Ready to embark on your cannabis journey? We’re here to help you understand how to consume safely whether you’re just starting out or you’re just seeking a milder experience. We particularly want to ensure that your first experience is a positive one. Low-THC strains offer an accessible and gentle introduction to the world of cannabis, providing beginners with a milder experience and greater control over their consumption.
Learning to find your personal balance of CBD and THC can make all the difference. Start by finding a strain with high levels of CBD combined with low levels of THC. The CBD gives you the relaxing properties you’re looking for without possibly getting the paranoia or anxiety THC can sometimes produce.
You also play into the effects by the methods in which you consume cannabis. There is no way that’s better than the other, it’s really about which way you prefer. For example, when smoking you have a better indicator of the dosage you’ve taken as opposed to taking an edible. Since the effects take much longer to kick in, consumers tend to take more since they “don’t feel it.” Edibles also stay in your system longer and tend to be a little more intense. If this is your choice of consumption, we recommend starting with a 2.5-5 mg edible, then moving your way up to 10-20 mg once you’ve established what works for you.
For beginners, those with a sensitivity to THC, or those seeking relaxation without the psychoactive effects, we’ve outlined 5 strains high in CBD that contain trace amounts of THC.
