Getting your hands on medical cannabis is not an easy process. There are just too many tight regulations surrounding it. But if you’ve already obtained the eligibility for it, then consider yourself lucky because you can now access the wide world of weeds. From edibles to cannabis oils, you now have the opportunity to try whichever cannabis product you want.

Although you can try everything now, it’s best that you shouldn’t. Like any other things in this world, it’s important to consume cannabis responsibly. It may be hard to control yourself, but exercising caution will definitely get you a long way especially when you’re a first-timer.

Here are important tips for first-time medical cannabis users:

1. Relax and Breathe

Now that you’re done with the process of obtaining a cannabis card, take some time off. Although there are some dispensaries who offer to deliver everything you need right at your doorstep, it’s still important to choose a fully-licensed and reputable supplier.

2. Visit the Dispensary

After you’ve received your card, it’s time to find a suitable dispensary. But before anything else, make sure to bring only the amount you’re willing to spend. Going into a dispensary as an adult has the same feeling as going into a toy store as a kid. You’ll likely buy everything you can get your hands on.

Cannascribe Medical Marijuana Prescriptions is one of the few trusted suppliers of medical marijuana in Canada. It’s important to do a little background check on your dispensary before settling for one.

3. Ask Questions

According to former CFL player Mike Mihelic, a patient of medical cannabis, and partner to Cannascribe, asking questions will make you feel more confident about your dispensary.

The employees at a medical marijuana dispensary should be able to provide a good answer to your question. If you have anything bothering you, feel free to ask them.

4. Choose What Best Suits You

As you shop around, be reminded of the benefits you’re after. A cannabis plant has two active compounds, the THC and the CBD. Anything with a high strain of THC has a better possibility of getting you high. CBD, on the other hand, will keep you relaxed and is suitable for pain management.

5. Act Normal

Before medical marijuana was legalized in some states of the U.S. and in Canada, it didn’t have a good reputation. Partly to be blamed were misinformation and the lack of supporting studies on its positive impact on human health.

So it should be easier said than done to just act normally after purchasing from a medical cannabis dispensary. You may feel like you broke the criminal at first but you’ll eventually get used to purchasing from your supplier after some time.

6. Keep Out of Reach from Children

Responsible ownership is crucial if you wish to keep your card for a long time. You should find a proper place to store your supplies, secluded enough for your kids to not have access to. If you’ve finally found a perfect spot to store your goods, make sure they stay safe, clean, and uncontaminated.

Now that everything’s set, it’s finally time for you to try all the types of products you got from your dispensary. Michael Mihelic says you can never overdose in marijuana but it’s still important to control your intake. Until then, enjoy exploring what the medical cannabis industry has to offer until you find what’s best for you.
