A Guide to Understanding Cannabis Products for New Consumers

Navigating the world of cannabis products can be overwhelming for first-time visitors to a recreational cannabis dispensary. At In Good Health – Sandwich, MA, we believe that education is the foundation for a positive experience. This guide will help demystify the various products available and provide tips for newcomers to the cannabis community.

Understanding Different Cannabis Product Types

Whether you’re visiting from East Sandwich, Forestdale, or Sagamore Beach, knowing the basics can enhance your shopping experience at our dispensary. Here’s a breakdown of common cannabis product categories:

Flower

Cannabis flower is the traditional form of marijuana—the dried buds of the plant. Available in various strains, each offers different effects, aromas, and potency levels. Flower can be consumed using pipes, bongs, or rolled into joints.

Pre-Rolls

Pre-rolls are ready-to-use joints filled with ground cannabis flower. They’re convenient for those who don’t want to handle loose flower or don’t know how to roll.

Edibles

Edibles are food products infused with cannabis extracts. From gummies and chocolates to beverages, these products offer a smoke-free alternative. Remember that edibles take longer to take effect (30-90 minutes) and the experience typically lasts longer than smoking.

Concentrates

Concentrates contain high levels of cannabinoids and terpenes extracted from the plant. These potent products come in forms like wax, shatter, and oil, and are typically used by more experienced consumers.

Tinctures

Tinctures are liquid cannabis extracts that are placed under the tongue. They offer precise dosing and relatively quick onset of effects compared to edibles.

Tips for First-Time Visitors

  • Start Low, Go Slow: Begin with products containing lower THC content and gradually increase as you understand your tolerance.
  • Ask Questions: Our knowledgeable staff at In Good Health is always ready to answer questions and provide recommendations.
  • Consider Your Goals: Are you seeking relaxation, pain relief, or creativity? Different products and strains cater to different needs.
