Ever wondered whether CBD or THC is right for you?
“CBD and THC are both cannabinoids. Cannabinoids are a special kind of chemical compound, naturally produced by the cannabis plant. Our bodies have a series of receptors where THC and CBD bind to stimulate mental and physical effects. CBD is non-psychoactive and known for its therapeutic, non-intoxicating benefits. THC is psychoactive, and often thought of as the cannabinoid that gets you high.1 Note: individual experiences may vary.
At Sunnyside, you’ll work with a Wellness Advisor to find products with the right balance of THC and CBD for the exact effect you’re looking for.

And you won’t go very far in the cannabis world without coming across the words, indica and sativa. What do they mean?
“Some kinds of cannabis feel uplifting, happy, and give a boost of mental energy. Other strains are more calming and relaxing. These two opposing experiences have led people to simplify cannabis into one of two different categories: indica and sativa. Indicas generally provide a deep relaxing “body high” that is helpful for managing pain and as a sleep aid, while sativas provide a “heady buzz” with uplifting cerebral energy. Hybrid cannabis strains are a mix of indica and sativa genetics that offer a balanced experience.2”
Honestly, with all the different ways to consume cannabis out there, how could we travel this road alone?
According to a Wellness Advisor: “Once we determine what kind of cannabis is right for you, we decide the best way for you to consume it.”
