You walk into a pot shop and there are digital screens and product displays of cannabis names, containers and contents – lots going on! It’s so much information to consume.
Your dealer never did this to you. You got what they had and you were done.
Welcome to legalization, where you get to choose exactly what you want. Take advantage of all the options and learn what you enjoy most. You’ll discover that it’s not all the same and that you’ll actually find products that work better for you once you understand what you actually enjoy about cannabis.
Forget “Indica, Sativa and Hybrid.” At this point, most plants have become hybrids and these have become code words.
Indica (in-da-couch) is code for something chill. This is the body buzz. Something to unwind. Want to become one with a bag of chips and a movie? This is it.
Sativa is code for energy, uplift and focus. Want to clean the house or get creative? Get your buzz on.
Hybrid is code for a balance of those two.
But since most are hybrids, what do you ask for when you want a lot of focus but no energy? Or something really chill but still functional? Once you understand what different products do, you can essentially pick the right thing to complement whatever activity you’re planning to do.
Want to clean the house? Pick something with lots of energy – Green Crush, Pipe Dream, Amnesia Haze. These all have that energy that will make you go-go-go.
Looking for focus but need to sit still? Maybe you’re writing music or jamming through paperwork on the computer. Or maybe you just want to watch a movie but don’t want to fall asleep. Blue Dream all day long. Its super power is focus. If you want all that focus but you need the energy too, look to Blue Dream’s sister, Tangerine Dream.
Need to chill? Like, really really chill? Is couch-lock on your agenda? So many kushes to choose from: Pink Kush, Afghan Kush, 8 Ball Kush – they’ll all do the trick. Kalifornia, Northern Lights, White Lightning, Garlic Breath, Granddaddy Purple – loads of options.
Want to sit around and giggle? Go for a walk and talk? Feel social and alert yet heady and euphoric? White Widow, LA Kush Cakes, Cold Creek Kush – there are some that will give you that stereotypical stoner high, some that are more chill but lots of clarity, some that give you both a body buzz and a head high.
Helping people pick the right flower is one of my favourite things to do, and I take it seriously. When a budtender gets you the wrong product, it’s not cool. You’re not going to have the right experience, and that can ruin a day – or keep you up at night.
Come by any time, we’re always here to help (or just talk about weed – we LOVE doing that!)
