It doesn’t matter whether you started weed when you were young or old, what matters is how you started it. And when talking about weed, age doesn’t count. What counts is experience. That said, there are certain weed habits that can spoil your experience as someone who’s new to cannabis. Hence, we have made this guide about the upsetting weed habits that you must avoid at all costs.

Let’s begin!

1. Expecting to Develop a Liking Immediately

You’re not in a movie. So, set your expectations right. You will most likely not like the taste from the first puff that you inhale. And if taste is something that really matters that much, then there are flavored weed strains that you can use. If you do not have access to them but still want to savor the euphoric feeling, deal with the fact that it won’t be as pleasant as you expected it to be towards the beginning.

2. Expecting to Handle the High and Hangover From the Beginning

One of the reasons that weed newcomers find smoking intimidating is that they believe the high and hangover will be just like they are in alcohol. But this isn’t true. Weed hits the mind and body in an entirely different way. Which is why its effects are different too. So, don’t expect that you’ll necessarily be able to handle it pretty well since the beginning.

For example, you might be a silent drinker, but weed might make you a chatter box. So, it’s better that you smoke with a friend who knows all your secrets.

3. Starting with Edibles Instead of Smoking

This is one of the biggest mistakes that you can commit as a weed virgin. Believe us, there’s no way that you can handle an edible from the first go. Wondering why? Then, here’s the reason.

• Edibles take time to kick in. They do not hit the bloodstream immediately. They have to be digested first. Which is why beginners do not know how much is too much or too low. The result? Overeating and relentless hangover.

4. Cooking Edibles Alone

It’s impossible to get even a simple weed recipe right in the first attempt. On top of it, if you try this stunt as a beginner, expect nothing but disappointment. Learn how to handle a smoke first and then switch to edibles. However, if it’s still edibles you want and that too the ones you cook on your own, do not do it alone. Always have someone experienced to guide you.

All in all, developing the taste and endurance for weed might be time consuming but the euphoria you get in the end is entirely worth it.
