To- day's lesson contains the terms, buzz words if you will, that every newbie should learn if they want to be a pot connoisseur.

BLUNT: Popular on the police shows, a blunt is made by remov- ing the tobacco from a cigar, and then loading the cigar with mari- juana. Blunts are used for hold- ing large amounts of marijuana. A blunt can last up to a half-hour or longer. CANNABIDIOL: Also called CBD, cannabidiol is one of more than 65 molecules called cannabi- noids found in the pot plant. CBD has become favoured for its med- ical benefits and can be used to treat cancer, nausea, pain and seizures.

Pot products are often infused with CBD to provide stronger effects. CBD is also used to treat Dravet syndrome.
