The cannabis world can be intimidating. There are a lot of confusing terms. It’s difficult for beginners to know where to start.
Cannabis isn’t meant to be exclusive. It’s something everyone can enjoy. You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy it.
Here are some ways you can get started.
1. The Classics
Classics are classics for a reason.
Start the way most people do with a classic joint or bong.
You probably have some friends who have some weed to share. It’s always good to start with more experienced smokers. They’ll watch out for you.
Smoking is the most popular way of consuming cannabis.
This is because it’s super easy. You’ll also absorb more than you would with an edible. And it’s more versatile than you would think.
Joints are the most well-known way of smoking.
There’s a lot more options on the market than there used to be.
Marijuana cigarettes are quite popular. They have a pre-measured amount. That’s good for beginners.
You probably won’t know how much to smoke the first time.
It’s best to let an expert measure your weed for you.
2. Dabs
Dabs aren’t as well known, but they should be.
Dabbing doesn’t have to be for experts. In fact, there are benefits to starting off by dabbing. Here is a good overview of dabbing if you’ve never heard of it.
The main advantage of dabbing is it doesn’t smell as much.
Marijuana flowers and other forms of cannabis don’t smell so great.
The smell will stay in your apartment. This can be problematic if you invite guests who don’t like it. Weed stench will also stick to your clothes.
Dabbing involves smoking a highly concentrated amount of cannabis.
This means you will be consuming more THC than you would otherwise. It’s best to dab with someone who’s done it before. You could end up higher than expected.
The first time you smoke weed, you might not experience any effects.
This is because your body doesn’t recognize the substance. Your brain is working hard to adjust and can’t relax. This is usually not a problem with dabbing.
As long as you have purchased cannabis legally, dabbing is completely safe.
You only need to worry about safety if you are buying from an illegal dealer.
Always buy from a dispensary.
3. CBD Oils
There are two main components of the cannabis plant.
These components are chemical compounds known as THC and CBD.
THC is the portion of the plant that makes you high.
CBD has the medical benefits of cannabis. It will not make you high.
It’s impossible to get high using CBD products. This is because they contain little to no THC. CBD products are ideal for beginners.
CBD oils don’t even have to be consumed orally. They are great for athletes.
You can also use CBD oils or spreads to relieve pain. Simply spread the oil over the sore muscles like you would any other sport gel.
You’ll notice a difference the next day.
CBD oils can also be added to smoothies and other recipes.
4. Edibles
Edibles are a great place to start if you don’t like smoking.
There’s plenty of reasons you might not want to smoke. Maybe your lungs can’t handle it. Perhaps you don’t like the smell.
Baked goods always smell good.
Cannabis can easily be added to many recipes like this one.
Edibles are great for parties. You’ll impress your guests with your culinary skills. They’re also good if you just want some fun by yourself.
There’s no reason why edibles can’t be incorporated into a healthy diet.
5. Vaping
Vaping is pretty cool right now.
It’s more than just a fad. Vaping is here to stay.
That’s because vaping is so easy. You don’t need much equipment.
Vapes don’t smell as strongly as a traditional joint. They are easy to conceal and transport. They are more culturally acceptable than cigarettes.
If you already vape other products, adding cannabis is easy.
Check out your local dispensary for their vape products.
You can usually find a variety of flavors.
Conclusion
You don’t need to be an expert to enjoy cannabis. Anyone can enjoy weed.
