Discovering a new and exciting world of legal cannabis can be overwhelming sometimes, and that’s why you need a gentle help of a budtender. A myriad of strain varieties, edibles, concentrates, and other products are hard to navigate, and the budtender is your friend here.

However, not all budtenders are equally helpful. Their competency depends on many factors, including business, locations, and individual traits.

3. What Level of Psychoactive Experience You’re Looking For?

Cannabis can affect your body in vastly different ways. Product type, dosage, consumption method can make a difference in the way you experience cannabis. Tolerance is paramount when discussing dosage with a budtender. If you’re looking for non-intoxicating products, you may want to choose CBD-heavy products.

4. How Long Do You Expect Effects To Last?

This question relates to dosage and consumption method. Dabbing provides a quick and intense experience while edibles give prolonged effects. Plan how you intend to use cannabis and discuss your ideas with a budtender.

5. How Discreet Must Your Cannabis Consumption Be?

It’s not apparent, but it’s essential. Cannabis smoke and vapor may bother people. Some people don’t like the smell. Some people don’t want to be caught in using cannabis, even if it’s for their well-being. Tell your budtender about your intentions right away so that you could find a product that can be consumed discreetly.
