If you’re new to cannabis, welcome—we’re excited to be part of your wellness journey. Whether you’re curious about cannabis for relaxation, better sleep, managing pain, or just exploring a more natural lifestyle, stepping into a dispensary or ordering for the first time can feel a bit overwhelming. But don’t worry—we’ve got you.
Let’s break down the best beginner-friendly cannabis products you can purchase from the dispensary.
Low-Dose Gummies – A Tasty, Gentle Start
Why we recommend it: Gummies are discreet, tasty, and easy to dose. For first-time users, we always suggest starting low and going slow. Look for gummies with 2.5mg to 5mg of THC per piece, or consider a 1:1 ratio of THC to CBD for a balanced, mellow effect.
Top Pick: Sunshine State Bliss 1:1 Gummies (5mg THC / 5mg CBD) – These tropical-flavored gummies provide gentle euphoria with the calming benefits of CBD. Ideal for winding down at night or managing stress during the day.
CBD-Rich Tinctures – Non-Intoxicating & Versatile
Why we recommend it: Tinctures are great because you can easily control your dose, and they act faster than edibles. If you’re nervous about THC, try a CBD-only or high-CBD, low-THC blend for soothing relief without the high.
Top Pick: Green Harbor Calm CBD Drops (30:1 CBD to THC) – A fan favorite for first-time users. This tincture supports calm, focus, and wellness without the intoxicating effects. Add it under your tongue or into a smoothie!
Disposable Vape Pens – Clean, Controlled Inhalation
Why we recommend it: Vapes offer near-instant effects and are a smokeless alternative to flower. Disposable pens are pre-filled, convenient, and designed to deliver smooth, controlled puffs.
Top Pick: MÜV All-In-One 3:1 CBD/THC Vape (Mellow Mint) – This balanced blend keeps things light and relaxing, with a refreshing mint flavor. You get clarity, calm, and a touch of euphoria—perfect for easing into cannabis gently.
Topical Creams – Relief Without the High
Why we recommend it: Not looking to feel any mental effects at all? Topicals like creams and balms are your go-to. They target localized pain or inflammation, making them ideal for sore muscles, joints, or skin issues.
Top Pick: VidaCann Relief Balm (1:1 THC:CBD) – This soothing balm works wonders on neck pain, arthritis, or post-workout recovery. And yes—it won’t get you high.
Pre-Rolled CBD Joints – Chill Without the Buzz
Why we recommend it: Pre-rolls give you the social or ritual feel of smoking, without overwhelming effects. CBD-rich flower is calming and body-soothing, with virtually no psychoactive kick.
Top Pick: Floridian Fields CBD Pre-Roll – Ideal for first-timers who want to unwind naturally. Expect light relaxation, a clear mind, and no couch-lock.
Pro Tips for First-Time Users:
- Start low, go slow: Take your time to find your comfort zone.
- Stay hydrated: Cannabis can cause dry mouth—keep water nearby.
- Set the mood: Try your first dose at home, where you’re comfy and relaxed.
Whether you’re ordering online or visiting in person, with the right product, dosage, and mindset, your first cannabis experience can be positive, healing, and even a little magical.
