Effects Can Vary

It’s important to note that the effects of marijuana can vary from person to person and a strain may affect different people differently.  Some users have more tolerance or have been smoking weed longer or using THC infused edibles longer.  Smoking pot has a faster effect but it may not last as long. Weed edibles may take longer to give you a high but also last longer.  It is always a good idea to start with a small amount of cannabis and see how it affects you before consuming more. Additionally, it’s important to consult with a marijuana health care professional if you have any medical condition or are taking any medications.  Marijuana can interact with some medications.  Many recreational users buy weed for medical reasons.  

A good budtender or dispensary staff may have suggestions or recommendations.  Whether you are an experienced weed user or new to the scene, you should be comfortable asking dispensary staff about the strains they sell to customers.  The best strain for you is one that has the kinds of effects you want. Whether you buy cannabis flower, bud, concentrate or pre rolls these strains are popular with adult marijuana users in Michigan.
