Cannabis Info

  • Regulations prohibit claims that reference special dietary requirements such as vegan or vegetarian. However, indicating possible allergens, gluten, or sulphites is a mandatory labeling requirement for all edible products. See the nutritional label for a full list of ingredients.

  • Indicating possible allergens, gluten, or sulphites is a mandatory labeling requirement for edible products. All edible packaging will list potential allergens that are, or could be, present in the product which includes peanuts and tree nuts.

  • It depends on the Licensed Producer's facility; however, all edible packaging will list potential allergens that are, or could be, present in the product which includes peanuts and tree nuts. Allergens are defined by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.

  • In short, no. The molecule remains the same, regardless of which type of plant it comes from.

  • “Hemp” and “cannabis” are terms for the same species of plant, cannabis sativa. While the two have a similar appearance, the term “hemp” is used to classify cannabis plants that contain no more than 0.3% tetrahydrocannabinol (THC).

    As with cannabis, Health Canada regulates hemp production and controls the type of hemp strains that producers are allowed to grow. Health Canada reports that because these strains contain so little THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid in cannabis, they cannot produce the “intoxicating effect” typically associated with cannabis use.

  • In its natural state, cannabis has a low level of active cannabinoids. When cannabis is decarboxylated, either through heating or processing, its cannabinoid levels increase. So, the CBD and THC content are displayed on every product label in two ways.

    On package labels, the first numbers, listed as “THC” and/or “CBD”, represent the active cannabinoid levels in the cannabis as purchased. Dried cannabis will have a low level of active cannabinoids because it hasn’t been heated yet.

    The second numbers are listed as “Total THC” and “Total CBD.” These figures represent the active cannabinoid levels in the cannabis when ready for consumption. Because oil and capsule products have been processed (and the cannabinoids heated already), the second and first numbers will be the same between products.

  • "THC” refers to the quantity of active cannabinoids contained in the product at the time of purchase before it is heated by vaping, smoking, or cooking. “Total THC” refers to the levels of active cannabinoids in the cannabis after it has been prepared for consumption by heating through vaping, smoking, or cooking. The “Total” cannabinoid content numbers are most helpful in identifying the potential potency that the product may have when consumed.

  • Cannabis labels list the date that the cannabis was packaged, which indicates when the finished product was placed and sealed in its final packaging. Expiry dates, which are directionally used to communicate the stability of the product in regards to potency, are not mandatory in Health Canada regulations, so some licensed producers will provide them, but many do not.

    If the product is properly stored in a dark, dry place and in an airtight container, it should maintain its full potency until opened.

  • Should you ever need to reach them, the licensed producer of every product must provide their name and contact details on the product label, including an email address and phone number.

    Each product also includes a lot number which refers to a specific harvest, or “lot” of products, which helps trace it back to quality control processes. Take note of the lot number if making a product inquiry.

  • To be precise about the cannabinoid content within each product, it is measured differently by format. Dried flower products list cannabinoid content in percentage relative to the total cannabis purchased. Pre-rolls and capsule content is measured in totals per unit, and oil content is listed in milligrams per milliliter.

  • While some of our prices (which include HST) might be higher than those encountered on the illegal market, when you buy from Chronzz you’re getting tested, traceable, high-quality cannabis products.

  • Cannabis plants require a lot of attention and very specific conditions to thrive. You’ll need an enclosed space where you can control light and humidity. On average, indoor plants require 12 hours of light and 12 hours of darkness to promote flowering. Watering your indoor cannabis plants regularly with filtered water will help encourage growth.

  • Cannabis should be harvested approximately 56–75 days after the plant flowers. Wait until approximately 60% of the trichomes on the buds turn from milky white to amber. To dry the flowers, use drying racks or hang in a warm, dry, dark, well-ventilated location and cure buds for 5-15 days depending on the density of the flowers and the drying conditions.

  • No. Unfortunately, we do not provide refunds for seeds that do not germinate.

  • No. Germination is not guaranteed because there are simply too many variables involved in the process. With proper cultivation, seeds will likely germinate within three days, but can take upwards of a full week to sprout.

  • The brain, specifically the frontal cortex, continues to develop until the age of 25. This part is responsible for things like attention, personality, impulse control, emotion, which is why it's important to consider refraining from using cannabis until this time. The younger you are and the more frequently you consume, the more at risk you are.

  • This always depends on how much you consume, how you consume it, and your genetics, age, gender, and other personal biological factors. Effects can take up to 24 hours to fully dissipate, but THC can be detectable in the bloodstream for up to seven days or more, depending on several factors, including frequency of use.

    There are few reports of secondary intoxication (i.e. from secondhand smoke or vaping), but it also depends on a number of factors, including dose and ventilation of the space.

  • No. Cannabis products containing THC will have an intoxicating effect or produce a “high”. However, some cannabis products are exclusively CBD and generally have no intoxicating effects.

  • Yes, but it takes practice to create cannabis-infused products that are consistently dosed.

  • Always start with a very small amount: one inhalation or a very small amount ingested. Wait at least 10 minutes before inhaling again and 60 minutes before ingesting any more. If ingesting capsules or oil, please follow the directions on the packaging. If you’re new to ingesting cannabis, consider ingesting very small amounts and waiting at least an hour to determine a product’s full effect.

    The effects of cannabis vary from person to person and will also depend on the type of product and method used for consumption, along with other personal factors that can include genetics, existing mental health conditions, current mood, age, personality, gender, and whether cannabis has been consumed often enough to develop a tolerance.

    If you’re new to consuming cannabis or looking for a milder psychoactive effect, choose products with lower THC potency or cannabis products that contain CBD. If you prefer to avoid any potential for intoxication, opt for 100% CBD products.

  • CBD is short for cannabidiol and is another common cannabinoid in cannabis. When consumed, CBD affects various processes in your body but does not produce an intoxicating effect.

  • Short for tetrahydrocannabinol, THC is the most common cannabinoid in cannabis. It is the primary psychoactive cannabinoid responsible for the intoxicating “high” that may be experienced when it’s consumed.

  • The best way to keep your flower fresh is to keep it in a cool, dark, dry place. Light, heat, and moisture will all contribute to a change in the cannabinoids of your cannabis. Dark glass containers protect from harmful UV rays, while letting non-harmful UV rays to penetrate through.

    - Avoid the following when storing your cannabis:

    - Keeping the cannabis in a plastic bag.

    - Keep it in a container that is too large for the quantity (that means extra oxygen).

    - Storing your stash in a sunny place.

    - Storing it in clear glass rather than dark. Storing it in the fridge or freezer.

    - Freezing can make your trichomes break off, which drastically alters your experience, and the fridge is a very cool and dark place but there is often a lot of moisture in a fridge.

  • If you store it as above – sheltering it from light, air, moisture, and high temperatures – your cannabis should stay fresh for around 6 months.

  • Depending on where you live, most cannabis packaging can be recycled in your curbside recycling program or at your local recycling depot. There are also programs that specialize in non-recyclable waste (such as Terracycle) that accept cannabis packaging from Licensed Producers.

  • To protect against accidental consumption, ensure products are not appealing to children or youth, and provide the consumer with the necessary information to make informed decisions, Licensed Producers must adhere to stringent packaging and labeling requirements enforced by the Federal Cannabis Act and Health Canada.

    Unfortunately, these stringent requirements result in the mandatory inclusion of bulky and excess packaging, regardless of the quantity of the product ordered. The good news is that most cannabis packaging can be recycled, depending on where you live.

Cannabis Health & Safety

  • Every legal cannabis product is packaged in child-safe, tamper-proof packaging to protect youth from the harms of cannabis. Additionally, because THC is intoxicating, the package for any product containing THC above 10 micrograms per gram, will feature a red icon to indicate the presence of THC and a message highlighted in yellow carrying a health-related warning.

  • No. According to the Cannabis Act, even parents or guardians can face significant legal consequences for distributing cannabis to a minor, including up to a 14-year prison penalty. The rules and penalties for distributing cannabis to minors are different than those set for alcohol distribution to minors.

  • Cannabis use has health risks that are best avoided by not using it. However, there are steps that can be taken that will reduce the health risks associated with use:

    - Delay cannabis use until later in life (after the age of 25)

    - Avoid using synthetic cannabis (e.g., K2, Spice)

    - Avoid the use of cannabis before operating a vehicle, and wait at least six hours after using cannabis before operating a vehicle

    - Avoid mixing cannabis with alcohol or tobacco

    - Avoid smoking cannabis

    - Limit and reduce how often you use cannabis

  • There is not a lot of research done on pregnant women using cannabis and the effects it leaves on their child, however, it is not recommended to consume cannabis while pregnant. Cannabis use during pregnancy has been linked to low birth weight and can harm a child’s brain development.

  • There is limited evidence that suggests cannabis use is likely to precede the use of other legal and illicit substances and the development of addiction to other substances. The majority of people who consume cannabis do not go on to use other harder substances, such as stimulants or opioids.

  • Inhaling smoke of any kind can lead to lung damage and respiratory problems. Certain smoking practices such as deep-inhalation or holding one’s breath increases these risks. It is known that cannabis smoke contains chemicals and tar that are similar to tobacco smoke.

  • Overdosing on cannabis is not like a typical overdose you would experience with other substances. Though you technically can consume too much, the experience would typically include vomiting followed by a loss of consciousness. This is referred to as "greening out". There is no documented case of death resulting from a toxic overdose of cannabis.

  • Combining cannabis and alcohol can elevate the felt effects and lead to extreme intoxication, dizziness, and nausea. Combining cannabis with alcohol can also increase the risk of vulnerable people experiencing psychotic symptoms. Combining the two further lowers concentration and reaction times.

  • Tobacco is harmful on its own, and the co-use of tobacco and cannabis has been associated with developing a dependence on either substance, negative mental health outcomes, engagement in other risk-taking behaviours, and increased difficulty stopping cannabis use.

    There is some evidence that suggests combining tobacco with cannabis can lead to smoking initiation as well. In addition, using both substances may also lead to increased health risks compared to using just one or the other, such as the impact on the respiratory system.

  • Driving while experiencing the psychoactive and intoxicating effects of cannabis containing THC is extremely dangerous. Do not drive after using cannabis, and ensure you are informed about the driving laws in Ontario. Although the effects of intoxication from cannabis that contains THC may wear off, cannabis stays in your system for some time. It is recommended that individuals who use cannabis refrain from driving (or operating other machinery or mobility devices) for at least six hours after using cannabis. If tested, you could test positive for cannabis content in your body.

    There are strict penalties for driving and cannabis in Ontario.

  • There is no documented case of death resulting from a toxic overdose of cannabis.

    However, it is possible to “overconsume” cannabis, whereby short-term and long-term adverse effects can occur, especially if you consume large amounts. Short-term adverse effects may include confusion, fatigue and anxiety, panic, paranoia, elevated heart rate, and a significant impact on your ability to make decisions and react quickly.

    The potential long-term risks include harm to your memory, decision-making ability, concentration, intelligence, and mental health harms. Inhaling cannabis long-term may also lead to lung damage and infections.

    Driving or operating large machinery after consuming cannabis would present great risks to yourself and others. Remember that driving while impaired is against the law. It’s also crucial to keep all cannabis products stored safely to avoid consumption by children or pets.

  • It can be. Some people are more prone to becoming addicted than others, and studies suggest that using cannabis in youth increases the risk of addiction.

    Approximately one in 10 adults who have ever consumed cannabis will develop an addiction, also known as “cannabis-use disorder.” The early onset of use, long-term use, and combining cannabis with tobacco increase the potential of addiction and other health risks. Initiation of use in adolescence increases the risk of developing cannabis use disorder to one in six.

  • Second-hand smoke is harmful, but the relationship is mediated by several factors, including the amount of smoke, frequency of use, ventilation, and more. Little is factually known about the effects of cannabis smoke on lung health. However, cannabis smoke irritates the throat and lungs and contains chemicals and tar that are similar to tobacco smoke, which can raise risks for cancer and lung disease.

  • Stay calm and in a safe place. Try to distract yourself by listening to music or watching a movie. Have something to eat and drink plenty of water. If you are feeling distressed, call Telehealth Ontario at 1-866-797-0000 or 1-866-797-0007 (TTY). If you’re experiencing a frighteningly rapid heartbeat, call 911.

  • Yes. Cannabis can have interactions with other drugs or medicinal products. Please check with your doctor or pharmacist for possible adverse effects when combined with medication.

  • Contact 911 immediately.

  • Dried cannabis should be kept in a dry, cool place. If you have children or pets in your home, ensure that all cannabis products are kept safely out of reach and ideally kept in a secure childproof container.

Legalization

  • Cannabis plants are annuals, and because they are not indigenous to our region, outdoor growing is challenging. Plant them outside in mid to late spring in a private fenced-in spot with good soil and plenty of sun and space and water them regularly.

  • The growing conditions for legal cannabis are strictly monitored and regulated by Health Canada as set out in the federal Cannabis Act. These regulations mean regular inspections of production facilities, growing conditions, and product storage.

  • Currently, you can smoke or vape your recreational and medical cannabis in your private home, in your unit or on your balcony (depending on your building rules), in many outdoor public places (like sidewalks and parks), in designated guest rooms in hotels, motels or inns, residential boats or vehicles fitted with permanent sleeping accommodations and cooking facilities when parked or anchored and meet other criteria, and in controlled areas in: long-term care homes, certain retirement homes, residential hospices, provincially-funded supportive housing, designated psychiatric facilities or veterans’ facilities.

    However, other laws and policies may apply to restrict cannabis use in these places, such as municipal by-laws, condo by-laws, lease agreements, and the policies of employers and property owners.

  • No. Never cross the border with your legally purchased cannabis. Cannabis still remains an illegal drug in the U.S. and many other countries, even despite some states legalizing cannabis for non-medical and medical purposes.

  • No. If you are entering Canada from another country and you have cannabis with you in any form, you must declare it to the Canada Border Services Agency. Not declaring cannabis in your possession at the Canadian border could lead to arrest and prosecution.

  • You may purchase seeds from Chronnz and are legally permitted to grow up to four plants in your home (not per person).

  • Through Health Canada, the Government of Canada regulates the production of cannabis, while the Government of Ontario authorizes its distribution and sale.

  • In Ontario, you must be at least 19 years of age to buy and possess cannabis.

  • Yes. You can grow up to four plants per private residential dwelling (not per person).

  • As of October 17, 2018, recreational cannabis became legal across Canada. The public possession limit of a maximum of 30 grams per individual is the same in all provinces and territories. Crossing the Canadian border with cannabis remains illegal, even after legalization.

  • Provincial legislation reaffirms the federal restriction of 30 grams as the maximum legal amount of cannabis an individual can possess in public. Adults 19 years of age or older in Ontario may possess over 30 grams in a private residential dwelling.

  • Adults 19 years of age or older may purchase up to 30 grams of dried cannabis, or the equivalent in other formats, per transaction. Our online store includes a shopping bag calculator that’s visible during shopping and when confirming an order before payment. This calculator automatically converts all cannabis products into the equivalent of dried cannabis in accordance with federal legislation. While customers may select more than 30 grams in the shopping bag, selections must be narrowed down to 30 grams or less when confirming an order and purchasing products.

    It is important for customers to understand that provincial legislation restricts the maximum amount of cannabis an individual may possess in public to 30 grams. Adults 19 years of age or older in Ontario may possess over 30 grams in a private residential dwelling.

    If you choose to grow cannabis yourself, you are only permitted to possess up to four cannabis plants per private residential dwelling (not per person).
