Someone new to the cannabis world can feel like there are more products and strains than days in the year. Between strains, potencies, and consumption methods, the choices can be overwhelming. Before you can even start your search, you might wonder, where does cannabis come from, and what product is right for me?
The origin of cannabis products from high-quality producers is more straightforward than you might think. And once you know where cannabis comes from, you can begin narrowing down your options to find the best product for your needs.
Read on to learn the answer to, “Where does cannabis come from?” and what cannabis products are out there.
Where Does Cannabis Come From?
Lucky for us, the answer isn’t complicated: All high-quality cannabis comes from quality seeds.
In the State of New Mexico, growers are licensed and referred to as producers. Cannabis producers have guidelines for how many plants they can grow, and all licensed products sold must have a record of where they were grown. From the time a plant’s first roots sprout, the cannabis historical record has begun.
Some producers are inclined to grow outdoors in a more naturally focused approach, while others take advantage of other production approaches, including greenhouses and indoor grows. Each production method has its benefits, but all cannabis products start with the simple seed.
Quality products start with high-quality producers. But after asking, “Where does cannabis come from?”, customers tend to ask us, what makes a cultivator stand out as a quality grower? Here’s a little about two cannabis growers we carry at The Santa Fe Dispensary, as well as what makes their products high quality.
Gold Fish Farms
While we’re proud to carry quality products from Gold Fish Farms, we’re just as proud of their transparency behind their product. As a woman-owned and -operated and locally sourced operation, the attention they give to their product is clear.
Gold Fish Farms is passionate about using “holistic and sustainable growing methods” and shows off its efforts in the vivid descriptions and insight it shares about each of its flower strains that show up in the amazing rosins we carry in our shop.
Prohibition 37
When it comes to focusing on the healing properties of cannabis products, few other brands are in the same atmosphere as Prohibition 37, or P37.
The company provides in-depth descriptions of its top terpenes to help customers determine the best strain for their individual needs, whether that be to reduce stress, help with sleep, or boost energy and motivation.
What About Other Cannabis Products?
From edibles and rosins to vaporizer cartridges and infused cannabis drinks, the list of cannabis products is nearly endless. The variety of products adds a whole additional level to the question, where does cannabis come from?
While it’s true there’s no magical cheeba chew plant that sprouts tasty taffys and gummies, high-quality cannabis products start with the same humble beginnings as seeds. The flower is then harvested and processed to varying degrees.
Pre-Rolls
Pre-rolls are slightly processed products that begin to take form after harvesting, drying, and grinding up the flower.
Each manufacturer takes care to measure the appropriate amount of product to ensure consistency and to provide an overall enjoyable experience for the consumer.
Rosins, Waxes, Edibles & Drinks
Rosins, waxes, edibles, and drinks take the manufacturing process one step further than simply harvesting the flower to also include THC extraction. Each final product has an intended formula, and these recipes are carefully monitored to ensure that the taste, smell, and familiarity is there each time you enjoy them.
No matter the amount of processing needed to result in a high-quality product, in-house producers and manufacturers like P37 and Gold Fish Farms showcase their artistry and craftsmanship in every product they offer through retailers like The Santa Fe Dispensary.
It can be difficult to distinguish the quality cannabis products from the quantity-based ones. With today’s current regulation and tracking guidelines, the ability for the end user to find a complete answer to the question, where does cannabis come from?, is unparalleled in most other industries.
The staff at The Santa Fe Dispensary is a great source for information about your bud. Being able to know the history of your product — from seed to sale — helps assure you’ll have the highest-quality experience with products that exemplify the high in high-quality cannabis product.
