How To Shop For And Find The Perfect Cannabis Strain

 

Shopping for cannabis can be intimidating, especially if you are a newbie or have been away from the green scene for a while. Experienced consumers may be intimidated by the vast number of products and the diversity of brands. That’s why we wanted to share an easy way to find the perfect cannabis strain for you.

Create your cannabis profile

Every consumer is different, so finding the best strain for you will depend on your needs when alleviating pain, improving sleep, or helping with other health concerns. To shop for the perfect cannabis strain, first, you will want to know your desired outcome. Before you check out the spectrum of cannabis strains, think about how you want to feel after using cannabis. Cues like “relaxed,” “euphoric,” and “energized” will help narrow down your search when it comes to choosing a high

Be aware of the strain experience you want.

The first step in finding the perfect cannabis strain is understanding what kind of experience you want. Are you looking for something to help you relax after a long day or something to give you a boost of energy? Do you want a strain that will help you sleep or one that will help you stay focused? Once you know what kind of experience you’re looking for, you can narrow your search to a few strains that produce those effects. If you need help determining what kind of experience you want or want to try something new, like CBD gummies, start by asking the staff at your local dispensary for recommendations.

Go to a store that specializes in cannabis.

To find the perfect cannabis strain, you must go to a store that specializes in it. The best places to shop for cannabis are head shops, liquor stores, and tobacco stores. These are all places where people who are looking for new things can try out and see what works best for them. You don’t want to buy from your local grocery store or drugstore because they will likely not have anything good for sale (even if they do, there’s no guarantee). The same goes for convenience stores: don’t buy from them either!

Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

You should always feel comfortable asking questions, especially if the strain is new to you. This can be especially important for cannabis strains with a history of negative side effects. If there’s anything about the strain that makes you uneasy, don’t hesitate to ask about it—you deserve answers!

Look for lab reports.

While there are many ways to find the best cannabis strain, lab reports are one of the most important. Lab reports will tell you the exact percentage of THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids in your product and its terpene profile. Terpenes are responsible for giving cannabis strains their unique smell and taste—a key factor when choosing which strain will work best for your needs!

Consider the THC-to-CBD ratio.

The THC-to-CBD ratio is one of the most important factors in determining whether or not you will get high, and it’s also very useful in determining what kind of high you’ll experience if you consume cannabis. The higher this ratio is, the more powerful your high will be—and vice versa. For example, if your strain has an 80:20 (or higher) THC/CBD ratio, it will be stronger than other strains with a lower percentage of THC because there will be less CBD present to counteract its effects.

Check Grower & Producer Reviews

If you’re looking for a specific strain but need help finding where to look, reviews from other users can be helpful.

  • Make sure the reviews are from reputable sources. You want to avoid purchasing cannabis that has been counterfeited or misrepresented. It’s also important to remember that certain strains may have different effects on different people depending on their body chemistry and genetics. This means someone who uses cannabis regularly will see different results than someone who doesn’t use it at all!
  • Reviews can help find a strain that works for you: Some strains may work better than others depending on your needs as an individual user (e., whether or not you suffer from anxiety). 

Ask for help

You’ve probably heard the term “budtender” before, but it may not be quite as familiar to you now. A budtender is a trained expert who can help guide you through buying cannabis products like flowers or edibles. They’re also often able to recommend strains that are best suited for your needs and preferences, as well as provide information about dosage, delivery method (vaporization vs. smoking), price point, etc. so that you don’t end up with products that are subpar in any way.

Avoid the fear of missing out.

When shopping for cannabis strains, getting caught up in the hype of what’s popular and what people are saying is easy. But don’t be afraid to ignore that advice! You might find yourself buying something that isn’t quite your style—and if you do, stick with it for a while until you feel comfortable enough with the product that it works for you.

Ease your way in.

When you’re starting, it’s a good idea to ease yourself into the world of cannabis. Start with lower doses and use a small amount as needed to get used to how it makes you feel.

The same goes for choosing your products: start slowly by trying different strains at different times of day and in different ways (e.g., eating it instead of smoking). Don’t be afraid of trying something new!

Stay away from labels.

Only get stuck on labels if you’re looking for exactly what you need. Labels are just a starting point, and many different ways to grow cannabis aren’t as well known or understood as others. Keep them from finding what you need; try out different strains until you find one that works for your needs and tastes.

Conclusion

With these tips, you’ll be well on your way to finding the perfect cannabis strain—and more than likely, after a few tries, you’ll have found that perfect one! Remember, it’s important to learn about your options and ask for help if you need it! We also encourage you to look into finding a reputable cannabis dispensary near you so that when you finally do lay down some cash on a new plant, they will have everything ready and waiting on hand!
