Shopping for THC products can be a daunting task for everyone.

RiverBluff is here to try to make your next shopping experience go smoother and more enjoyable by giving you tips we’ve acquired shopping and working in the industry. So, kick back in the cut and let’s learn how to buy some weed stuff.
How Do You Want to Consume
There are three basic ways to consume THC products:
- Drink
- Eat
- Inhale.
Knowing which of these three you are looking for before shopping will immediately shorten your time in the store. If you can’t smoke or have sugar, your options will be limited. If you genuinely don’t know which is best for you, don’t be shy. Ask your budtender! They are there to be a resource and guide you through your experience.
How Do You Want to Feel?
Once you know how you want to consume your THC products, you should consider why you are consuming them. People use cannabis and hemp products for a large variety of reasons recreationally and medicinally. To learn more about specific hemp compounds check out this article. The most common medical reasons are lack of sleep and mood elevation. If you need sleep, seek Indicas out or if you are THC adverse CBN gummies. You should probably avoid Sativas. If you seek help with mood elevation, avoid Indicas and seek out Sativas or if you are THC adverse CBG gummies. If you are a recreational consumer, the world is really your oyster. Sativa is great for creative endeavors, it is less lethargic than an Indica, and is most consumers daytime choice. Indica is great for relaxation and zoning out with some gaming, binge watching your favorite show, or reading a good book after a long day. It is most consumers’ nighttime choice. Some people only consume Indica. Some people only consume Sativa. Most mix and match. The important thing is finding the right one for you.
How Much Should I Take?
If you don’t know the answer to this because you are a new consumer, always start off at the smallest dosage. No need to be brave here. You can always take more. When it comes to inhalable THC products, this is a tougher question to answer. The effect of smokable THC varies greatly from person to person. Again, no need to be brave here. Slow and steady wins the race. Here are some general tips: 1-4 hits of cannabis or hemp flower should suffice for a new consumer and 1-2 hits of THC concentrates. That means 1g of flower could last over a week and 1g of concentrate over a month. So, consider how often you plan on consuming so you can have an idea of the quantity you will be shopping for and again shorten your time in the store.
