What Each Part of the Label Tells You

Cannabinoid information

Labels list cannabinoids such as THC and CBD. Flower usually shows a percentage, while edibles show milligrams per serving and per package.

Serving information

Edibles and other measured products show a serving size. Follow the label and its warnings. This guide is not dosing advice.

Ingredients and allergens

For anything you eat or drink, read the ingredient list and allergen statements, especially if you have allergies or dietary restrictions.

Producer and batch details

Labels may show the producer, a batch number and testing or packaging dates. These help separate regulated products from unlabeled goods.

Warnings and storage

Read every required warning and the storage instructions. Keep cannabis locked away from children and pets.

Package size and price

Check the weight or volume and work out the price per gram or per milligram to compare fairly.

Put It Into Practice

Once you know the basics, browse our live menu and compare products using the same fields. If something on a label is unclear, ask our team in store.
