Know what you consume.
Understanding what you consume is part of the Elevate standard. Plain-language guidance on reading a label, storing cannabis, and the rules of regulated retail in Alberta — from a retailer that has served Edmonton since 2018.
01
Reading the label
Every legal cannabis product in Canada carries a standardized label and the red cannabis symbol. Here's what the key information means.
THC & CBD content
Shown as a percentage for dried flower, or in milligrams for edibles, oils and drinks. Higher THC isn't always better — the right amount depends on your experience and goals.
Packaged / harvest date
Fresher flower generally has a better terpene profile and aroma.
Terpenes
Terpenes are what actually give you the experience, smell and taste.
Equivalency & quantity
Net weight and, for some formats, dried-cannabis equivalency for tracking possession limits.
02
Proper storage
To keep cannabis fresh and potent at home:
- —Store in a cool, dark place away from direct light and heat.
- —Keep it in an airtight container to preserve terpenes and slow degradation.
- —Maintain moderate humidity — too dry makes flower harsh, too damp risks mould.
- —Always store securely and out of reach of children and pets.
03
