Question 1

What is cannabis flower?

Accepted Answer

Cannabis flower — also called bud or weed — is the dried, cured bloom of the female cannabis plant. It's the most traditional form of cannabis and contains the highest concentration of cannabinoids and terpenes. Flower is typically smoked in a pipe, bong, or rolled joint, or vaporized in a dry-herb vaporizer.

Question 2

What's the difference between indica, sativa, and hybrid?

Accepted Answer

Indica strains are traditionally associated with relaxing, sedating effects. Sativa strains are linked to energetic, uplifting effects. Hybrids are crosses that combine traits from both. Modern cannabis science emphasizes that terpene profile and cannabinoid content have more influence on the experience than the indica/sativa label alone.

Question 3

How do I know if a flower strain is high quality?

Accepted Answer

Look for dense trichome coverage (frosty appearance), vibrant color, and a strong, complex aroma. Properly cured flower should feel slightly sticky but not moist. Lab-tested flower with a full cannabinoid and terpene panel gives you the most objective quality information.

Question 4

How should I store cannabis flower?

Accepted Answer

Store flower in an airtight glass jar at room temperature, away from light and heat. Add a two-way humidity pack (62% RH) to maintain ideal moisture. Properly stored cannabis retains its potency and terpenes for 6–12 months.

Question 5

What does THC percentage actually tell me?

Accepted Answer

THC percentage indicates the concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol in the flower by weight. Most California flower tests between 18–32% THC. While higher THC delivers a more intense effect, it doesn't guarantee a better experience — terpene profile, freshness, and cure quality often matter more than the headline THC number.

Question 6

What are terpenes and why do they matter?

Accepted Answer

Terpenes are aromatic compounds responsible for the smell and flavor of cannabis. The dominant terpenes — myrcene, limonene, caryophyllene, pinene, linalool — also shape the strain's perceived effect through what's called the entourage effect, interacting with cannabinoids in your endocannabinoid system.

Question 7

How much flower is in a typical purchase?

Accepted Answer

California dispensaries sell flower by weight: 1 gram (one bowl), 3.5 grams (an eighth), 7 grams (a quarter), 14 grams (a half), and 28 grams (an ounce — the legal personal-possession limit). An eighth typically rolls 3–5 joints depending on size.

Question 8

Can I get cannabis flower delivered in Los Angeles?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Atrium offers same-day cannabis delivery throughout Los Angeles from both our Woodland Hills and Valley Village locations. Order online, verify ID at the door, and your flower arrives in tamper-evident, child-resistant packaging.
