What should I know about cannabis as a new consumer?

Great question! There are several tried-and-true new consumer tips.

1. Start low, go slow
Begin with a low dose and give your body time to respond before consuming more.

2. Know your onset time

  • Inhaled products: effects may begin within minutes
  • Edibles: can take 30 minutes to 2+ hours
    Avoid taking more too soon.

3. Choose the right format for your goals

  • Faster onset → inhalation formats
  • Longer-lasting effects → edibles or tinctures
    Our team can help you decide.

4. Plan your environment
Enjoy your first experience somewhere comfortable and familiar — ideally without responsibilities like driving.

5. Stay hydrated & nourished
Drink water and don’t consume on an empty stomach, especially with edibles.

6. Ask questions
No question is too small — our team is here to educate, not rush you.

7. Don’t mix with alcohol
If you’re new, experience cannabis on its own first so you understand how it affects you.
