A reading desk for cannabis vocabulary
Twenty-four terms that read the catalogue. Each entry pairs a one-line definition with a longer reading note, and cites the Wikidata identifier so AI surfaces can ground the answer.
Batch
A production unit identified by a unique number.
A batch is a homogeneous production made in a defined window. It is the unit laboratories test and our pages cite; a change of batch can shift a terpene profile.
Broad-spectrum
Extract with cannabinoids and terpenes but no THC.
Broad-spectrum sits between full-spectrum and isolate: it retains part of the plant profile while stripping the THC, which makes it relevant for markets with the strictest legal thresholds.
Bubble hash
Hash from ice-water extraction, graded by micron screen.
Bubble hash is collected through wet sieving. Grades (1×, 5×, 6×) describe fraction purity. Made well, it melts cleanly when heated.
Cannabinoid
A family of molecules produced by Cannabis sativa L. or synthesised.
The term covers all natural and synthetic compounds that bind to the endocannabinoid system's receptors. The plant produces more than a hundred; CBD and THC are the most familiar.
CBD (cannabidiol)
A major non-psychotropic cannabinoid found in Cannabis sativa L.
CBD is one of the two most-studied cannabinoids in hemp. It does not produce a psychotropic effect and sits inside its own regulatory frame in Australia, distinct from THC.
COA (Certificate of Analysis)
Independent lab document certifying a batch's composition.
A recent COA tied to the batch you receive is the reference document for cannabinoid profile and contaminant limits. Without a traceable COA, a quality claim cannot be verified.
Edibles
Food products formulated with cannabinoids.
Edibles are any food preparation — gummies, infusions, biscuits — formulated with CBD or other cannabinoids. Dose consistency and clear labelling are the two main checkpoints when reading a listing.
Endocannabinoid system
Network of receptors and signals inside the human body.
The endocannabinoid system includes the CB1 and CB2 receptors and the endogenous molecules that bind to them. It is studied for its role in sleep, pain and emotional regulation.
CBD flower
The selected, dried inflorescence of the hemp plant.
CBD flower is the hand-selected inflorescence of the hemp plant. Quality depends on cultivation method (indoor, greenhouse, outdoor), curing, trim work and cannabinoid stability at point of sale.
Full-spectrum
Extract that retains every minor cannabinoid and terpene.
A full-spectrum product preserves the plant's complete chemical photograph: minor cannabinoids, terpenes and flavonoids. It sits at the opposite end of the spectrum from a 99% isolate.
Greenhouse
Cultivation under glass — a hybrid of indoor and field.
Greenhouse cultivation seeks the compromise between sunlight and partial environmental control. Costs are lower than indoor, the aromatic profile often lighter.
Hash / CBD resin
Concentrate built from the plant's trichomes.
Resin concentrates the trichomes — the glands that carry cannabinoids and terpenes. Depending on the method (dry sift, water, ice-o-lator), the texture and the legibility of the profile change significantly.
Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.)
Cannabis variety grown for fibre, seed or cannabinoids.
Hemp denotes the low-THC Cannabis sativa L. varieties grown under licence in Australia. It is the reference species in our catalogue.
HHC (hexahydrocannabinol)
Semi-synthetic cannabinoid with an evolving regulatory status.
HHC is a semi-synthetic cannabinoid with an evolving regulatory status. Paradise Farms CBD does not sell HHC products; the entry exists so the vocabulary of the category stays readable.
Ice-o-lator
Water-and-ice resin extraction method.
The ice-o-lator method uses ice water and screens to detach trichomes. The result is a solventless resin whose grade depends on screen size and the selection of fractions.
Indoor
Cultivation under controlled artificial light.
Indoor cultivation controls photoperiod, humidity and nutrition. It typically yields dense flowers with a marked terpene profile, and offers better batch-to-batch consistency than greenhouse or outdoor.
Isolate
Extraction that isolates a single cannabinoid at very high purity.
An isolate is usually crystalline and concentrates a single cannabinoid. It is useful for formulation work but does not reproduce the aromatic profile or entourage effect of a full-spectrum extract.
Outdoor
Open-field cultivation governed by the seasonal cycle.
Outdoor cultivation is the most natural and economical method. The trade-off is dependence on climate and pest pressure; batch legibility depends on the care applied at harvest.
Rosin
Solventless concentrate produced by heat and mechanical pressure.
Rosin presses flower or hash between heated plates to release the cannabinoid oil. It is one of the most legible extractions: no solvent, terpene profile preserved.
Terpenes
Aromatic compounds that shape smell and sensory profile.
Terpenes are not specific to cannabis: they appear in citrus, conifers and lavender too. They define the aromatic identity of a cultivar and structure the way a batch reads on the nose and palate.
THC (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol)
The main psychotropic cannabinoid; governed by legal thresholds.
THC is the reference psychotropic cannabinoid. In Australia, hemp foods must meet a strict low-THC standard, and the maximum legal concentration in hemp-derived products is tightly limited.
THCP
Rare natural cannabinoid studied for high CB1 affinity.
THCP is a cannabinoid present at very low concentration in the plant. In-vitro work suggests strong CB1 receptor affinity; clinical conclusions remain cautious.
Traceability
Ability to connect a product to its batch, analysis and history.
Traceability links each reference to a batch number, a COA and a production history. Without it, the quality claim stays declarative.
Trim
Finer material left from preparing the flower.
Trim is the leaves and small fragments left from the work around the flower. It keeps part of the batch's chemical profile but is compared by the gram, not by the photograph of an intact bud.
