Marijuana

The shops will have budtenders who can explain what you are purchasing.

With edibles, especially 1st time, take your time. I'd recommend at least 2 hrs before a second dose and find the effect builds for up to 4 hrs. Less is better until you learn how it affects you. It's important to remember you got it at a regulated point of sale and no one has ever died from weed alone if you over do it.

Watch a comedy if that happens.

Great advice. A good bud tender is worth their price in gold. I’d recommend to start with edibles. Most edibles are either 10mgs of THC or 10mgs of cdb. There are different strengths and combinations, so just talk to the tender to help get you started. My favorite brand is called “Kanha.” I’ve been using them over the past 5 years and have no complaints. You can also find prerolled joints and that’s another fast way to get going. Good luck! :)

Also, wait a bit for the thc to kick in. I had a friend just start with edibles and he downed half a bag, about 50mgs of thc without realizing how high he was going to get. Pace yourself. Start with one gummy.
