October Wellness Workshop: Exploring Vapes for Cannabis Wellness & Enjoyment
At Missouri Health & Wellness Dispensaries (MHW), our mission has always been to provide cannabis education and access to the people of Missouri in a way that empowers every customer. Whether you’re a medical patient seeking relief with cannabis vapes or a just want to explore to extract and concentrate based products our October Wellness Workshop is designed to meet you where you are.
This month’s focus: disposable vapes and cartridges. These products are not just convenient—they’re versatile tools that can support wellness goals while also fitting into a recreational lifestyle.
Why Learn About Disposables & Cartridges?
The selection of cannabis vapes available in Missouri are one of the most approachable and discreet ways to consume cannabis. They can support a wide range of needs:
- Medical patients may use them for pain management, relaxation, appetite stimulation, or better sleep.
- Recreational consumers may enjoy them for focus, creativity, or stress relief after a long day.
By understanding the differences between vape types, extracts, and cannabinoid ratios, you can choose products that fit what you’re looking for in your cannabis products.
Cartridges vs. Disposables: What to Know
Cartridges
- Reusable with a separate battery
- Offer flexibility to switch between strains and effects
- Available in .5g, 1g, and 2g sizes
- Require occasional charging and cleaning
Disposables
- All-in-one design, pre-filled and ready to use
- Often small, discreet, and user-friendly
- Convenient for travel or on-the-go moments
- Limited to the strain inside, but simple and reliable
Both are smokeless options that deliver cannabis effects quickly and discreetly, making them valuable for both medical marijuana patients and recreational cannabis consumers.
Cannabis Extracts Explained
At the workshop, we’ll cover the differences between common vape oil types:
- Live Resin: Live Resin is a full-spectrum extract made from fresh frozen cannabis plant material that is extracted with various methods (Butane, Alcohol, CO2)
- Live Rosin: Live Rosin is solventless, full spectrum extract made from fresh frozen plant material that has a complete tricomb profile
- Distillate – Highly refined THC oil, potent but with fewer terpenes and less strain-specific flavor.
Each extract provides a unique experience—resin and rosin are popular for flavor and balanced effects, while distillate offers maximum THC strength.
Ratios & The Entourage Effect
Different Cannabinoid ratios will define your cannabis experience. For example:
- 1:1 THC:CBD – Balanced, gentle, and versatile for both wellness and relaxation.
- Higher CBD ratios – May help with stress, inflammation, and focus.
- Higher THC ratios – Offer stronger psychoactive effects, often used for pain or sleep support.
Understanding ratios lets you match products to your desired feeling, whether that’s managing symptoms or just relaxing and having some fun.
Terpenes: More Than Just Flavor
Terpenes are aromatic compounds that influence cannabis effects. Some of the most common terpenes found in cannabis are:
| Terpene | Aroma | Benefits | Found in |
|---|---|---|---|
| Myrcene | Earthy, Musky | Promotes Relaxation and Pain Relief | Mangos, Thyme |
| Limonene | Citrusy | Mood Uplifter, Stress Relief | Citrus Fruits, Rosemary |
| Pinene | Pine, Woody | Enhances Alertness, Focus and Memory | Pine Trees, Basil, rosemary |
| Caryophyllene | Peppery, Spicy, Woody | Pain Relief, Anti-Anxiety | Black Pepper, Cinnamon, Cloves |
| Linalool | Floral, Lavender | Calming, sedative, pain relief | Lavender, Mint, Rosewood |
| Humulene | Earthy, Woody, Spicy | Appetite Suppressant | Hops, Sage, Ginger |
Both medical and recreational users benefit from understanding terpenes—they’re an important factor to tailoring the experience you get from your cannabis products.
