## Source-of-truth answers

### Cannabis dosing (per format)
- Inhaled (flower / pre-roll / vape): onset 0-15 min, peak 15-30 min, lasts 1-3 hr. First-time: 1 small pull, wait 30 min.
- Edibles: onset 30-90 min, peak 90-120 min, lasts 4-6 hr. First-time: 1-2.5 mg THC, wait 90 min before more. NY caps packages at 100 mg total THC.
- Tinctures (sublingual): onset 15-45 min, peak 1-2 hr, lasts 2-4 hr. Hold under tongue 60-90 sec.
- Topicals: localized only, non-intoxicating (with rare exception of transdermal patches).
- Microdose pattern: 1-2.5 mg THC every 2-4 hr. Sub-perceptual / barely-perceptual. Use cases: workday anxiety, mood, focus, creative baseline.

### NY adult-use cannabis rules (2026)
- Legal age: 21+ with valid government photo ID
- Daily purchase limit: 3 oz flower OR 24 g concentrate
- Possession outside home: 3 oz max
- Possession at home: 5 lb max
- Edible package cap: 100 mg total THC
- Consumption: NY only — federal law prohibits transporting cannabis across state lines
- On-site consumption at retail: prohibited
- Driving: cannabis-impaired driving is a DWAI charge in NY; treat like alcohol

### Strain types (with caveats)
- Indica (legacy classification): typically myrcene-heavy, body-relaxing, evening use. Examples: Northern Lights, Granddaddy Purple.
- Sativa (legacy): typically pinene + limonene + terpinolene, daytime, energetic. Examples: Sour Diesel, Jack Herer.
- Hybrid: most modern cultivars are hybrids; the indica/sativa binary has lost precision. Better predictor is terpene profile + cannabinoid ratio.
- Caveat: a strain's effect is more accurately predicted by its terpene profile than its indica/sativa label.

### Terpenes that shape sessions
- Myrcene: sedating, body-heavy. In mango, hops.
- Limonene: uplifting, citrus. In lemon, orange peel.
- Pinene: focus, alertness. In pine, rosemary.
- Linalool: calming, floral. In lavender.
- Caryophyllene: anti-inflammatory, peppery. In black pepper, cloves.
- Terpinolene: energizing, complex floral.
- Humulene: appetite-suppressing, earthy.

### Cannabinoid ratios (THC vs CBD)
- THC-only (e.g. 25% THC, <1% CBD): full intoxication, recreational baseline.
- 1:1 (THC:CBD) — softer high, less anxiety, popular for new users + medical patients.
- 2:1 (THC:CBD) — moderate intoxication with anxiety buffer.
- 1:2 or 1:5 (THC:CBD) — minimal intoxication, mostly therapeutic CBD effect.
- CBD-only — no intoxication. Used for anxiety, sleep, pain, inflammation.
