The Expert's Guide To Choosing The Best Marijuana Strain

How To Choose A Marijuana Strain The Right Way
 

When you’re looking to buy a cannabis strain, there are a lot of things to consider. You need to think about what kind of high you want, the effects you’re looking for, and your tolerance level. With so many different strains on the market, it can be tough to choose the right one. But don’t worry, below will give you an expert guide for you to give on how to choose a marijuana strain the right way:
 

Figure out why you’re buying marijuana strain.
 

First, you need to figure out why you’re buying cannabis strain in the first place. There are many different reasons people might buy marijuana strain depending on their state laws, medical or recreational use, and getting high for fun or medicinal purposes. Are you looking to feel relaxed? Do you want a serious boost? Or do you just want something that tastes good? Figure this out before going any further because it will help narrow down your search results immeasurably.
 

Open up about what kind of strain profile is best for your needs.
 

Once you have figured out why you’re buying marijuana strain, it’s time to figure out what kind of high is best for your needs. Are you looking to get super stoned? Or are you just in need of something light and mellow that will help take the edge off before bedtime? Figure this out as well because knowing how much THC or CBD a strain has can make all the difference when selecting your next purchase.
 

Be aware of the different types of strains.
 

Now that you understand what to look for when it comes to finding the right marijuana strain for your needs, it’s important to be aware of some of the different types of strains that are out there. There are three main categories, Sativas,  Indicas, and Hybrids. These can be broken down even more into sub-categories, but the main types are Sativa (the creative, energetic high), Indica (the couch lock, body stone type), and Hybrid which offers a nice combination of both worlds for those looking for an alternative to pure Sativas or Indicas.
 

Figure out your tolerance level before you buy strain.
 

It’s not uncommon in this day and age that people will have different tolerances depending on what they do with cannabis use every single day. If you smoke every morning to help get yourself going then you might need something stronger than someone who only uses marijuana once a week at most. Figure out how often you plan on using cannabis and what your tolerance is before you go out and buy the next best thing.
 

Be sure to ask the dispensary staff about their favorite strains.
 

This is probably the best piece of advice we can give you when it comes to choosing a marijuana strain. The staff at your local dispensary are most likely cannabis experts and will be more than happy to help steer you in the right direction, whether you’re looking for an energetic high or something that will make you sleepy. They can tell you about different strains they have on their shelves that might not be as popular as others.  
 

Take into account the smell, taste, and appearance of the strain.
 

When you finally find a few strains that might be good for you, take some time to smell them, look at them and even taste them if you can. Different strains will have different smells and flavors so it’s important that you like what you’re putting into your body. Some strains might look green and healthy while others might be covered in crystals, both are okay but something to consider before making your purchase.
