When the local cannabis dispensary first opened for adult-use shopping, I knew little about the variety of products, and my first visit to the dispensary was somewhat of a disaster.
I strolled around with no clue of what to buy.
Although the budtenders were absolutely approachable and friendly, I felt embarrassed by my complete ignorance. I strolled around for a while, bought nothing and went property feeling discouraged. After quite a bit of research, I was more confident and ready to try again. I study up on the strange consumption methods and categories. I learned that most of the products are classified as indicas, sativas or hybrids. Indicas are acquaintanced with a higher CBD percentage and more of a full-body high. They are often used for relaxation and to treat anxiety and insomnia… Sativas are focused on high THC satisfied and a cerebral high. They are acquaintanced with uplifting and energizing effects! Hybrids are influenced by the parent plants. There are indica-dominant, sativa-dominant and equally balanced hybrids targeted at every possible effect. Once I figured out the types of effects I favorite, I then started experimenting with the strange consumption methods. Tinctures are incredibly easy and ideal for a newcomer to cannabis, then dosing is as easy as a few drops localed under the tongue, and the onset of effects are quick, but vape pens are also a nice opportunity to begin with, requiring little more than a push of a button. I gradually worked my way up to sampling pre-rolls and dried flower. When I finally bought gummies, I was absolutely careful about sticking with the minimum recommended dosage and waiting hours before consuming more. My next step is dabbing. I plan to get some advice and assistance from the dispensary’s budtenders.
