We are here to help you make the right decision based on your desired effect.
Decide Your Consumption Method There are a multitude of ways that cannabis can be consumed, and it is completely up to your personal preference! It is important to think about the type of experience you would like to have. Smoking has the quickest onset, which is traditionally done through combustion from a flame. Vaporizers are also an alternative to smoking, as it combusts the product. Oils on the other hand, tend to have long lasting effects and are generally the easiest to use. You may have heard of CBD oils. CBD is psychoactive, but nonintoxicating, leaving you with the benefit of the cannabis without the high. Edibles became legal in Canada following the wave of legalization 2.0, we always recommend starting slow and low when choosing edibles as your method.
Plan Ahead If you’re consuming outside of the home, with plans to travel make sure to plan transportation ahead of time. Similar to alcohol, cannabis acts as an inhibitor and you cannot operate a motor vehicle after consuming cannabis. Please plan ahead.
Go at Your Own Pace As a first-time user, it can be hard to know how consuming cannabis will affect you. Remember that once you have picked your product and consumption method, to start low and go slow. As you experiment, you can see what works best for you and learn what your preferences are. Now, you may be wondering about the munchies… yes those are a real thing and it never hurts to have some snacks on hand!
