5 Questions to Ask on Your First Visit to a Weed Shop

1. What Do You Recommend For A New Customer Or Client?

The first question you should ask when visiting a weed shop is what the staff recommends for new customers or clients. This will give you an idea of what products are popular and might be a good fit for you. Don't be afraid to ask follow-up questions about why they recommend certain products, too! It will let the budtender that you are new to this and want to learn more. Ask what they recommend according to your needs. 

For example, if you want something to help you relax at night, the budtender might suggest a different product than if you were looking for something to help with pain relief.

2. How Long Have You Worked In The Cannabis Industry?

The second question you should ask is how long the budtender has been working in the cannabis industry. This will give you an idea of their experience level and whether they are knowledgeable about the products available. The main reason you should ask this is for your own comfort. You can judge someone's advice more effectively if you are aware of their level of experience. Although every budtender has information, one who has been working in the field for more than ten years may have more to share than someone who has only been there for two weeks. In either case, they'll try their hardest to assist you in finding the ideal fit.

3. After Consuming This Strain, What Can I Expect To Feel?

Your budtender cannot guarantee any effects because everyone's response to cannabis varies. They can, however, use anecdotal information to give you a sense of how the typical person will respond. For instance, some individuals find that Sativa-dominant strains are more stimulating and Indica-dominant strains are more sedating. Although there isn't any concrete scientific proof to support these claims, they can at least get you started.

4. Do I Need Any Accessories To Use This Product?

Some items, like chocolate or capsules, can be consumed without any further equipment. However, to prepare items like dried flowers, other accessories are needed. You should make sure you have it before you arrive home, whether it's a bong, grinder card, or rolling papers. It would be really disheartening to go through the entire cannabis purchase process only to arrive home without what you require!

5. How Is This Cannabis Grown?

This is an important question, especially for those who are health-conscious or have specific dietary restrictions. Indoor-grown cannabis is usually grown with artificial light, while outdoor-grown cannabis uses natural sunlight. There are pros and cons to both methods, so it's worth asking about how they grow their cannabis. For example, some people prefer outdoor-grown cannabis because it is more natural. Others might prefer indoor-grown cannabis because it is less likely to be contaminated with pesticides.
