Welcome! If you’re new to cannabis, feeling overwhelmed by choices, and want a clear place to begin, you’re in the right spot. This guide explains what you need to know to start your cannabis journey with confidence and ease.
The Short Version, TL;DR
New to cannabis? Here’s the whole journey in a nutshell: start low, go slow, and give yourself permission to experiment.
- Understand your body first. Your endocannabinoid system (ECS) is unique, so your experience will be unique too.
- Pick a cannabinoid. CBD is a gentle starting point; THC produces a “high.”
- Choose how to use it. Edibles, tinctures, topicals, and inhalation each feel different and last different amounts of time.
- Start low and go slow. Begin with 0–5 mg of THC (or 5–25 mg of CBD) and increase gradually as needed.
- Be patient. Finding what works for you can take several tries — that’s normal.
