Marijuana comes in many forms, and it’s important to know a little about them before trying any. Some types of weed are much stronger than others, and other strains have different effects. A marijuana dispensary is a great place to start looking, as they tend to offer a wide variety of the product. With that being said, let’s dive into some of the different forms that marijuana comes in.
Flower (Bud)
The most common form of weed to find in a marijuana dispensary is the flower you smoke. This type of weed can be broken up by using a hand grinder, or broken up by hand if necessary. This weed is best smoked out of a pipe or in a joint. It’s also the most common form to try if you’re a beginner to marijuana.
There are often several strains of weed to choose from in a marijuana dispensary. These strains may come in different flavors or have different effects. For example, the Sativa strain has a high TCH level and can be used to boost energy and reduce anxiety. Indica strains are high in CBD levels, making them much more relaxing and helpful with pain. This strain is also great for sleeping. Hybrids are a mix of both Indica and Sativa, but have certain traits from both depending on how they were grown.
Edibles
Edibles are the second most common form of weed found in marijuana dispensaries, and they’re very popular. For good reason too, who wouldn’t want to eat a chocolate bar and get high in the process? Edibles come in many foods including gummies, chocolate, cookies, brownies, lollipops, and much more.
Edibles may sound great, but new users need to be careful with them. They’re a lot stronger than regular weed, and they take a while to kick in. This makes it easy to unknowingly eat too much, then get way too high. A good general rule when it comes to edibles is to start slow and be patient.
An edible high is also a different high when compared to smoking. Edibles last much longer and the high tends to be much more intense. Edibles are typically recommended for those who already smoke, not beginners.
Vapes
Just like tobacco, THC can also be vaped and is usually smoked out of a vape pen. The vaporizer in the pen works by heating the weed at a much lower temperature than you would if you were lighting the marijuana with a lighter. Because of this, not as much THC burns up instantly.
You can theoretically get more bang for your buck by vaping. The only drawback is the weed is typically stronger than the regular flower. If you’re looking for a great method in between flower or edible, then vaping might be your perfect choice.
In conclusion, there are several types of weed that can be bought in a marijuana dispensary, and the previous three are the most common. If you’re a beginner looking to smoke, stick to the flower. If you’re a more seasoned smoker, edibles or vape pens may be ideal for you.
