Definitions of the nine cannabis categories featured by NYCC. For health questions, consult a qualified healthcare professional.

Flower

The dried flowering parts of the cannabis plant. Cannabinoid content varies; the name of a category alone does not tell you its potency.

Pre-rolls

Cannabis flower packaged in a pre-rolled paper. The contents and cannabinoid concentration can differ between products.

Edibles

Foods or drinks containing cannabis. Effects can be delayed, and accidental ingestion is a particular risk for children and pets.

Orals

A broad label often used for capsules, tablets, and other cannabis preparations taken by mouth. Category names can overlap with edibles and tinctures.

Tinctures

Liquid cannabis preparations, typically supplied in a bottle with a measured dropper. Ingredients and concentrations vary.

Concentrates

Cannabis extracts with concentrated cannabinoids. This term covers different textures and compositions; it is not a single potency level.

Topicals

Cannabis preparations intended for application to the skin, such as creams and balms. Ingredients and intended uses vary.

Vaporizers

Devices that heat cannabis material or extracts to produce an inhaled aerosol. Vaping is not risk-free.

Accessories

Non-cannabis items associated with storage or handling. This is a broad equipment category, rather than a cannabis formulation.
