Direct answers to the most common questions about cannabis and the environment — indoor vs. outdoor, organic vs. conventional, packaging vs. production, and how to spot genuinely sustainable cannabis. Each answer stands alone, with GOOD BUDS' outdoor, living-soil farm on Salt Spring Island as a real-world reference point.

Most cannabis vapes in Canada are made from distillate — near-pure THC with terpenes added back in after the fact. GOOD BUDS makes three full-spectrum extracts instead — cured resin, live resin, and live rosin — each one carrying the actual terpene and cannabinoid profile of the plant it came from, grown on Salt Spring Island.

The real difference between a 510 cart and an AIO vape isn't the hardware — it's what's inside, and how the heating element handles it. GOOD BUDS produces both formats on Salt Spring Island, matching extract type to device on purpose: live resin to 510 carts, cured resin to AIOs, live rosin to purpose-built hardware.

CBGa is the cannabinoid cannabis starts with — the precursor that eventually becomes THC, CBD, and more. This guide explains why some strains like Mango Cake retain unusually high CBGa, and why that number is worth paying attention to.
