If You Smoke Weed You Will Have Higher Hospital Bills?

CNN Says that if you smoke weed you’ll have higher hospital bills!
I wish I was making this up, but the latest “research” by “scientists” who are definitely not funded by the pharmaceutical industry and have absolutely no conflict of interests whatsoever, “found” that people with “cannabis use disorder” (the pharmacological term for Weed Smoker) took longer to recover post surgery and also had higher bills because of how much weed allegedly destroys their recovery process.
What’s more, a whopping 30% of people who smoke weed will develop CUD. Facts, people…facts!
And before continue with the rest of this article, I’d like to invite you to internalize the tone of sarcasm I’ll insert into this piece because tearing apart Reefer Madness is therapeutic for me.
So first, let’s summarize the article published on CNN’s website.
“Overuse of marijuana use linked to complications and DEATH study finds…”
With a headline like that, how couldn’t you read the article. When you do, you’ll notice a lot of your typical reefer madness techniques, using “science” and its power to convince you that smoking weed is indeed bad for you.
But to spare you the suffering, I’ve summarized the article in bullet points below:
-
A new study suggests that clinical overuse of marijuana is associated with complications after major elective surgery.
-
Smoking marijuana can impact blood flow, respiration, body temperature, and contribute to airway blockages, potentially making recovery from surgery more difficult.
-
The study found that patients with cannabis use disorder had a higher risk of complications, such as blockages of coronary arteries, stroke, kidney injury, blood clots, breathing difficulties, infection, and in-hospital death.
-
Patients with cannabis use disorder also had longer hospital stays and higher hospital bills compared to those without the disorder.
-
The study highlights the importance of preoperative screening for cannabis use disorder in the context of increasing cannabis use rates.
Now it’s true, cannabis users do have a higher tolerance for anesthesia. Therefore, if you’re doing any major surgery, it’s probably best to explain that you do smoke weed and more or less how much.
It’s better for people to think “Look at this stoner” than for you to not be under enough when there’s a bunch of masked butchers cutting into your body.
But I want to point out specific things in this article that I think people need to become aware of. It’s the techniques on how they (probably the pharmaceutical companies) utilize certain wording to push ideas into your mind. These ideas then eventually become internalized and turn into beliefs.
How to create beliefs…
In the article in CNN there were Four Major techniques being utilized to get their “message” into your mind and past your filters.
Fear-mongering:
In the realm of “persuasive writing”, fear-mongering is a tactic often employed to sway opinions or behaviors by accentuating the most extreme outcomes. In the case of the article you shared, the emphasis on complications after surgery linked to the clinical overuse of marijuana seems to follow this pattern. By prominently highlighting severe consequences such as blood clots, stroke, breathing difficulties, kidney issues, and even death, the intention may be to create a sense of alarm and discourage marijuana use.
While it’s important to consider potential risks associated with any substance or activity, it’s equally crucial to approach information with a discerning eye. Fear-based narratives can sometimes amplify the negative aspects while downplaying potential benefits or providing a balanced perspective. It is essential to seek reliable, evidence-based research that presents a comprehensive view, weighing both potential risks and benefits.
By approaching discussions on cannabis use in a well-informed and balanced manner, we can foster a more productive dialogue that enables individuals to make informed decisions based on their unique circumstances and preferences. Remember, knowledge empowers us to navigate complex topics with confidence and make choices that align with our personal well-being.
Selective use of research:
When examining a topic as multifaceted as marijuana, it is important to consider a wide range of research and perspectives. However, the article you shared appears to selectively reference studies that support negative claims about marijuana, potentially presenting an imbalanced perspective. This cherry-picking of studies can be misleading and limit a comprehensive understanding of the subject.
By focusing solely on studies that highlight the impact of marijuana on blood flow, respiration, body temperature, airway blockages, blood pressure, and heart rate, the article may inadvertently exclude other research that explores potential benefits or presents a more nuanced view. This approach can create a skewed perception, failing to capture the full picture of marijuana’s effects.
To develop a well-rounded understanding, it is crucial to explore diverse sources and consider a range of studies that examine both positive and negative aspects. This enables us to form informed opinions based on a broader foundation of evidence, fostering a more accurate and balanced understanding of the topic at hand. By critically evaluating research and seeking a comprehensive perspective, we can engage in more informed discussions and make decisions that align with our individual needs and values.
Associating marijuana use with disorder and addiction:
Within the context of discussing marijuana use, it is important to approach the topic with a nuanced understanding. The article repeatedly mentions cannabis use disorder and addiction, highlighting dependence and negative withdrawal symptoms.
By consistently emphasizing these aspects, the article may seek to create a negative perception of marijuana use, suggesting that it leads to problematic behaviors and interferes with daily life.
While it is true that some individuals may experience dependence or addiction in relation to marijuana use, it is important to recognize that this is not the case for everyone.
The portrayal of marijuana use solely in terms of disorder and addiction can oversimplify a complex issue and disregard the experiences of responsible and moderate users.
It is crucial to acknowledge that marijuana affects individuals differently and that patterns of use can vary widely. Many people incorporate marijuana into their lives responsibly and without experiencing significant negative consequences.
By understanding the full spectrum of experiences and considering a range of perspectives, we can foster a more informed and balanced conversation surrounding marijuana use, avoiding stigmatization and embracing a more comprehensive understanding of its potential effects.
And this is essentially what we all want, to simply be treated as any other drug user, whether they smoke cigarettes or drink beer.
Statistical manipulation:
In the world of research and statistics, it is crucial to interpret data with caution and a discerning eye. The article you shared appears to highlight a slightly higher risk for complications in patients with cannabis use disorder, describing it as significant. However, it is essential to examine the actual difference in risk percentages to gain a comprehensive understanding.
Sometimes, companies or individuals may manipulate statistical data to suit a particular narrative or agenda. This practice, known as “lying with numbers,” is not uncommon and can be observed in various fields, including the drug war and even recent cases like Pfizer’s payment of one of the largest criminal fines for off-label promotion.
By magnifying the significance of a relatively small difference in risk percentages, the article may be employing a technique that could potentially distort the true impact of cannabis use disorder on surgical complications. It is crucial to critically evaluate statistical claims and consider the context, sample size, and potential biases within the research.
When encountering statistical information, it is important to delve deeper, seek multiple sources, and explore a range of perspectives. This approach enables us to form a more informed understanding, ensuring that statistical manipulation does not lead us astray. By examining the numbers with scrutiny, we can uncover the truth behind the data and make more sound judgments based on reliable evidence.
Propaganda is alive and well – and you don’t know who to trust!
In the complexity of modern times, propaganda remains an ever-present phenomenon.
It can be found in various forms, from media articles and advertisements to political campaigns and social media.
The challenge lies in discerning which sources to trust and navigating the vast sea of information with critical thinking and vigilance.
Practical ways to spot propaganda involve being mindful of certain indicators.
Firstly, consider the presence of emotional manipulation, such as fear, anger, or excessive sentimentality, which can be used to evoke strong reactions and cloud judgment. Look out for cherry-picked evidence, where only selective information is presented to support a particular viewpoint, while opposing evidence is ignored or downplayed. Additionally, be cautious of sweeping generalizations and the use of loaded language that aims to influence opinions rather than provide objective information.
Maintaining a sense of mindfulness and skepticism is crucial in today’s media-saturated society. It is essential to question, fact-check, and seek out multiple perspectives before forming opinions or making decisions.
Critical thinking skills, such as analyzing sources, cross-referencing information, and consulting reputable experts, can help uncover the truth amidst the noise of propaganda.
By remaining vigilant and aware of the potential presence of propaganda, we empower ourselves to think independently and make informed choices. It is important to recognize that everyone has biases, including ourselves, and to approach information with an open mind.
Being mindful of our own beliefs and the influence of external messages allows us to navigate the complexities of the modern world with greater clarity and discernment.
In a world where misinformation and manipulation can shape perceptions and decisions, cultivating a critical and discerning mindset is vital.
By arming ourselves with knowledge, skepticism, and a commitment to truth-seeking, we can navigate the vast landscape of information and guard against the influence of propaganda, ensuring that our thoughts and actions are guided by our own judgment and values.
And I think this is an essential element to which I hope all cannabis enthusiasts can adapt – a never ending quest for truth. I know that by researching cannabis I uncovered so much shady stuff, it made me reevaluate my whole relationship with the authorities and reexamine my level of blind trust towards the government.
I encourage you all to question those you trust, and to truly put them to the test.
Think freely!

Ah yes, it’s that magical time of year again when Ganja Clause slides down the chimney to visit all the good little stoners. The lights are twinkling, the fire is crackling, and the sweet aroma of cannabis-infused treats fills the air. As someone who’s spent years experimenting with cannabis cuisine, I’ve learned that the holidays present the perfect opportunity to elevate traditional recipes to new heights.
To help make your holidaze more “dazey,” I’ve crafted five festive recipes that combine seasonal favorites with our favorite herb. These dishes aren’t just about getting high – they’re about creating memorable experiences and new traditions. But before we dive in, I need to emphasize something crucial: dosing is always important, and you should NEVER give these recipes to anyone without their explicit consent. While sharing is caring, tricking someone into consuming cannabis is not only unethical but potentially illegal. Always clearly label your infused treats and keep them safely away from children and unsuspecting guests.
With those important notes out of the way, let’s get into these magical recipes that will make your holiday season extra special.
Look, we all know eggnog is a holiday staple, but why not kick it up a notch? This cannabis-infused version will have you feeling jolly in no time. Just remember – this isn’t your grandma’s recipe (unless your grandma is really cool).
What You’ll Need:
-
4 cups milk (or non-dairy alternative if that’s your jam)
-
1 cup heavy cream (or coconut cream for you plant-based folks)
-
6 egg yolks (fresh is best, trust me)
-
1/2 cup sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
-
1 tbsp cannabis tincture or cannabis-infused syrup
The Magic Process:
-
Start by heating your milk and cream in a saucepan. You want it hot but not boiling – we’re making eggnog, not scrambled eggs.
-
In a separate bowl, whisk those egg yolks, sugar, and vanilla until they’re well combined and looking smooth.
-
Here’s the tricky part: slowly (and I mean SLOWLY) add the hot milk mixture to your egg mixture while whisking constantly. If you dump it all in at once, you’ll end up with sweet scrambled eggs, and nobody wants that.
-
Pour everything back into your saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
-
Remove from heat, stir in that nutmeg, and let it cool a bit before adding your cannabis tincture or syrup.
-
Chill thoroughly before serving.
Pro tip: Start with a small serving – this stuff can creep up on you!
Want to elevate your holiday meal? This gravy will take your feast to new heights. It’s perfect for drowning those mashed potatoes or smothering that turkey.
The Goods:
-
2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup cannabis butter (cannabutter)
-
1/2 tsp salt
-
1/4 tsp black pepper
-
1 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (thyme or rosemary work great)
The How-To:
-
Melt your cannabutter over medium heat in a saucepan. Watch it carefully – burnt butter is not the vibe we’re going for.
-
Whisk in the flour to create your roux. Cook it for about 1-2 minutes to get rid of that raw flour taste.
-
Now, slowly pour in your stock while whisking like your life depends on it. No lumps allowed!
-
Add your seasonings and herbs.
-
Keep stirring and simmering until it reaches your desired thickness.
-
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed (before you get too lifted).
Remember: Label this clearly! You don’t want Aunt Martha accidentally pouring this all over her plate without knowing what’s up.
Forget that canned stuff – this homemade cranberry sauce with a special twist will have everyone at the table asking for seconds (though you might want to limit them to just one serving).
The Ingredients:
Getting Saucy:
-
Toss your cranberries, OJ, and sugar into a saucepan over medium heat.
-
Let it cook until those cranberries start popping like tiny little fireworks (about 10 minutes).
-
Once it’s thickened up nicely, remove from heat.
-
Here comes the fun part – stir in your cannabis-infused honey or tincture.
-
Let it cool completely before serving.
Pro tip: Make two batches – one regular and one infused. Just make sure to label them clearly!
These aren’t your regular sweet potatoes – they’re elevated sweet potatoes. Perfect for getting baked while getting baked.
What You Need:
-
4 large sweet potatoes
-
1/2 cup cannabis butter (cannabutter)
-
1/4 cup brown sugar
-
1 tsp ground cinnamon
-
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
-
Salt to taste
-
Marshmallows (optional, but highly recommended)
The Method:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Bake those sweet potatoes until they’re tender (about an hour).
-
Once they’re cool enough to handle, peel and mash them up.
-
Mix in your cannabutter, brown sugar, and spices.
-
Transfer to a baking dish.
-
If you’re feeling extra, top with marshmallows.
-
Bake for another 20-30 minutes until everything’s golden brown and gorgeous.
Warning: These are dangerously delicious – pace yourself!
This warm, spicy cider will lift your spirits in more ways than one. Perfect for those chilly winter nights.
The Essentials:
The Process:
-
Pour your cider into a large pot.
-
Add your cinnamon sticks, cloves, and orange slices.
-
Heat until it just starts to bubble, then reduce to a simmer.
-
Add your cannabis-infused maple syrup (or add tincture to individual cups for controlled dosing).
-
Let everything mingle and get cozy for about 20 minutes.
-
Serve it up warm with an orange slice or cinnamon stick garnish.
Pro tip: Keep a non-infused batch warming for designated drivers and non-partaking guests.
Remember folks, the key to a successful Dankmas feast is clear labeling and careful dosing. Nothing ruins a holiday gathering quite like someone getting unexpectedly zooted. Happy cooking, and may your holidays be dank and delightful!
There you have it, folks – five unique ways to spice up your Dankmas traditions and make the season truly memorable. As someone who’s hosted many cannabis-friendly holiday gatherings, I can’t stress enough the importance of starting slow with these recipes. Edibles can take anywhere from 30 minutes to two hours to fully kick in, and you definitely don’t want to overdo it during family dinner. I strongly recommend doing a test run with different dosages before the big day to find your sweet spot.
What I love most about these recipes is that they offer a fantastic alternative for those looking to skip the traditional alcohol-heavy holiday celebrations. Cannabis provides a more natural way to unwind and connect with loved ones during this special time of year. Plus, you won’t have to worry about a hangover the next morning!
Remember to celebrate responsibly, be open about what’s infused and what isn’t, and most importantly, enjoy the magic of the season. Happy Dankmas to all, and to all a good height!

The Grinch Stole SAFE Banking from the Cannabis Industry This Christmas, Yet Again!
Published

The landscape of cannabis legislation in the United States has been a complex and evolving issue, particularly concerning banking regulations. As of December 2024, it has become official: the current Congress will not provide any protections for banks that serve state-legal marijuana businesses. This decision has significant implications for the cannabis industry, which continues to grow rapidly despite the lack of federal support. In this article, we will explore the reasons behind this decision, the implications for cannabis businesses, and the broader context of cannabis legalization in America.
The State of Cannabis Legalization
A Growing Industry
The cannabis industry has seen remarkable growth over the past decade. As of late 2024, 23 states and Washington D.C. have legalized recreational marijuana use, while 38 states allow medical marijuana. According to recent estimates, the legal cannabis market in the U.S. is projected to reach over $40 billion by 2025. This growth has been fueled by changing public perceptions of marijuana, increased advocacy for legalization, and significant tax revenues generated by state-legal cannabis sales.
The Banking Dilemma
Despite this rapid expansion, cannabis businesses face unique challenges, primarily due to their inability to access traditional banking services. Federal law classifies marijuana as a Schedule I controlled substance under the Controlled Substances Act. This classification creates a significant barrier for banks and financial institutions that wish to work with cannabis businesses, as they risk federal penalties for facilitating transactions related to an illegal substance.
As a result, many cannabis companies operate on a cash-only basis. This situation not only poses safety risks—such as increased theft and violence—but also limits these businesses’ ability to manage finances effectively, pay taxes electronically, and build credit histories.
Legislative Attempts at Reform
One of the most prominent legislative efforts aimed at addressing these banking issues is the Secure and Fair Enforcement (SAFE) Banking Act. First introduced in 2019, the SAFE Banking Act sought to provide protections for banks that serve legal cannabis businesses by preventing federal regulators from penalizing them for doing so.
The act garnered significant bipartisan support in both the House and Senate. In previous sessions of Congress, it passed multiple times in the House but faced hurdles in the Senate due to opposition from certain lawmakers who were concerned about broader implications of marijuana legalization.
In light of ongoing discussions about federal spending and budgetary priorities, advocates had hoped that some version of the SAFE Banking Act would be included in recent spending bills. However, during negotiations leading up to December 2024, a House committee led by Republicans removed any provisions related to marijuana banking protections from key spending legislation.
This decision reflects a broader trend within Congress where discussions around cannabis reform have become increasingly contentious. While there is still bipartisan support for certain aspects of cannabis legislation—particularly when it comes to medical use—more comprehensive reforms like banking protections have struggled to gain traction.
Implications for Cannabis Businesses
Continued Cash-Only Operations
The removal of banking protections means that many cannabis businesses will continue to operate primarily on a cash basis. This situation presents several challenges:
-
Safety Risks: Cash-only operations make cannabis dispensaries and cultivation facilities prime targets for theft and robber Employees often have to handle large amounts of cash daily, increasing their risk of violence.
-
Operational Inefficiencies: Without access to banking services, businesses cannot easily manage payroll or pay bills electronically. This inefficiency can lead to operational delays and increased costs.
Impact on Public Safety
Advocates argue that providing banking access would enhance public safety by reducing the amount of cash circulating within the community. By allowing cannabis businesses to deposit their earnings into banks, it would minimize the risks associated with cash transactions, making both employees and customers safer.
Moreover, having a transparent financial system would help law enforcement track illicit activities more effectively. Currently, without proper banking oversight, there are concerns that some cash-only operations may be involved in money laundering or other illegal activities.
Politics and Public Opinion
Changing Attitudes Toward Cannabis
Public opinion on marijuana legalization has shifted dramatically over recent years. According to various polls, a significant majority of Americans now support legalizing marijuana for both medical and recreational use. This shift has put pressure on lawmakers to address outdated federal policies regarding cannabis.
Despite this growing acceptance among the public, political divisions remain strong within Congress regarding how best to approach cannabis reform. Some lawmakers advocate for full legalization at the federal level, while others prefer a more cautious approach that prioritizes regulation over outright legalization.
The Role of Advocacy Groups
Advocacy groups play a crucial role in pushing for legislative change regarding cannabis banking protections. Organizations such as the National Cannabis Industry Association (NCIA) and Americans for Safe Access (ASA) have been vocal proponents of reforming banking laws to support state-legal cannabis businesses.
These groups have mobilized public support through campaigns highlighting the safety risks associated with cash-only operations and advocating for policies that promote financial inclusion for cannabis entrepreneurs.
Future Prospects for Cannabis Banking Reform
While current congressional efforts have stalled regarding marijuana banking protections, there are still potential avenues for reform:
-
Incremental Reforms: Rather than pursuing comprehensive federal legislation like the SAFE Banking Act all at once, lawmakers may consider incremental reforms that address specific issues related to banking access without fully legalizing marijuana at the federal level.
The Role of Public Awareness
As public awareness about the challenges faced by cannabis businesses grows, there may be increased pressure on lawmakers to act decisively on this issue. Continued advocacy efforts can help ensure that banking reform remains a priority on Congress’s agenda.
Conclusion
The decision by Congress not to include marijuana banking protections in its current spending bill underscores ongoing tensions surrounding cannabis legislation in America. While public opinion increasingly favors legalization and reform, political divisions continue to hinder progress on critical issues such as banking access for state-legal marijuana businesses.
As the industry continues to grow despite these challenges, stakeholders must remain vigilant in advocating for change while exploring alternative solutions at both state and federal levels. The future of cannabis banking reform remains uncertain; however, with continued advocacy and public support, there is hope that meaningful progress can be made in addressing these pressing issues facing one of America’s fastest-growing industries.

HHC vs. Delta 9: Differences & Similarities
Published

December 20, 2024By

Cannabis has so many compounds, and two that have been making the rounds lately are HHC and Delta 9 THC. They’re not the same thing, even though they’re both cannabinoids that interact with the body’s endocannabinoid system. Some people want a mild, steady experience, while others might be looking for something more intense. Understanding these two can help you figure out what’s right for you.
What Is HHC?
HHC, short for hexahydrocannabinol, is a hydrogenated version of THC. It’s not something you’d find naturally in large amounts in cannabis plants. Instead, it’s made through a process that adds hydrogen molecules to THC. The result? A more stable compound that’s less prone to breaking down when exposed to heat or UV light.
How HHC Is Made
Think of it like a science experiment. HHC is usually created in a lab by taking Delta 9 or Delta 8 THC and using hydrogenation—basically, combining it with hydrogen under pressure and in the presence of a catalyst. This process changes its structure while keeping its effects somewhat similar to THC.
Common Uses and Effects of HHC
People who use HHC say it’s somewhere between Delta 8 and Delta 9 in terms of effects. It’s often described as relaxing but without being overly sedative. You might feel a light buzz, reduced stress, or mild euphoria. Some even claim it helps with discomfort or improving sleep, but solid research is still catching up. Since it’s less potent than Delta 9, it’s often favored by those who want a manageable experience without the strong psychoactive punch.
If you’re interested in trying HHC and Delta 9 for yourself, check out their wide range of products at trycandycloud.com. They’ve got everything from gummies to disposable vapes, all crafted for a smooth experience.
What Is Delta 9 THC?
Delta 9 THC is the main psychoactive compound in cannabis. It’s the reason you feel “high” when you use weed. Chemically speaking, Delta 9 has a double bond in its ninth carbon chain, which plays a big role in how it interacts with your brain.
Natural Occurrence in Cannabis
This one is straightforward: Delta 9 is found in high concentrations in marijuana plants. It’s what most people think of when they hear “THC.” Unlike HHC, there’s no need for a lab process—it’s already there. Hemp plants, however, contain much lower levels of Delta 9 THC, which is why it’s primarily extracted from marijuana.
Common Uses and Effects of Delta 9 THC
The effects of Delta 9 are well-documented. Depending on the dose, you might feel euphoria, increased appetite, or deep relaxation. For medical users, it’s often used to manage chronic pain, nausea, and other conditions. It’s also been studied for its potential benefits in anxiety relief, though higher doses might have the opposite effect, causing paranoia. Delta 9 THC is versatile, but it’s not without its risks, particularly for new users or those sensitive to its psychoactive effects.
Key Differences Between HHC and Delta 9 THC
Chemical Structure and Composition
The main difference is in their structure. Delta 9 THC has that iconic double bond, while HHC’s hydrogenation makes it more stable. This difference might not mean much to the average person, but it’s why HHC is less likely to degrade over time.
Potency Levels
Delta 9 THC is generally more potent. HHC might require a higher dose to get a comparable effect, but some people prefer its lighter touch. Potency differences can also depend on the method of consumption, with edibles typically providing a stronger, longer-lasting effect compared to vaping or smoking.
Duration of Effects
Both last a few hours, but some users report that HHC’s effects fade more gradually. Delta 9, on the other hand, can have a sharper comedown. HHC’s gradual fade makes it appealing for those who want a smooth end to their experience.
Benefits and Drawbacks of HHC and Delta 9 THC
HHC: Pros and Cons
Pros:
- More stable, so it lasts longer on the shelf.
- Effects are milder, making it less overwhelming for beginners.
- Can be a functional option for daytime use.
Cons:
- Limited research, so we don’t know its full impact yet.
- Availability can be hit or miss depending on where you live.
- Legal gray area in many regions.
Delta 9 THC: Pros and Cons
Pros:
- Well-studied with established medical uses.
- Widely available in areas where cannabis is legal.
- Stronger effects make it ideal for experienced users or those with high tolerance.
Cons:
- Higher chance of side effects like anxiety.
- More likely to show up on drug tests.
- Shorter shelf life compared to HHC.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q. Is HHC safer than Delta 9 THC?
Not enough research exists to say definitively, but HHC’s milder effects might make it feel safer to some users.
Q. Will HHC or Delta 9 THC show up on a drug test?
Yes, both can potentially show up on a drug test, so use with caution if that’s a concern.
Q. Which one is better for recreational use?
That depends on your preferences. HHC is great for a mellow time, while Delta 9 is better if you’re looking for something more intense.
HHC vs. Delta 9: Choosing the Right One for You
The choice comes down to what you’re after. If you want a milder, more laid-back experience, HHC might be a good option. On the other hand, if you’re looking for something stronger or need it for medical reasons, Delta 9 is the way to go. It also depends on what’s legal and available where you are. And always consider your tolerance levels and experience before diving in. If you’re unsure, consult with a knowledgeable dispensary staff.
