There are several things to know if you’re buying marijuana from a dispensary for the first time. These tips and tricks will not only help you with your first time at a budtender, but they will help you purchase the right strain too. Everything you need to know is discussed below. Let’s get to it.

Medical vs Recreational Marijuana

Dispensaries sell both medical and recreational marijuana. There is a difference between the two. Recreational marijuana is what you should buy when you’re looking for a euphoric rush. It contains a high percentage of the compound, THC. On the other hand, medical marijuana should be your go to if you need to feel calm and relaxed. Many people are prescribed medical marijuana whenever they are dealing with chronic body aches.

How can you tell the difference between the two? Just take a look at the percentage of CBD and THC in the buds that you’re interested in. Medical marijuana not only has a high percentage of CBD, but it has virtually no THC in it either.

Be Aware of THC

Let’s talk about THC again. If you’re looking for a euphoric rush, yes, marijuana with a lot of THC should be your go-to.However, smoking or even consuming cannabis with a lot of the compound has side effects. For one, you will feel anxious. Secondly, you might feel an impending sense of doom, and you might even start to hallucinate badly.

Although this depends per person, several people who use THC rich marijuana report feeling nauseous as well.

Choose Your Budtender Wisely

How many dispensaries are there where you live? If there many, you might feel lucky as there so many shops to work with. However, a lot of dispensaries near you would make it easier for you to work with a shop that isn’t that great.

Do your research and find the most reputed shop around. Otherwise, the marijuana you buy might be of poor quality. You might also buy strains hoping for a specific percentage of THC or CBD, but get sold buds with other percentages instead.

Make sure the budtender you’re working with also offers a selection of strains. Each strain and bud have a different flavor and odor, after all. Just remember that some flavors are stronger and better off for pros.

Certain dispensaries offer delivery. This would be what you want to hear if you’re in need of medical cannabis, but you’re dealing with a bad ache and can’t get to the dispensary yourself. If you’re on the hunt for cannabis Toronto delivery, there are many great services to consider.

If you live in the area, Vancouver weed delivery options are easy to find. The dispensaries in the city are known for their high quality as well.

You’ll Have to Use Cash

Wherever you live, most dispensaries only let you pay with cash. This is because of bank restrictions.

You Will be Asked Questions

You might be alarmed by the number of questions that the workers at the dispensary ask you. However, this is perfectly normal. They only ask you very personal questions because they want to make sure you get the right strain for your needs.
