Medium · Use it
Two products both say “oil.” Is that enough to compare them?
See the Medium answer and why
No. Ask what kind of product each is and how it is intended to be used. Then compare their labels, ingredients and instructions.
Budtender practice · Unit 2 OF 8
Explain the product types
Use plain words to help someone compare forms.
Try the first question before reading the lesson. Say your answer aloud or write it down, then open the explanation.
Start with a question
What is the key difference between a plain pre-roll and an infused one?
See the Easy answer and why
An infused pre-roll has cannabis concentrate added. Read the label for the specific addition.
Work through the idea
Begin with form: flower, pre-roll, edible, drink, concentrate or topical. Use the word guide when a term is unfamiliar. A product name may describe its form, an added ingredient, or a production method; those are different details.
Practice explaining two actual labels side by side. State what is written, what differs and what you still need to check. Avoid assuming that two products are equivalent because the packages look alike.
Put it into practice
Hard · Explain your judgment
A shopper wants to swap an edible for a vape and asks if the same number means the same experience. What do you say?
See the Hard answer and why
“These are different forms, so I would not treat the numbers as interchangeable. Let’s read the instructions and what each number measures.” Do not invent a conversion or promise a matching effect.
Before moving on
Can you explain the answer in your own words, name one limit, and say what you would check next? If not, revisit the example or look up a word.
This practice does not record a score or award a credential. Every lesson and answer is free to read. No account needed.
