Cannabis 101
Cannabis can feel overwhelming at first—but it doesn’t have to be. Whether you’re looking to relax, relieve stress, or just explore, this guide covers the basics to help you feel confident and informed.
What Is Cannabis?
Cannabis is a plant used for wellness, creativity, and relaxation. It contains natural compounds called cannabinoids, including:
THC – Causes the “high” feeling, promotes euphoria
CBD – Non-intoxicating, calming, and therapeutic
Ancient Roots: Inca Healing & Spirituality
While cannabis wasn’t used by the Incas, they embraced sacred plant medicine for healing, balance, and spiritual ceremonies. At Inca Cannabis, we draw from this legacy—offering a modern ritual that connects mind, body, and culture.
