Safety Tips For Weed Consumption

Whether you smoke for recreational or medicinal purposes, following safety precautions will ensure a successful experience. At Strains Dispensary we are pleased to provide you with quality cannabis and gear so that you can enjoy your smoke session.

Smoking Tips for Safe Marijuana Consumption


Select High-Quality Flower

Choosing high-quality marijuana will elevate your smoking experience. Properly regulated buf has been certified and correctly cured making it the best choice for smokers. With the right bud, smoking is less harsh on your throat and lungs, allowing you to experience the benefits of smoking with minimal to no negative effects. 

Use Proper Equipment

In order to avoid harmful toxins while smoking, you will need to use regulated materials. Whether you prefer to roll a blunt or smoke from a bong you should first be sure that they are up to par. Blunts and joints should only be rolled with FDA approved papers to ensure they are safe for consumption. If you prefer to smoke from a pipe or blunt be sure that your rig is glass. Glass will not release harmful chemicals when heated ensuring your weed remains pure. Although not necessary, adding a filter will help cleanse your smoke taking safety to the next level/.

Properly Pack

Your weed should be ground and not packed too tightly for an even burn. Not only will this help you make the most of your weed, but it will ensure you get proper airflow and clean smoke. 

Be Mindful When Inhaling

Controlled inhalations will help you avoid coughing and stress on your lungs or throat. When smoking, it is important to listen to your body to know when to stop. Unpleasant physical feelings or extreme side effects mean you should stop immediately.

Smoking Tips For Productivity

Cannabis use can be an enhancement to your daily habits if used correctly. The first step to a productive cannabis experience is choosing the correct strand. While some strains aid in sleep and relaxation, there are others that help with focus and stimulation. In general, our cannabis experts would recommend Sativa strains for a more uplifting experience. Once you have found the right bud, you are ready to prepare for a productive smoking experience. To do so, we recommend the following:

  • Create a routine: weed is most productive when you do not use it as a habit. Establishing a consumption routine will allow you to set clear intentions about your use without it becoming a hindrance to your daily activities.
  • Set goals for yourself: if you are using cannabis consumption as an enhancement, it is important to set goals for yourself. Whether that be a to do list or a specific project completion. This will help you hone in your focus. 
  • Use a precise dosage: avoiding over consumption will help you avoid extreme side effects. Controlled use helps you find the correct dosage for productivity. 
  • Create an environment for productivity: a clean, clear space helps you stay focused on the task at hand. Additionally, you should set out for cannabis friendly activities such as cleaning, creating, or organizing.

    When used properly, cannabis can be a great tool for productivity. Be sure to always follow cannabis safety such as proper consumption and using high quality products.

Can Cannabis Help With Insomnia?

Can Cannabis Help With Insomnia?

Are you battling consistent or recurring insomnia? Whether you have trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, cannabis may be the solution for a restful sleep. When you use cannabis, the cannabinoids bind to the cannabinoid receptors in your brain helping to promote a sedated feeling. The team at Strains Dispensary is passionate about finding the right cannabis solution for your sleep troubles.

What Cannabis Do I Need For Sleep?

When choosing a cannabis product for insomnia, you will need to find a strain that promotes relaxation. Typically, our budtenders recommend Indica as this strand is known for its calming effects. Indica strains come in a range of products including flower, vape pens, and edibles. You can choose the product that best fits your needs and will be on your way to a more peaceful night.

The effects of cannabis products can differ from person to person and from method to method. For instance, if you require instantaneous results you will want to try smoking. However, if you prefer a more subtle consumption method edibles will give you the same results at a slower speed. Finding the right product may require trial and error as tolerance can alter your effects. We encourage you to closely monitor dosage and time frames for the best results.

What is Cannabis Tolerance?

Growing Cannabis Plant

What is Cannabis Tolerance?

Understanding how cannabis can affect you based on how you consume it is important for making sure that you have a good experience. Taking edibles or smoking are both great ways to experience the full benefits that cannabis has to offer. Learn more about each to find out which is right for you, with the help of Strains Dispensary.

Growing Cannabis Plant

Developing a tolerance for cannabis over time is normal, especially if you are a habitual cannabis user. Cannabis tolerance occurs when your body gets used to the amount that you ingest. This occurs because regular ingestion of cannabis desensitizes the CB1 cannabinoid receptors in your brain over time.

Find out how taking a break from cannabis consumption can help you reset your tolerance so you can enjoy the effects of cannabis without having to up your dose, with the help of Strains Dispensary. 

Taking a T-Break 

A T-Break, formally known as a tolerance break, is the process of not using cannabis for a period of time to help reduce tolerance to THC and regain the effect it once had. T-Breaks can last anywhere from one day to one month or longer depending on how much you consume and how long it will take to fully leave your system. 

Your body’s endocannabinoid system breaks down natural, plant-based cannabinoids quickly so taking a one or two day break can reduce your cannabis tolerance significantly. Once your body gets rid of the THC traces and gets back to baseline levels, your tolerance level will be decreased. 

It’s important to note that if you rely on cannabis for medical reasons or for pain relief, you should consult your doctor before stopping cold turkey. 

Gradually Cut Back 

If you can’t skip a day of cannabis use because you rely on it medically, you can also try lowering your regular dose so that you are still getting it in your system and eventually your body will adjust to the lower dosage. 

Once your body fully adjusts, you can continue to microdose by only using small amounts of THC daily to help keep your tolerance lower.

Cannabis plant close up

The Most Common Terpene in Cannabis Strains

The most common terpenes found in cannabis strains include, Limonene, Caryophyllene, Pinene, Mycrene, and Terpinolene. Each of these terpenes produce the different effects that you feel from some of your favorite strains. 

Find out how these terpenes affect you when smoking or ingesting cannabis along with which strains they can be found in with the help of Strains Dispensary.

Limonene

Limonene naturally occurs in orange and lemon rind making it a highly aromatic, citrus terpene. Limonene has been known to produce elevated mood and is found in the following popular strains: 

  • Wedding Cake 
  • Banana OG
  • Purple Hindu Kush

Caryophyllene

This terpene is actually found in black pepper, clove, and cinnamon. Unlike other terpenes that bind with receptors in the nervous system, caryophyllene’s large molecular structure allows it to bind with endocannabinoid receptors giving it powerful pain-relief and anti-inflammatory properties. Common strains that contain caryophyllene include:

  • Pineapple Express 
  • Sour Diesel
  • Chemdog
  • Gelato 

Pinene

Found primarily in pine needles, Pinene is the most commonly occurring terpene found in nature. It delivers anti-anxiety effects as well as pain relief. Pinene is found in the following strains:

  • Cotton Candy Kush
  • Cannatonic 
  • Green Crack 

Myrcene 

Myrcene is the most prevalent terpene in the cannabis market and it can also be found in hops and lemongrass. The effects of Myrcene have been described as calming and can be found in strains such as:

  • Blue Dream
  • OG Kush
  • Purple Haze 

Terpinolene 

Like Limonene, Terpinolene is also a citrus terpene but it appears in nutmeg, cumin, and lilac. Not much is known about the effects that it produces when smoked or ingested, however it does have antibacterial and antifungal properties. Common strains include:

  • Orange Cookies 
  • Dutch Treat

Benefits of Microdosing Cannabis

Cannabis in hand close up

Benefits of Microdosing Cannabis

Microdosing is the practice of consuming very small doses of cannabis to enhance physical or mental well-being without feeling the intoxicating effects that you feel with a normal dose. A microdose is usually a fraction of the normal amount you would consume and it’s typically consumed on a regular basis.

Benefits of Microdosing

Microdosing THC can improve mood, reduce anxiety, and enhance physical well-being. It can also be a great way to experience a relaxed and focused high and still be able to concentrate and get things done. If you are someone who experiences anxiety when it comes to completing tasks, microdosing can be a great way to take the edge off while still being able to function.

Another benefit of microdosing is that it can help to reset your tolerance if you are an avid cannabis consumer. If you are trying to limit the amount of cannabis you consume, microdosing can help you lower your tolerance once your body acclimates to the lowest effective dose.

Ways to Microdose Cannabis

It can be hard to know how much cannabis you are consuming when smoking it, however it’s not impossible. If smoking is your preferred method, try packing the bowl less or try to only take one or two hits of a joint.

Edibles are ideal for microdosing because they allow you to accurately measure your dosage so you know exactly how much you are consuming. You can also break down different types of edibles such as gummies, so you can take even less of a dose.

How to Dose Edible Cannabis?

Edible cannabis gummies

Edibles are a popular and convenient form of consuming cannabis. Edibles come in a variety of forms, from gummies and lozenges, to baked goods, and more. If you are looking to try edibles for the first time it’s important to understand how to properly dose them so you can have the best experience possible. 

Learn more about how to dose edible cannabis, right here at Strains Dispensary.

Cannabis Gummy Candies

Dosing Guide 

1-5 milligrams- The lowest dosage available at dispensaries is usually 5 mg. If you want to make the dosage even lower for yourself you can break apart the edible into smaller pieces. 

5-15 milligrams- This range of milligrams can provide more potent effects for people looking to experience relief from pain, stress, or anxiety. 

15-30 milligrams- if you are a regular cannabis user and have taken edibles before this range of dosage might be ideal for your tolerance. The effects are more potent and last longer. 

30-50 milligrams and higher- For those accustomed to edibles or those who have a hard time absorbing cannabinoids, the 30-50 mg range might be the perfect amount to experience things like insomnia relief and euphoric feelings.

Start With 5 Milligrams of THC

Whether you are a long-time cannabis user or you are just now getting into trying it, you should always begin with a low dose when it comes to taking edibles, and 5 milligrams is the perfect place to start. The reason for this is that everyone’s body metabolizes cannabinoids differently so it’s always better to start with too low of a dose because you can always go up from there. 

Wait One Hour for Effects 

Patience is key when it comes to edibles because it takes a while to absorb into your system unlike smoking which delivers an instant effect. You may not feel like the first dose was high enough but it’s important to wait it out before taking more because you want to avoid accidentally overdoing it. 

Always remember to start off low and slow if it’s your first time experimenting with edible cannabis. As you build up a tolerance you can add increments of 5 mg until you find the perfect amount that is right for you.

What Makes Up Cannabis?

Cannabis print

What Makes Up Cannabis?

Although cannabis has a reputation of making you relaxed, sleepy, and of course high, many people don’t recognize that cannabis is actually a highly complex plant. There are over 400 chemical entities or compounds found in the cannabis plant with over 60 of them being classified as cannabinoid compounds. 

Strains Dispensary is here to go over some of the basic and well known components of the cannabis plant so you can be better informed on the effects that you feel when it’s time to unwind with your favorite strain. 

Cannabis print

Cannabinoids

Cannabinoids are natural chemical compounds found in resin produced in the glandular trichomes of the cannabis plant. Basically, they interact with your body through the receptors that are actually part of our body’s natural endocannabinoid system. 

THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is considered to be one of the most well-known cannabinoids found in cannabis. The main classifications of cannabinoids include: 

  • Phytocannabinoids- found in stalks, leaves, flowers, seeds, and live resin
  • Endocannabinoids- these are the cannabinoids that our own body produces
  • Synthetic Cannabinoids- these are created in a lab kind of like a prescription medication

Terpenes 

Terpenes are also produced in the same glandular trichomes as cannabinoids. They are responsible for the aromatherapy found in a lot of plants and natural substances. Terpenes are used to create the distinctive smell of different cannabis strains. 

Flavonoids

Flavonoids are also found throughout nature, from flowers to fruits, and vegetables. Flavonoids contribute to the pigmentation as well as the flavor of a specific cannabis strain and provide therapeutic benefits as well as antioxidants.

Flavonoids work with cannabinoids and terpenes to interact with our chemical receptors through the body’s endocannabinoid system. They can also act as anti-inflammatories and antibacterial agents.
