Welcome to The Farmhouse in Port Credit, where first-time visitors can embark on an exciting journey into the world of cannabis. This guide is designed to help you navigate the diverse array of cannabis products, ensuring a comfortable and informed experience at our dispensary.
Cannabis Basics for Beginners
Before diving into product specifics, it’s important to understand the basics. Cannabis contains compounds called cannabinoids, with THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD (cannabidiol) being the most well-known. THC is responsible for the psychoactive effects, while CBD is non-intoxicating and known for its many benefits. As a beginner, it’s crucial to start with low doses to understand how your body reacts.
Flower: The Traditional Choice
Cannabis flower is the most traditional form. It’s available in various strains, each with unique characteristics and effects. Strains are generally categorized as Indica (relaxing), Sativa (energizing), or Hybrid (a balance of both). For first-time smokers or vapers, consider starting with a strain low in THC or balanced in THC and CBD.
Edibles: A Discreet Alternative
Edibles are food products infused with cannabis. They offer a discreet and smoke-free option but require patience. Effects can take 30 minutes to 2 hours to manifest and typically last longer than smoking. Start with a small dose (5-10 mg of THC) and wait to feel the effects before consuming more. Popular choices include gummies, chocolates, and baked goods.
Concentrates: Potency and Purity
Concentrates are potent cannabis extracts. They contain higher levels of THC and are consumed through dabbing or vape pens. Due to their strength, concentrates are recommended for experienced users, but first-timers can try them cautiously in minimal quantities.
Topicals: For Targeted Relief
Topicals are cannabis-infused lotions, balms, and oils applied directly to the skin. They provide localized relief without psychoactive effects, making them a safe choice for beginners seeking physical relief.
