Back to School, Back to OB1: August Flower & Edibles Guide

August is back-to-school season — and at OB1 Cannabis in Sunland Park, NM, that means it's also back-to-deals season. All month long we're running special pricing on flower and edibles, making it the perfect time to explore new strains, revisit old favorites, or finally try that edible you've been curious about.

This guide breaks down what to look for in our flower and edibles sections this August, and how to make the most of your visit.

Flower: What to Look for This Month

Our flower selection at OB1 covers the full spectrum — indicas for winding down, sativas for staying active, and hybrids for everything in between. Here's a quick breakdown of what each type tends to offer:

**Indica-dominant strains** are popular for evening use, relaxation, and sleep support. If you're dealing with end-of-summer stress or just want to decompress after a long day, ask your budtender about our current indica selection.

**Sativa-dominant strains** tend to be more energizing and uplifting — a good choice for daytime use, creative projects, or social situations. Great for those who want to stay active and engaged.

**Hybrid strains** offer a balance of both. Many of our most popular strains are hybrids, and they're a great starting point if you're newer to cannabis or want something versatile.

During August, our back-to-school deals include special pricing across all three strain types. Ask a budtender which strains are on special the day you visit — our inventory updates regularly.

Edibles: A Beginner's and Regular's Guide

Edibles are one of the most popular categories at OB1, and for good reason — they're discreet, long-lasting, and come in a huge variety of formats and dosages.

**Gummies** are the most popular edible format we carry. They come in a wide range of flavors, dosages (from 5mg to 100mg+ per piece), and formulations. Great for both new and experienced consumers.

**Chocolates and baked goods** offer a more traditional edible experience. Rich, satisfying, and available in multiple potency levels.

**Beverages** are a newer and fast-growing category. Cannabis-infused drinks tend to have a faster onset than traditional edibles and are a great option for social settings.

**A note on dosing:** If you're new to edibles, start low and go slow. A 5–10mg dose is a good starting point. Effects can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to kick in, so be patient before taking more.

How to Get the Most Out of Your August Visit

A few tips for making the most of OB1's back-to-school deals:

- **Come in during off-peak hours** (early morning or early afternoon on weekdays) for the most relaxed shopping experience and the most budtender attention. - **Join OB1 Club** if you haven't already — your points stack on top of August deals, and higher tiers unlock better perks. - **Ask about bundles** — our budtenders often know about bundle deals or multi-buy specials that aren't always listed online. - **Check the daily deals** — on top of our August specials, we run rotating daily deals on different product categories throughout the week.
