Cannabis can spark creativity, ease stress, and more. But where do you start? With so many products and ways to consume, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed. Here’s what you need to know.

Weed, hash, edibles, oils—each has its own effects. Rule #1: start low, go slow. Different people react differently, so take it easy. Our budtenders at De Kade can help you pick the right strain and method.

How to use responsibly?

• Pick the right setting: Be somewhere safe and chill.

• Take it slow: One puff, one bite, then wait. Edibles take longer to kick in.

• Know your limits: Too much can lead to anxiety or discomfort.

Too high?

Relax: it’ll pass. Drink water, find a comfy spot and sleep it off. Next time? Less is more.

Key tips to remember:

• Start small: Don’t overdo it, especially with edibles.

• Choose your strain: Indica (relaxing) or Sativa (energizing)? Or a hybrid?

• Know your method: Smoking, vaping, edibles—each hits differently.

• Stay safe: No driving, no heavy machinery.
