adventure!</blockquote>
Once your spirits are raised and your senses heightened, the next step is to head out on an occult adventure.
<h2>Head to San Jose’s Spookiest Spot</h2>
<img class="wp-image-9834 aligncenter" src="http://blog.greenrush.com/wp-content/uploads/shutterstock_338653307-300x202.jpg" alt="Winchester Mystery House" width="484" height="326" />
One of the best places to indulge in some ghostly goodness is the <a href="https://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/#">Winchester Mystery House</a> in San Jose. 
This sprawling mansion will transport you back to the 1900s. Expect a few goosebumps as you learn the truly chilling backstory of Sarah. She was a mysterious woman who built the massive maze-like home after tragedy struck her family.
Book your spot on their <a href="https://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com/all-hallows-eve/">All Hallow’s Eve experience</a> and you’ll be guided on a paranormal investigation through the house. The Winchester House has been the site of unexplained phenomena that even master magicians and mediums can’t demystify.
If you still have your wits about you, follow in the footsteps of famous illusionist and escape artist, Houdini. He visited Winchester House in 1924 but left with more questions than answers. You will be locked in a room for 30 minutes to solve puzzles and search for clues in time to escape.
Take the fear factor down a notch on a stroll through the Victorian gardens. The area is lit up with hundreds of glowing jack o’ lanterns. 
Wandering the gardens is a great opportunity to dig into your edible stash if you feel your high ebbing. Alternatively, take a rip from a vape loaded with something potent and relaxing. A good option is the <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?q=sublime#PRODUCT/1230924">Tokyo Green Goddess</a> from Sublime, which will calm anxiety and induce a euphoric high.

Halloween Fun With Cannabis in San Jose

San Francisco cannabis delivery flourished during COVID-19. And, like other forms of now-popular e-commerce, it will continue to thrive due to the benefits it offers consumers. Getting weed delivered has become a habit for many.
In this post, we will explore how buying weed has changed since COVID-19 lockdowns. We were curious about what was drawing consumers to online dispensaries so we looked at: 
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Benefits of online delivery</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Statistics on the online shopping explosion</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">How to order cannabis online for delivery</li>
</ul>
<h2>The Countless Benefits of Online Delivery </h2>
During COVID-19, <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1253156">cannabis</a> sales grew exponentially in the US. A huge part of this growth has resulted from e-commerce sales. 
Like other retailers, cannabis dispensaries leveraged technology and the need for internet shopping during the pandemic. The trend toward online ordering and delivery has helped create shopping opportunities that feel safe for consumers. 
Many benefits accompany online delivery. Beyond the convenience of ordering from the comfort of your own home, ordering cannabis online can lower stress and offer greater selection and time to explore and learn. 
What would you choose to do if you could skip traffic and parking and get cannabis delivered right to your door? Many are opting to shop online, simply to avoid the headache of city driving, which further helps those who consume <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1253379">cannabis to relax. </a>
San Francisco cannabis delivery allows consumers to take their time learning about different strains, which in turn supports learning about cannabis and making informed, supportive selections. 
<h2>Statistics and News on Cannabis Consumption During COVID-19</h2>
Because of COVID-19 lockdowns, online dispensaries saw massive upward growth. A Flowhub <a href="https://flowhub.com/cannabis-industry-statistics">article</a> states that “in the 30 days following the March 13 declaration of a national emergency, new delivery customer sign-ups jumped by nearly 60%.” Sales increases followed. 
Many online dispensaries saw massive growth in their sales and customer bases. 
A TechCrunch article from December 2020 claimed, “Experts estimate that the pandemic accelerated the shift to e-commerce by five years.” In other words, COVID-19 caused online shopping for <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1280335">cannabis</a> to grow five times the expected rate in a single year. 
<h2>How We Deliver Cannabis </h2>
At Green Rush, there are two options for cannabis delivery. If you have time to plan ahead, you can set up a scheduled delivery. This gives you access to a greater variety of <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop#PRODUCT/1253117">products</a>. Take your time reading about each product and choose what will best suit your needs. 
If you prefer to order in real time, you can use the express option. While this offers a smaller menu you will have your product delivered directly to you within 90 minutes. 
A few months ago, we put together a <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/how-to-order-weed-online/">step-by-step guide</a> on how to order from our website. 
If you’ve never ordered cannabis online, make sure to check it out. It will help you understand how to navigate the website. 
<h2>San Francisco Cannabis Delivery During Covid-19 Lockdowns </h2>
Similar to purchasing groceries and other items online, buying cannabis for home delivery makes life simpler. During this busy time, people are seeking ways to create more ease in their lives, and online ordering supports this. 
COVID-19 caused cannabis consumers to change their habits and move to online shopping during lockdowns. With the benefits of convenience, stress reduction, and variety, it seems that online cannabis shopping is here to stay.

No Traffic, No parking: Why We Love Weed Delivery

California has always been forward-thinking when it comes to cannabis legislation. It was the first state to legalize medical marijuana, way back in 1996. And since 2018, it’s been legal to buy and use recreational cannabis in California for all adults aged over 21. With your San Francisco cannabis delivery on route - you need to know the rules.
These days, cannabis in San Francisco is more accessible than ever. But there are still laws and restrictions that govern cannabis use. If you’re planning to smoke, vape, or consume weed in SF, you’re probably got some questions.
We’ve pulled together the answers to some of the most common questions cannabis consumers in San Francisco ask us. Bear in mind that laws and regulations are constantly changing, and vary in different cities, counties, and states.
<h2>Is it Legal to Buy Cannabis in San Francisco?</h2>
Yes - since 2018, it’s been legal to sell, buy, and use cannabis for recreational and medical reasons throughout California. But there are restrictions on who can buy it and how much you can buy.
To start with, you must be at least 21 to buy recreational weed. If you have a medical marijuana license, then the age limit drops to 18. And you must buy from a licensed dispensary, not from your mates.
There are also limits on how much cannabis you can buy. You can buy up to 1 ounce (28.5 grams) per day in California, or 8 grams of concentrates. <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?product_collection_id%5B%5D=343">If edibles are your thing,</a> you’re allowed to buy up to 2800 mg of THC at once. If you’re caught with more, you could risk a fine of $100.
Those limits also apply to how much you can carry at one time. So if you’re heading out, only take what you need, not your whole stash. Medical users are allowed to buy more cannabis - up to 8 ounces at a time.
<h2>Where Can I Smoke Weed in San Francisco?</h2>
San Francisco has quite strict laws surrounding cannabis use in public. Essentially, anywhere that smoking tobacco is banned, using cannabis is also illegal. That means in public spaces, on sidewalks, and in bars and restaurants. There are fines of up to $250 if you get caught using in public.
However, event organizers are allowed to apply for temporary permits for cannabis consumption at their events, as long as the weed isn’t visible to any other public spaces. So cannabis events are perfectly legal, as long as the correct permits are in place.
If you want to play it safe, stick to using in private places like homes. These days, you don’t even need to leave the house to get cannabis delivered to your door. But be aware that landlords do have the right to ban use on their property, even though it’s legal. Check with your landlord if you have any questions!
Also, although recreational cannabis is legal in California, it’s still illegal federally. And some places in California are federal land - like airports and national parks. That means in those spaces, cannabis is still illegal.
<h2>Can You Vape in SF?</h2>
The rules around vaping can be a bit confusing. San Francisco voted to ban the sale of e-cigarettes in July 2019, a law that came into effect in 2020. That means e-cigarettes can’t be sold online or in-store, anywhere in San Francisco.
But the definition of an e-cigarette only applies to devices that contain tobacco or nicotine. So <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=12">cannabis vapes</a> are still legal and available to purchase in dispensaries throughout San Francisco. Still, the rules around cannabis use apply to vaping too. So refer to smoking laws in SF before vaping.
<h2>What About Growing My Own Weed?</h2>
California’s cannabis laws allow San Francisco residents to grow up to six plants for personal use on their property. They must be kept in your private residence and out of sight of public spaces.
<h2>Does San Francisco Have Cannabis Delivery?</h2>
We sure do. Cannabis delivery is legal in California, and although different areas have different rules, it’s also legal in San Francisco. What’s not legal is shipping cannabis by post.
Here at Green Rush, you can order up to 1 ounce per day for same-day delivery. We typically deliver within 90 minutes and delivery is free. You’ll need to provide a copy of your photo ID to prove you’re over 21. And you’ll have to receive the weed yourself, as we can’t deliver to another person on your behalf.
Right now, we deliver to a range of postcodes in San Francisco, Peninsula, San Jose, East Bay and Sacramento. Our list of postcodes is always expanding, so check back if you don’t see your address yet. If it’s your first time ordering, we’ve got a full guide to how to <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/blog/how-to-order-weed-online">order weed online</a>.

Can You Vape in SF? And Other Questions for Cannabis Lovers

San Francisco is a hub of activity at the end of summer. There is so much to do on a long weekend. And, of course, it’s always going to be more enjoyable with a puff or two. So why not send summer 2021 off with a blaze? Better yet, get your bud and cannabis edibles delivered in advance.
We’ve put together some suggested playlists to help you maximize your enjoyment.
<h2>Plan Ahead. Get Your Bud, Infused Drinks &amp; Cannabis Edibles Delivered</h2>
Don’t waste a single moment of your long weekend adventures gathering supplies. Do this in advance. As summer comes to an end, give yourself the gift of enjoying every single moment.
We’ve put together suggestions for you to make it easy to decide what to order, and we’ve paired those cannabis products with some fun ways to spend your weekend.
<h2>Friday I’m in Love ... with Cycling</h2>
With the steep inclines of the San Francisco hills, it can be challenging to get around on a bicycle. However, we have a solution for that. Renting e-bikes in San Francisco is a fantastic way to get around the city and to climb some of its steepest hills with ease. You can do this inexpensively through the <a href="https://www.lyft.com/bikes/bay-wheels">bike-share</a> program.
With longer summer days getting shorter, we recommend soaking in the evening breezes with some classic tunes. We suggest a blend of Sublime, Jimi Hendrix, Pearl Jam, the Eagles, Soundgarden, the Doors, the Cure, and Led Zeppelin.
Bring along a Bluetooth speaker and find a park to enjoy a nice toke of some <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=1&amp;strain_type_id%5B%5D=2">sativa flower</a> when you are ready for a break.
<h2>Saturday Night: Learn to Socialize Again</h2>
As we further integrate back into social settings, practice your social skills with a little backyard shindig. If you don’t have a backyard, talk to a friend who does and help them to host. Then, make it easy on yourself by hosting a potluck.
We suggest gathering in the late afternoon for some socializing. As people arrive, delight them with some appetizers and include some edibles. Our edible recommendation is <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=3#PRODUCT/1253698">KIVA Blackberry Dark Chocolate.</a> The bar has 20 squares, making it perfect for sharing.
After savoring a couple of squares, crank up the tunes. We recommend some specific songs for this relaxed dinner party: Walking on Sunshine, Groovin,’ Midnight Rider, Staying Alive, California Soul, and Sweet Caroline.
Once the edibles have kicked in, fire up the barbecue and take a break from dancing with a big meal.
Then, when dinner and digestion are complete, kick off your shoes and dance barefoot in the grass while grooving to Neil Diamond, Sharon Jones, and more. Then, add in some other crowd favorites and bust out your best moves under the stars.
<h2>Easy Like Sunday Morning at the Beach</h2>
Plan for a full day at the beach by packing blankets, towels, an umbrella, a picnic, and of course, some cannabis. For this part of your long weekend, bring some Absolute Extracts <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=3#PRODUCT/1253137">Hi-fi Hops </a>cannabis beverages. Hi-fi Hops is a sparkling drink that contains five milligrams each of THC and CBD.
Cold beverages and beaches pair well with acoustic groups like The Head and the Heart, the Bahamas, and Jack Johnson.
There are many beaches to choose from in the Bay Area, and our top picks are the beaches with cliffs. We especially love the ruggedness of Ocean Beach, and there are plenty of other beaches that are great for swimming, too.
Pick a beach where you’ll be happy to hang out for the entire day, and be sure to check for closures before you head out.
<h2>Strolling Into Monday</h2>
For the final day of your long weekend, take a stroll in the city. If you are walking solo, pop in some headphones to listen to a blend of old-school funk. We recommend a mix of Stevie Wonder, Bill Withers, Earth, Wind, and Fire, and Aretha Franklin.
Blend these dynamite tunes with a little <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=12#PRODUCT/1254327">Sublime Gold Rio</a> for vaping, and let the rhythms move you.
Begin your walk at Yerba Buena Gardens, and if you feel like it, grab a coffee from one of the nearby cafes. Next, make your way toward the Embarcadero. Finally, consider taking a ferry ride under the Golden Gate Bridge, just for the sake of feeling that wind in your hair.
If you are still feeling energized after your Embarcadero adventure, head over to Golden Gate Park to watch the sunset over the ocean.
<h2>Cannabis, Edibles Delivered: Long Weekends Are Better with Weed</h2>
Having a playlist ready to go for your long weekend adventures is one way to ensure you will enjoy yourself. Music does so much to set the mood and tone of an experience. Layer in some cannabis and you’re bound to have a great time! If you've planned ahead to get your cannabis edibles delivered, you are already winning.
From rock to party anthems, acoustic, and funk, we’ve got you covered for blazing with great music this long weekend.

Send Summer off With a Blaze! A Long Weekend Weed Playlist

You could say that the cannabis marketplace is getting a bit crowded. Between the edibles, concentrates, and vape pens, is there room for anything else? But, one of the hot items we are more than willing to make room for these days is weed beverages.
Light, bubbly, and always buzz-worthy, weed drinks are taking California by storm. They offer a non-inhalable way to appreciate the powers of this plant. So, as we head into <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/labor-day-cannabis-products-2018/">summer</a>, we are going all-in on weed-infused drinks. 
<h2>What's the Big Deal with Weed-Infused Drinks?</h2>
Cannabis companies have been trying to perfect the THC-infused drink for a decade or more. It may be simple enough to make your own weed-infused tea, but bottling that into an appealing consumer product is remarkably difficult.
Cannabinoids like THC and CBD are hydrophobic. This means they don't mix well with water, instead preferring fats and oils. As soon as you mix cannabinoids with a water-based beverage, you tend to get a discolored, separated mixture. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with this combo, it's visually not very appealing.
But recently, food developers have cracked the code. Suddenly, with innovations like nanoemulsion, it's possible to mix up cannabinoids with water (and flavors, of course) so that it's both shelf-stable and emulsified.
Nanoemulsion, one of the methods behind the most popular weed drinks, transforms cannabinoid molecules into super small particles. These are small enough to be measured in nanometers. Often this is done by hammering the cannabinoid extractions with ultrasonic waves.
This technology has helped transform the cannabis market and led to some delicious cannabis-infused drinks. Last year alone, Americans slurped back weed drinks to the tune of $95 million.
<h2>What Can You Expect When Drinking Weed?</h2>
As with any new cannabis product, it's a good idea to know what you are getting into when you first try it out. How much THC does the drink contain, and what are you comfortable with?
The good news with weed beverages, like CANN Cannabis-Infused Social Tonics (one of our all-time favorites), is that you can expect a mellow and predictable high. What's more, the effects come on much faster than the hour or so an <a href="http://blog.greenrush.com/how-to-make-weed-edibles-how-edibles-work/">edible</a> can take. Expect to feel loose within 10 minutes.
The latest weed drinks are designed to be sessionable, which means you can have more than one and not feel overwhelmed. Toss a few THC drinks in a backpack for a day at the beach, or bring a six-pack over to a friend's for an evening of chilling. These are summer-ready.
Weed-infused drinks are relaxing and sociable and deliver an experience much like you'd expect from a few drinks of alcohol — but without the hangover!
Another benefit to drinking infused beverages? Because they don't contain alcohol, they are better for your waistline. Many brands report 50 percent fewer calories per serving than your favorite beer or cocktail.
<h2>The Future of Weed Beverages at Green Rush</h2>
This summer, we are getting serious about our lineup of the delicious and sociable weed beverages menu. We've got all your favorites in order, plus a few new exciting options for your next social event.
<ul>
<li><a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/cann-1">CANN Cannabis-Infused Social Tonics</a> have always been our go-to. We tend to have a six-pack in the fridge at all times. These have blown up on social media, with everyone enjoying the 30-calorie microdoses of fun each can contains. A dose of 2 mg of THC, plus 4 mg of CBD, makes for a perfect uplifting evening.</li>
<li>We are also launching with <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/wunder">WUNDER</a>, a cannabis-infused sparkling beverage. Every can of WUNDER contains a unique blend of cannabinoids, including 2 mg of Delta-9 THC for the mind, 2 mg of Delta-8 for the body, plus 4 mg of CBD for the soul.</li>
<li>For anyone who prefers a product more akin to a nice cold beer, Absolute Xtracts is the answer. Their line of <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/shop?category_id%5B%5D=3#PRODUCT/1253137">Hi-Fi Hop</a>s is hoppy, bubbly, and most importantly, diet-friendly. No carbs, no calories, but all the fun you can expect from a bottle of hopped-up beverage. With a range of options from THC to THC:CBD and different THC levels, these wobbly pops are one of our favorite summer options.</li>
<li>A final treat for our weed drink menu this summer is <a href="https://www.greenrush.com/brand/keef-brands">Keef Cola</a>. Quench your thirst for a bubbly cola, root beer, and other sweet carbonated drinks but with a dash of THC. Every can of soda contains a delightful 10 mg of THC, a perfect dose for socializing.</li>
</ul>
With delicious options like strawberry lemonade or lemon-lime, you can make just about any weed-infused drink. A single drop (the equivalent of 5 mg of THC) lets you control the dose.
<h2>Cannabis Beverages: Social and Sessionable for Summer</h2>
The future of weed beverages is here. Like CANN and WUNDER, they are microdosed buzz that is mellow and super sessionable. Unlike an edible powered with 100 mg of THC, these drinks make your next social adventure fun and carefree. We love weed-infused drinks, which is why we are stocking up this summer.
