I'm going to the dispensary for the first time & I know nothing except dry leaf. I did read up on the other products. I'm looking for opinions on what you like or don't like and why. Is everything safe to use? Thank you 😊
 
I sure wish we had a dispensary within 800miles, !!!
I would really love going to one!!
Have fun on your visit !!;)
 
Thanks DAAS. I was thinking my hour plus ride to the nearest was rough. There's actually one in another state that's closer but you can't go out of state 😆. Truly looking forward to the experience. I'm in charge of my life again & it feels wonderful. So excited! I feel like a kid going to my first candy store 🤩🤩🤩
 
The first time is a bewildering experience. Being in a store choosing from dozens of varieties and products feels so alien. Walking out with weed that you don't have to hide from the cops is exhilarating. We have a lot of dispensaries where I live and I've visited several. Some will really listen to you and help you find the best product for you. Some are there just to sell you anything they can (like a used car lot) usually pushing whatever is most popular or the product they need to move the most. Ask a couple of knowledgeable questions to see what kind of response you get. Ask which strains they stock regularly. If you find one you really like you want to be able to buy it again next time. Don't overspend on your first trip; don't let them talk you into something you're not sure about. Better to pay a little more for small quantities of 2 or 3 different strains and try them out. Ask if they sell a "Sampler Pack"; one of my disp. does and it is a great way to compare different varieties for cheap.
I don't find a lot of difference in the edibles. Some seem slightly stronger/weaker but not by much. We usually just buy gummies. Oils (also used in vapes) vary more and come in 3 varieties, the most expensive being the best. In my experience the cheapest vape cartridges usually taste like crap and/or have little benefit. Remember that high THC content does not necessarily mean it's the strongest or the right variety for you. I've bought 30% that was not as good as some 20%. Blue Dream is my fav and it's usually only around 17-22%. For me, each strain has it's own "ride". I found some Blue Dream that was 27% but was not like Blue Dream at all. Also found some for $100/oz but it was crappy... weak and tasteless (but it DID have the right Blue Dream "ride").
Sorry I can't offer specific products because I don't know what "brands" they'll have where you live. Ask if they have a list or web site listing what strains and products they carry so you can research them at home. And remember that every product affects different people differently. I find online reviews only marginally helpful because of the wide variances in product quality/consistency and how it affects me personally. Read a LOT of reviews then average them for yourself. One disp. here sells only their own organically grown products; the "cool kids" don't like them because they don't taste or look as good but I find their therapeutic benefits to be superior. Have fun and good luck!
 
Consider what effects you are looking for. Pain relief, sleep aid, mood improvement, getting stoned, appetite ?

knowing the desired effect will be easier for someone to make suggestions.
Have fun.
 
Do some research on the dispensary your gonna visit. Might be able to go certain days and get good deals. For example I can get 3/4 of an oz on sat for 175 and save 75 bucks
 
People hate what they use as the base but if your looking into prefilled vap pens king pen are the best. King Louis By king pen is great all around. Lemon OG is really good as is grapefruit.

If you are not an edible experienced person just be careful. 8 hours of wanting to die is not fun. But edibles are great. Not sure what your looking for but edibles and tinctures are the best. My wife is a Baker so we always have them around. I've gone weeks without out taking a puff at times with all the cookies, brownies, fudge, banana bread, and bagels around. She made Sour Dough Bread that was infused 2 days ago so I'm in heaven atm.
 
My first dispensary visit was very pleasant but I am not really a smoker. This particular facility does not have edibles or balms. They have premium bud, shake, oils, tinctures and fillable or pre-filled vape pens. I walked out spending $400 usd. The bud tenders are fairly knowledgeable but I found my own first visit anxieties aided in the confusion. I will easily agree californiakid that you should consider a few of the needs you are Looking to resolve. Despite the pain in my hands and other big joints, sleep has become difficult and I feel like I was a lifetime subscriber to ambien and stuff like it. She suggested a coconut oil base tincture of Ak-47 or Grape Ape before bed.... it really did work well.

’My most interesting adjustment was meeting a few people there from so many different circles. The people who work there need to gain your trust so that you may find confidence and success in the recommendations they make.The ones around here are cash only. Something to take note of...And , GOOD LUCK. I’m interested to hear about your experience
 
TY Redwasp. OMG! My mouth is watering 🤤 for sourdough. Does your wife give lessons? Edibles are my biggest goal. But my first attempts were sad & the last batch gave a friend psychedelic dreams 😱 I need to find the middle point. Hoping for lots of great recipes from the forum when I'm ready to try again. Def going to try vaping.
 
TY toripony. It's great to hear everyone's thoughts & has equipped me to feel more confident walking in. You can only read so many articles before it all starts spinning. I wish there were edibles here, will be making my own 😃 organic, of course.
 
TYFS star, great article. There's so much out there now that it can be overwhelming but just touching base with you all makes me feel better.
 
TY for the tip, Cloud. I will definitely check into this. All the dispensaries are an hour+ ride in heavy traffic so some specials would make it worth the trip.
 
I can send recipes. I make the cannabutter and when she needs oil I make the coconut oil for her. I usually make alot at a time. She does the rest. And she has been baking her whole life so just having the recipe doesnt always help.i cook everything in our house that doesn't include baking. She does all that. We eat very well here. I made some of the best 11 bean soup ice ever had 2 days ago. I'm sad it almost gone. But now we have homemade chili. So I'm sure I'll still be happy.
 
Call me paranoid, but I only use cash at dispensaries. No paper trail on what or how much I purchase. But I go to recreational dispensaries, so no recommendation either. If they change the schedule I may relax.
