Marijuana for beginners and people with low tolerance

It’s common for newbies to give up marijuana forever because of a bad first experience. It’s easy to accidentally smoke too much and feel completely paranoid and light-headed as a result, and conclude that marijuana is just not your thing. Here are 7 types of marijuana for beginners with a low tolerance.

This bad first experience can be avoided entirely with two simple tips: look for high-CBD strains, or consume a high-THC strain very slowly.

The safest thing would be to find a high-CBD strain that contains the non-psychoactive compound that counteracts the paranoia that THC is known for. These strains are very calm and mellow, leaving you with a very relaxed and cool feeling. They’re also great for beginners who have never smoked before and don’t realize how badly each hit affects them. Another good option for beginners would be to smoke high-THC strains slowly while taking a single hit of a really low dose. Look for strains with around 15% THC, which are less overwhelming and easier to manage.

Here are 10 strains that are great for beginners and users with a low tolerance to marijuana:
