Let’s get one thing straight: Despite years of casual cannabis consumption, I’m no expert. But thankfully, and to the benefit of any Santa Barbaran looking to familiarize themselves with the world of weed, Jordan Treece is. I had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with Treece, Senior Floor Lead at S.B.’s Farmacy Dispensary, as he updated me on some of the most recent developments in the cannabis industry.
For states where marijuana has been legalized, it has outgrown its associations with unproductiveness and lethargy. No longer is cannabis the drug your parents warned you about — it’s more likely the substance helping them get to sleep, focus on their to-do list, and socialize with friends. As the city’s first recreational cannabis store, the Farmacy has been at the forefront of this de-stigmatization in Santa Barbara.
Through stories of his own health struggles, Treece spoke to the healing power of cannabis, occasionally using four-plus-syllable scientific terms that had me both impressed and excited to engage with a company that places a clear priority on thoroughly understanding their products. Though it may be the most widely known cannabinoid, THC is far from the only active compound you’ll find on store shelves these days, with items containing CBD, CBG, and CBN making appearances in force. It’s these latter, more recently discovered cannabinoids that can offer pain relief, reduce inflammation, and generally make today’s options more suited for the pursuit of personal wellness than ever before, as scientific advances have isolated compounds that maximize their medicinal benefits and minimize psychedelic side effects.
