First time & returning users — Are you feeling overwhelmed? House of Cannabis has the staff and knowledge to help make your return to using the safer recreational alternative a successful and pleasant one.
We understand the significance of addressing cannabis use with a thoughtful and informed approach. Following extensive discussions and counseling sessions with our patrons and participating patients, we have developed a comprehensive 10-point plan to guide individuals in the responsible consumption of cannabis, which leads to comfort in the experience. Our aim is to provide clear and evidence-based recommendations that prioritize our community member experience with this natural product.
Through this plan, we advocate for informed decision-making, mindful consumption, and adherence to legal regulations to ensure a positive and safe experience for those who choose to incorporate cannabis into their lifestyles.
Additionally, it’s crucial to prioritize your health and well-being. If you’re referring to general tips for a positive and enjoyable experience when using cannabis, here are some suggestions:
Know Your Limits: Understand your tolerance level and consume accordingly. Start with a very small amount and give yourself time to gauge its effects before deciding to consume more.
Stay Hydrated: It’s important to stay hydrated, especially if you experience dry mouth (commonly referred to as “cottonmouth”) after consuming cannabis.
Choose the Right Strain: Different strains of cannabis can have different effects. Keeping a strain log or journal of your experience that includes real data like labelled THC, CBD, terpenes, etc… can put you on the path to being a seasoned cannabis consumer very quickly.
Use Quality Products: Quality can correlate to cost, for certain, but feel free to ask questions about how the plants are grown and tended. Budtenders often have access or have been briefed to that information. Also, the plant lifecycle is cyclic, so ask about the stability of the availablity of your favorite strains as you discover them. You might want to bulk up at times if it only comes around every so often.
Create a Comfortable Environment: Set up a relaxing and comfortable space to enjoy your experience. This can enhance the overall enjoyment and reduce the risk of anxiety or discomfort.
Have Snacks Ready: The “munchies” are a common side effect of cannabis. Having healthy snacks on hand can be a good way to satisfy cravings.
Listen to Music or Watch a Movie: Engage in activities that you enjoy, such as listening to music, watching a movie, or playing video games. These activities can be more enjoyable when under the influence of cannabis.
Be Mindful of Legalities: Understand and adhere to the legal regulations surrounding cannabis use in your area. Always prioritize responsible and legal consumption.
Have a Sober Friend: If you’re consuming cannabis out and about with others, it’s a good idea to have a friend who is not partaking to ensure everyone’s safety on the return trip. If you are at in your comfort zone with no plans to leave, everyone can get loaded!
Plan Transportation Ahead: If you need to go somewhere, plan your transportation in advance. Despite evidence that there is no correlation between THC levels in the bloodstream and impairment, driving under the influence can be dangerous and illegal in many places.
Remember that everyone reacts differently to cannabis, and it’s important to be aware of how it affects you personally. If you have any health concerns or are taking medication, it’s advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before using cannabis.
