Flower, Edibles, Vapes & More: Understanding the Different Types of Cannabis Products
If you’ve ever walked into a cannabis dispensary and wondered what the difference is between flower, pre-rolls, edibles, vape cartridges, and concentrates, you’re not alone. With so many options available, it can be difficult to know where to start. At Re-Up Washington, we’re here to make shopping for cannabis simple. Whether you’re visiting us for the first time or looking to try something new, understanding the basics can help you choose products that fit your preferences and lifestyle.
Every cannabis product offers a different way to enjoy cannabis. Some customers prefer the traditional experience of flower, while others enjoy the convenience of pre-rolls, the discretion of vape cartridges, or the long-lasting nature of edibles. Here’s a closer look at the most common product categories you’ll find at our Tacoma recreational cannabis dispensary.
Cannabis Flower
Flower is the traditional form of cannabis and remains one of the most popular choices for both new and experienced consumers. It consists of the dried buds of the cannabis plant and is typically enjoyed using a pipe, bong, or rolling papers.
At Re-Up Washington, we carry premium flower from trusted Washington growers, including indica, sativa, and hybrid varieties. Each strain has its own unique aroma, flavor profile, and cannabinoid content.
- Traditional cannabis experience
- Wide variety of strains
- Available in multiple sizes and price points
- Great option for customers who enjoy customizing their experience
Pre-Rolls
Pre-rolls offer all the benefits of flower without the need to grind or roll it yourself. These ready-to-enjoy joints are a convenient option for customers who want a simple experience or are trying a new strain without purchasing a larger amount.
- Ready to enjoy
- No rolling required
- Available as single pre-rolls and multipacks
- Great for convenience
THC Edibles
Edibles include products such as gummies, chocolates, beverages, and other infused foods. Because edibles are processed through the digestive system, they typically take longer to produce noticeable effects than inhaled cannabis products.
For customers trying edibles for the first time, it’s important to be patient and follow the serving information provided on the product packaging.
- Smoke-free option
- Available in a variety of flavors and formats
- Clearly labeled serving sizes
- Convenient and discreet
Vape Cartridges
Vape cartridges are designed to be used with compatible vape batteries and offer a portable, convenient way to consume cannabis. At Re-Up, you’ll find both traditional THC cartridges and live resin options from trusted Washington producers.
Many customers appreciate vape cartridges for their convenience, portability, and wide selection of strain options.
- Portable and convenient
- Wide variety of strain options
- Available in distillate and live resin varieties
- Compatible with standard vape batteries
Cannabis Concentrates
Concentrates are cannabis products that contain concentrated cannabinoids and terpenes. Common forms include wax, live resin, rosin, shatter, badder, and diamonds.
Because concentrates are highly refined products, many experienced cannabis consumers appreciate the wide variety of textures, aromas, and extraction methods available.
- Highly concentrated cannabis products
- Available in multiple textures and consistencies
- Includes live resin, rosin, wax, badder, and shatter
- Large selection of premium extracts
