Introduction
As Michigan’s cannabis industry continues to flourish, consumers are faced with an ever-growing array of options when it comes to purchasing and enjoying cannabis products. New Standard, Michigan’s Premier Cannabis Dispensary, is committed to helping customers make informed decisions and have the best possible experience. In this article, we’ll explore some key aspects of the cannabis landscape and offer advice for both newcomers and experienced users alike.
Understanding Different Cannabis Products
One of the first steps in navigating the cannabis world is understanding the various product types available. These include:
- Flower: The traditional form of cannabis, often smoked or vaporized
- Edibles: Food products infused with cannabis extracts
- Concentrates: Highly potent extracts in various forms (wax, shatter, oil)
- Topicals: Lotions, balms, and other products applied to the skin
- Tinctures: Liquid extracts typically consumed sublingually
Each product type offers unique benefits and effects, so it’s essential to explore and find what works best for you.
Importance of Dosage and Potency
When it comes to cannabis consumption, understanding dosage and potency is crucial. New Standard emphasizes the importance of starting low and going slow, especially for newcomers. This approach helps minimize the risk of uncomfortable experiences and allows users to find their optimal dosage.
For edibles, pay close attention to the THC content per serving. Start with a low dose (5-10mg) and wait at least two hours before consuming more. With flower and concentrates, take small puffs and wait 15-30 minutes to gauge the effects before continuing.
Choosing the Right Strain
Cannabis strains are typically categorized as indica, sativa, or hybrid. While these classifications are somewhat oversimplified, they can provide a general guide:
- Indica: Often associated with relaxation and sleep aid
- Sativa: Generally linked to energizing and uplifting effects
- Hybrid: A combination of indica and sativa effects
New Standard’s knowledgeable staff can help you explore different strains and find ones that align with your desired effects and preferences.
Responsible Consumption and Storage
As with any substance, responsible consumption is key. Never drive under the influence of cannabis, and be mindful of local laws regarding public consumption. Store your cannabis products in a cool, dry place out of reach of children and pets. Consider investing in lockable storage containers for added safety.
Exploring Terpenes and Cannabinoids
To truly appreciate the complexity of cannabis, delve into the world of terpenes and cannabinoids. Terpenes are aromatic compounds that contribute to a strain’s unique scent and flavor profile, while also influencing its effects. Cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, are the primary active compounds in cannabis.
New Standard offers a wide selection of products with varying terpene and cannabinoid profiles, allowing customers to explore and find their perfect match.
