1. Do I need a medical card to shop at Kolas Blumenfeld?

No. While Kolas Blumenfeld is proud to serve medical marijuana patients, it is also a fully licensed recreational dispensary. This means any adult 21 years or older can shop with just a valid government-issued ID. Those who are 18 to 20 years old must present a valid medical recommendation from a licensed physician along with their ID.

2. What types of products are available at Kolas Blumenfeld?

The team is happy to explain how each product works and which ones might be best suited to your goals.

3. How do I know what strain to choose?

Choosing the right strain often depends on your desired effects. Here's a quick breakdown:

• Indica strains tend to promote relaxation, making them ideal for evening use or for alleviating pain and insomnia.

• Sativa strains are known for their uplifting and energizing effects, often preferred for daytime use or creative tasks.

• Hybrids offer a mix of both, often bred to balance mind and body effects.

Kolas Blumenfeld budtenders are trained to ask the right questions and provide tailored recommendations based on how you want to feel, your experience level, and your tolerance.

4. What’s the difference between THC and CBD?

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive component in cannabis responsible for the "high." It can produce feelings of euphoria, creativity, or relaxation depending on the strain.

CBD (cannabidiol) is non-psychoactive and known for its therapeutic effects, such as reducing inflammation, anxiety, and pain.

Some products at Kolas Blumenfeld contain a balanced ratio of both cannabinoids, offering relief without intense psychoactive effects. Staff can help you find the right ratio for your wellness needs.

5. How do edibles work, and how long do they last?

Edibles are metabolized through the digestive system, which means they take longer to kick in—typically 30 minutes to 2 hours—but the effects last much longer, often between 4 and 8 hours.

Kolas Blumenfeld always recommends starting low and slow: Begin with 2.5 to 5mg of THC and wait at least two hours before consuming more. The dispensary carries a wide variety of clearly labeled edibles to help customers control their experience.

6. Can I use cannabis for sleep, pain, or anxiety?

Yes. Many customers visit Kolas Blumenfeld seeking natural alternatives for common health concerns. Here are a few general tips:

• For sleep, indicas and products with higher THC content are often effective.

• For pain relief, CBD topicals or balanced THC/CBD ratios may be recommended.

• For anxiety, many users report positive experiences with CBD-dominant products or calming indica strains.

Of course, individual responses to cannabis vary, and staff are always available to help you fine-tune your approach based on your unique needs.

7. How do I store cannabis products?

To maintain potency, flavor, and freshness, store your cannabis in a cool, dry place away from light. Airtight glass jars are best for flower, while edibles should remain in their original packaging.

Avoid the refrigerator or freezer, which can introduce moisture and degrade quality. Kolas Blumenfeld provides storage tips with many purchases to help you keep your products in top condition.

8. Is cannabis delivery available from Kolas Blumenfeld?

Yes, the dispensary offers fast and discreet cannabis delivery to North Sacramento and surrounding areas. Customers can browse the menu online, place an order, and have their products delivered to their home the same day, depending on availability.
