Cannabis Products for Beginners

While still illegal on the federal level, more and more states are beginning to legalize cannabis for medical and recreational use. If you’re considering trying it for the first time, you may be overwhelmed with your options. There are so many different strains and countless products available on the market today. You might not know where to start. Here are some of the best cannabis products for beginners.

Low THC/High CBD Flowers

Many cannabis strains on the market today have THC contents pushing 30% or more. For the first-timer, this amount can be far too much. Look for strains that are low in THC and high in CBD or contain a 1:1 ratio. There are many to choose from, including:

  • Harlequin
  • ACDC
  • Sour Tsunami
  • Pennywise

Remember, CBD:THC ratios can vary between growers. Always read the label first before buying a product.

Vape Pens

Portable vape pens are easy to use and require very little effort to set up. All you need to do is connect a cartridge, which you can purchase pre-filled. Activating the pen involves nothing more than pushing a button and inhaling. Additionally, disposable vape pens come preloaded with cannabis oil, ready for your first pull.

The vapor you inhale is easier on the lungs and has fewer negative effects than smoking. Pens are also easy to dose. All you have to do is take smaller draws. Another significant benefit is that vaporizers leave less of a lingering aroma.

Low Dose Edibles

Many associate edibles with an extreme high, but not all experiences have to be like that. Many experts recommend starting with a 10 mg dose of THC if you’re using edibles for the first time. Even that amount can be too intense for some. Instead, begin with 5 mg or less.

The great thing about edibles is that they’re easy to dose. Labels provide you with the cannabinoid content for the entire package and per serving. If you know a serving has 10 mg, you can break it in half and start there. Keep in mind that edibles take up to two hours to kick in, and the effects last longer than smoking or vaping.

Tinctures

While edibles tend to be the preferred method for a smoke-free cannabis experience, they can be too intense for some. A tincture provides an alternative.

You can use a tincture in a few different ways. One of the most common methods is to apply a few drops under the tongue, which offers fast absorption and quick effects. If you don’t like the taste of the tincture, you can place a few drops into your beverage or on your food.

Capsules

Capsules are another method of cannabis consumption that doesn’t involve smoking or vaping. You also don’t have to worry about dealing with an unpleasant flavor. You simply swallow them like you would any other medication.

Dosing is incredibly easy with capsules. You know exactly how much CBD and THC you’re getting. Like edibles, they will take longer to take effect than other methods, but they’re flavorless, simple, and discreet.

Cannabis Products, Something for Everyone

Each cannabis product offers a different experience. Before you get started, you need to figure out what you want to get out of it. Talk to friends or family members who already use cannabis to see what they recommend. You can also talk with a budtender at your licensed dispensary for more information. The important thing to remember is that everyone’s experience is different. Start low, go slow, and enjoy the journey to finding what works best for you.
