Common questions

What do the levels mean at Cap & Stem?

Every dried strain we carry is tagged Level 1 to Level 5. Level 1 is our mildest and Level 5 is our most potent. The level tells you how strong that strain is compared with the others on our menu.

Which level should I start with?

If it's your first time, start with Level 1 and start small. You can always try a higher level another day, but you can't undo taking too much. Our staff are happy to help you choose in person.

Is the same product the same for everyone?

No. Body weight, mood, surroundings, what you've eaten and medications all change how it feels. Two people can have very different experiences with the same product.

What's the difference between dried, capsules, chocolate and gummies?

They're different ways to take it. Dried mushrooms are the classic option. Capsules and chocolate or gummies are easier on taste and more consistent piece to piece, and edibles can take longer to kick in. Ask us which fits you.

Can I mix it with medication or alcohol?

Talk to a doctor first if you take any medication. Some combinations are risky, especially lithium, which can be dangerous, and antidepressants, which can change or block the effects. Avoid alcohol and other substances.

How long does it last?

Most experiences last several hours, and stronger levels usually last longer. Edibles like chocolate and gummies can take longer to kick in. Plan to keep the rest of your day free.

Do I need ID?

Yes. You must be 21 or older, and we check a valid photo ID at the counter every time.

What should I bring?

A valid photo ID and cash. We're cash only.

Can I order online?

Yes. Order on our website to hold your items, then pick up and pay cash in store. Bring your ID.

Not sure? Ask us.

Our staff will help you pick the right level and product in person, no pressure. Bring a valid ID (21+).
