CBD strains are often sedating – but otherwise have no psychoactive effect. THC strains can be both sedating and stimulating. If you decide to use cannabis flowers, decarboxylate your cannabis first, and generally use sativa for daytime and indica for the evening. Begin with small doses over the course of a day. Use the same dose and ratio for several days. Observe the effects and if necessary adjust the ratio or amount. Don’t overdo it. “Less is more” is often the case with cannabis therapeutics.

If you are new to (medical) cannabis there are some good products which must be explored carefully until one has more experience. Concentrates and edibles/medibles cause the most issues for folks without a lot of cannabis experience. Those new to cannabis often mistakenly believe edibles/medibles are safer than flower and the opposite in true.
Concentrates also require more care. If you are new to cannabis, the ability to use discreetly makes concentrates seem better, but are often too potent for new users. Concentrates also have a much higher cost per dose which partially explains why the industry promotes them.
Cannabis is a safe and forgiving medicine but be aware it can have side effects. Depending upon delivery method and individual tolerance, it can amplify anxiety and mood disorders. Other possible side effects are dry mouth, dizziness and faintness.
