If you’re new to the marijuana world and you’re looking for a place to start, keep in mind that there are several factors that you should be aware of before you try your first puff. On the other hand, if you’ve consumed marijuana before, but you have a low tolerance, you should also educate yourself and tread lightly.
Marijuana is a powerful plant and if you use a marijuana strain that’s too strong or doesn’t suit your specific needs and wants, then the experience could be disappointing and/or upsetting.
Therefore, it’s crucial to be aware of the marijuana strain you’ll use and the content of CBD and THC within that strain, and it’s important to understand what you’re looking to get out of using marijuana.

What Beginners & Low–Tolerance Individuals Should Know
Photo by: Roxana Gonzales/ShutterstockFor beginners, it’s important to not only know the difference between CBD and THC, but to also be aware of the percentage of each compound within the cannabis product you’re looking to buy. When first using marijuana strains, start off with strains that contain a higher level of CBD rather than THC. CBD is short for “Cannabidiol,” which is a non-psychoactive compound of the marijuana plant, and it’s highly recommended to begin using a marijuana strain that’s high in CBD because it relaxes the user.
Similarly, for those who have a low tolerance for marijuana, it’s essential to tread lightly when consuming marijuana strains that have medium-to-high levels of THC. In general, when there’s a high amount of THC in a marijuana strain, more intense psychoactive effects will occur, which get the brain cerebrally “high.”
Overall, it’s best to ease into consuming certain marijuana strains until you get accustomed to how it feels when you smoke and/or vape it. When it comes to tolerance levels, not all people have the same tolerance level; therefore, the strains and/or THC content that works for one person may not work for you, and vice versa. With this being said, your best bet would be to start slowly so you can find out what your tolerance level is like before proceeding.
The Importance of Starting Slowly When Trying Marijuana
Photo by: Puhhha/ShutterstockThose who have a low tolerance to marijuana and those who are beginners should look into marijuana strains that have lower THC content and work up from there. Then, it’s easier to gauge what your body and mind can handle. As a result, the experience won’t be as overwhelming or intense after consuming strains that deliver a more intense head high due to their high THC content.
Occasionally, people can feel paranoid, dizzy, and/or anxious if they consume too much of a marijuana strain that’s high in THC and/or if too high of a dosage is taken. Nobody wants to have that kind of experience, so take your time, start with low doses, and work your way up.
Recommended Marijuana Strains for Beginners and Low-Tolerance Users
Moreover, when using different marijuana strains, it’s important to know the difference between indica, sativa, and hybrid strains, because they deliver different effects to users. For example, indica strains will physically relax the body in a couch-lock/sedative way, while sativa strains will help energize users, but certain ones can lead to anxiety and paranoia. However, fortunately, hybrid strains exist, which balancethe highs of indica and sativa; therefore, you can experience the best of both worlds.
When starting off, consider trying out the following marijuana strains:
1. Plushberry
A hybrid strain that’s 80 percent indica, which delivers mind and body relaxation without bringing on too much sedation.
A hybrid strain that’s 75 percent sativa, which provides users with a more energetic experience. Harlequin has a high amount of CBD, which balances the high out nicely.
If you’re worried about experiencing paranoia, then ACDC is the ideal marijuana strain to consume. ACDC is rich in CBD and is an ideal strain for beginners and for those who want a body high over a head high.
A pure indica strain that has been used for years, however, this shouldn’t be the very first marijuana strain a beginner tries. Rather, this is one to use down the road.
Overall, choosing a marijuana strain is only half the battle. The delivery method can affect your experience differently whether you decide to smoke, vape, and/or ingest the strain. At the end of the day, only you know your body, take your time experimenting by finding out which strains work best for you, and then go from there.
