Hi, I've never smoked marijuana and have been looking to try, so I've been trying to do some research. I want to place an order at a MOM site but looking at forums like this, so many of you are experienced users placing hefty orders. What are good sites for someone like me, who really only wants to buy a little at first to see if I enjoy it? Part of me also is tempted by pre-rolls, since that would eliminate having to buy supplies to smoke as well as having to fumble to learn how to make a joint. Obviously, if I end up enjoying weed I'd buy those supplies and learn, but part of me wants to avoid doing that on my first order, just in case I don't enjoy it. On the other hand I've heard mixed things about the quality of pre-rolls.

So yeah, looking for advice on the best sites for someone in my situation. Also if you have any other first-timer advice on stuff like strains and supplies or anything else, I'd be glad to hear it. Thanks in advance and I've enjoyed reading the board!

man,virgin lungs..you could pretty much pick from anywhere since you'll get baked on almost anything you order,you have to figure out your tolerances and what strains work for you..remember some Sativas can increase anxiety and paranoia so if you already hAve those traits you might want to steer away ..Indica(In Da Couch) can also keep you away from doing anything productive if its a show stopper..

Hey man, welcome to the forum. For a first time smoker I'd recommend KingTuts as a solid option as they have a bunch of smaller quality, mix&match options that will give you the opportunity to sample a few different strains to see what works for you - Sativas/Indicas are very very different. Their customer service is also top notch so if you sent them a message on here or email I'm sure you could work out an order that works.

An alternative would be to look into disposable vape pens - these will provide you with all of the effects associated with cannabis, but wont come with the heavy smoke and harshness that sometimes comes with smoking. Plus you tend to get way more flavour from concentrates due to the lower temps. I know speedgreens has a good selection of pens - my sister just got one and absolutely loves it. Something to look into at least

Happy experimenting!!

oh, try shamrock cannabis' first time customer promo, 25 bucks you get 3 grams, each a gram of your choice, a lighter a grinder, and free shipping. They have an accessories section if you wanna grab a 6 pack of empty pre-rolled cones so all you gotta do is grind it up and dump it in, easy peasy.

I grabbed one, decent bud.

Welcome bud. Im excited for ya being a virgin to it lmao ive smoked 20 years everyday all day now wouldnt suggest becoming like me however you will def enjoy. As stated above if you are a anxious person or suffer fr panic attacks its going to be a hit or miss and prob bad exp for ya if its a miss. Since first times you get super baked. Vs later down the road so saying that i would try a indica first and would avoid quads. AAAA. Since that kinda strenth for someone new can be worst than better I would suggest jjmeds or kingtuts cheapweed any of the commonly mentioned moms. And aim for the bargain buds -AAA. To start with then move up if u find your not enjoying. Mind you taste usually suffers on lower quality so if u do go quad. Just sm amount to start lol pre rolls are a great idea to begin but price vs weight once you smoke often if you do. Buying more will get it alot cheaper. Anyways gl bud enjoy your experience

Why not ask some friends to give you a bit for your first time? Maybe you won't enjoy it, not everyone likes a pot buzz. Would be a waste to place an order only to find out you don't want it.

yes try with friends first or prerolls, ask any mom for help to pick there weakest strain or a
good newbie strain, as a suggestion I like and has very good medicinal properties but you will get fucking baked no doubt!
any Afghani strain.
Overpriced but I feel alot of noobs start here
://ganjaexpress.ca/buy-weed-online/doobs-marijuana-pre-rolls/
Pleasure to have a newbie here seems to be rarity, be safe and good luck!

Hope you find what you're looking for in the weed!

Maybe you can share with the community why you wanna start? Maybe for medicinal purposes? Maybe just for recreation? From there, I think you'll get lots of help! There are great MoMs that frequent here for sure!

I think King Tuts is a great first time choice because they sent you paraphernalia with your order. This way you can get rolling papers and a pipe, which is what I'd recommend for a first try. I'd also recommend just getting a single prefilled vape pen as a test try option, that way you can use it with no fuss. I know Speedgreens and The Green Ace carry them, as well as many many many other MoMs.

If you're in Winnipeg I'll give you a lil weed so you can see if you like it.

Just a fair warning, I've seen two people recommend pens in this thread, for someone new to weed. While it's certainly possible to start there, pens are VERY strong compared to a joint and you can get mega fucked real fast if you aren't used to them. So to the OP, if you ever go that way, take a draw or two and then wait 5 min before taking more. Weed's effect isn't always instant, so it's easy to smoke 10x more than you wanted before the buzz actually kicks in.

You could say the same thing for joints though. I'm sure we've all got stories from our (very) early smoking days when half a joint could leave you flat on your ass with the room spinning around you. Its also much easier to pick up and put down a pen without fear of waste - a joint you either smoke the whole thing or you put it out and get a pretty unenjoyable second smoke out of it later.

I think the overriding point, whatever OP chooses, is to very carefully moderate his intake and take the whole process slowly. One bad experience can really ruin cannabis for people so just take it easy at first and work your way up

Yeah but IMHO, 2-3 draws on a pen is as much THC as a full medium-sized joints... so the risk for having a bad first experience is pretty high with a pen

I’ve tried dozens and dozens of moms and I think hillsidepharms is great in terms of potency per dollar. They have cheap options and more expensive $280/oz options.

I also think skyhighexotics is a great mom. However, I’ve only tried their premium bud line and for a first timer I’d recommend hillside pharms. Send them an email and explain what you want. They’ll help you out.

Agreed. I havent tried Sky High Exotics but did try HSP based on advice from Vdubb - they are one of the best bang for your buck!

First, thanks for all the replies! I'll definitely have this page bookmarked for future reference lol.

Kingtut, I'd be looking for something to smoke that might help with anxiety and pick me up from time to time, and also something to just have fun with. I know from research (As well as this thread( that Sativas or anything strong wouldn't be good to start out with.

I guess my only follow up questions are just how much should I even try smoking to start? One drag off a joint or pen and then wait 15 to 20 minutes to see how I feel? And my other question coming from this thread is if I didn't want to smoke a whole joint I see it was mentioned that putting it out and relighting it can lead to a not satisfying second smoke. Are there specific reasons why and is there anything I can do to work around them (Other than getting a disposable vape pen, which I'll consider)?

2 small puffs/drags joint wait 30 mins, repeat all day / roll joint rip in half - 2 joints..
relights suck due to taste, relights are awesome due to taste and potency - depends on who you ask

I'd only have a joint if I was with people or meant to smoke it all. I'd use a pipe if I just wanted to smoke a pinch and see how it hit me. Which you could get as a freebie with a KT order. The reason with a joint is that it will smoulder up further into the joint than you can see, ruining the overall flavor when you relight it because it'll taste like ash. With a pipe you can just smoke a pinch of weed and finish it in a couple of hits and reload it later if you want more.

I didn’t think of KTs free gifts. I’m beginning to think that KT would be perfect for a first time user. He is very customer oriented and ensures that his customers have the best experience they possibly can when purchasing from kingtuts.

I’d send him a PM here and see what he recommends for your needs. I have tried their flower before and I enjoyed them.

Either KT or Shamrock (since their $25 promo hooks you up with a grinder it's a great newbie option too) but yeah I do feel like KT is such a great first time order option with all the free gifts available to use the weed you chose to buy, and the fact that he sells gram samplers and is super patient with customers, all of those things scream newbie friendly.

Come check out ganjawest we have pre rolls and we even sell 1g for bud if you would like to buy small amounts.

@John Pillowhead. I went through this thread and saw another post from you stating you are thinking of smoking to help with your anxiety. Perhaps I can offer a little insight, only from my perspective of course. I smoke to help me deal with my PTSD and severe social anxiety as well as depression. Yes, I am a barrel of laughs yipeee! lol Anyhoo .. I started smoking in my teens and I am 45 now, so I guess you could call me a well rounded smoker, who has tried many combo's to help with these issues.

I have found that a nice balanced hybrid works really well for daytime IE: 50% Indica & 50% Sativa. It gives me enough motivation to get things done during the day without being TOO amp'd up in regards to the Sativa percentage. And the Indica side of the strain helps to curb my anxiety, leaving my body and mind more relaxed and calm.

For evenings and late night, I tend to go with a higher reversed mix 80% Indica & 20% Sativa. This will keep me alert enough to maybe watch a film or something and slowly work my way into a sleepyhead space where I can actually get some proper rest. It's also fantastic for body aches and the like.

As for THC & CBD levels. If you are primarily smoking for anxiety and/or similar reasons, TCH is where you would want to focus more. CBD is more for aiding in decreasing physical pain. Being that you have never partaken in the wonderful world of weed, I would suggest starting with a mid range % of THC. You don't want street grade ... 8% or some garbage. But you likely shouldn't try something that's let's say 26% as a new smoker either. That would mess you right up lol. Maybe 15-17 %.. somewhere in that range would be my suggestion. But again, I am only going by what's worked for me over the years.

Best of luck to you, get some munchies and pop. And may the force be with you!

WOW! Wish I was it was in person so that we could chat and give a few products a try.

It's such a touchy subject to recommend something, when focusing on an "ailment" like anxiety. You're gonna get lots of great advice from the guys and girls here, not only because they are seasoned vets but because they truly care too! People love hearing about wins others have had that are dealing with some sort of a life obstacle, whether it's a pain, joint issues, muscle problems, insomnia... the list goes on and on.

Seasoned vets also know what works for them and what doesn't. This is because they have probably smoked 100 kilograms of weed in their lifetime haha. They have their favorite strains for smell, taste, look and of course effects.

As far as how much to start off with, the least amount as possible! The worst case scenario here is that you get a mild buzz and need more. If you try too much at first, well, anxiety can kick in and just an all around shitty experience that might put you off this great product we can all benefit from.

So my opinion is, chat with an online dispensary or go in to see one (if you have one local and they have some product knowledge). Grab a few different products to try (start with flowers and I hope you can roll a joint or simply grab a pipe). If you can roll, roll a few different pinners and give each strain the opportunity to bring you some joy Take a little puff of one and chill for a sec. Let it's effects take place. If it was a very light effect, have a bit more and give that product a fair chance to wow you. After that buzz or effect is gone or done, give another one a go.. and so on and so forth. I'd also like to recommend you hanging out with someone at first. Don't let anyone peer pressure you into big drags or anything, that's just stupid, go at your own pace, which is a snails one at first.

Of course, you're more than welcome to fire me off an email and we can chat from there. I think going on our live chat wouldn't make sense for this one, as there's too much to say.

Either way, I'll be following this thread and hope you find what you're looking for! You're gonna make some good friends here as well! Glad you found this place As you can see, don't be shy here to ask questions!

I got social anxiety the most favourite part of moms for me is the strain hunting because there’s hundreds of strains and honestly you could find whatever you want it’s out there somewhere lol. Try stay away from the type making you think fast because I’ve had panic attacks and bad anxiety’s when your thoughts just start snowballing. Usually you can ask any websites live support and they’ll have recommendations already there. I also have the CBd alongside to better manage and have more enjoyable relaxing time.

May not be a huge surprise here, but I'm getting high... and drawing occult themed game tiles.

@Keyll .. lol neither to be honest. It's something I tend to say and no one ever replies to it. So I suppose it tickled me.
