Selecting and Purchasing the Right Cannabis

The first step in determining which cannabis to purchase is to define what you are looking for in your cannabis experience. Yes, there is medical marijuana use and recreational use. And there is also the intersection of the two. By formal definition, medical marijuana is “marijuana that is available only by prescription and is used to treat a variety of medical conditions (such as pain, anxiety, nausea, and glaucoma).” Recreational cannabis use involves using cannabis for personal enjoyment rather than for health purposes. A typical example of this can be consuming cannabis after a long stressful day, or feeling heightened anxiety and the desire to “chill out.” Start by being 100% honest with yourself. What is your reason for using cannabis?
Once you have determined this you should do some research regarding the different types of cannabis consumption methods , cannabinoids, and terpenes. You should also be aware that the THC levels do not indicate cannabis quality, and THC is not the only ingredient that defines your cannabis experience.
So it starts with knowledge about cannabis. But you should also get a deeper understanding of how cannabis affects the body and that means familiarizing yourself with the endocannabinoid system within our body.
If you really want to make sure that your cannabis experience is rewarding, do some investigating - learn about cannabis ingredients, their effects, and what is referred to as the entourage effect. Once you have a better understanding of cannabis and its ingredients, you are in a better position to understand product descriptions and lab reports that convey details about the cannabis you purchase.
