As marijuana becomes legal in more areas across the United States, more people are interested in the different kinds they can buy and how to use them.
Whether you use marijuana for personal recreation or for medical issues, there are a few tips we can give you that can help you make an informed, safe decision that works for you.
Choosing the Right Plant Strain
If you search for information about marijuana plant strains, you’ll find recommendations from experts and suggestions for the best designer strains you can try.
However, if you’re new to the marijuana scene, there are a couple of ways you can gauge the right kind of plant for your needs.
Different strains produce different effects. Consider your needs and look for a strain that can match them.
You can get plants like sativa that give you an energy boost, or others that can help you sleep instead. Some kinds of marijuana can help you deal with physical pain or mental anxiety, too.
Finding Your Delivery Method
There are a few ways to get marijuana into your system. Some methods may produce effects faster than others, but the delivery method really comes down to your personal preferences and what works for your lifestyle.
Smoking the plant is probably the delivery method that you’ve seen popularized in films and television, but there are other ways to use it.
Dispensaries like Rocky Road Remedies even offer baked goods that include marijuana as an ingredient. If you do go to a dispensary, be sure to speak with the staff about what they would suggest for someone just starting out to avoid giving yourself too much at once.
Understanding the Main Types of Marijuana
You may have heard that much of the medical and recreational marijuana out there uses either CBD or THC chemical compounds. Although they have almost the exact same makeup, the arrangement of a single atomic structure can change how each type of marijuana can work for you.
THC and CBD are the two most noticeable cannabinoids out there. They interact with the receptors in your brain known as CB1 and CB2.
The short answer here is that CBD can produce many of the health benefits of marijuana without the perceived mental “high” that you might associate with the plant. This can be a crucial distinction depending on how you want to use your cannabis.
Consider the Dosage Level
If you’re planning to use marijuana to treat physical ailments, the concentration of the plant you use is an important consideration.
However, the correct dosage might be dependent on your tolerance level. Everyone is different, so a small amount that works for someone else might not be what you need. You can always start with the smallest recommended amount of test what works for you.
If you’re just starting out, then you’ll want to start with the lowest dosage and build up over the course of several weeks, rather than trying to build up your tolerance over just a few days.
The natural ingredients in marijuana make it an excellent resource for treating your body or heightening your sense of enjoyment. If you’re starting to explore the different types of plants and how to use them, a few of these tips can help you ensure a safe and fun experience.
