What Are The Best Weed Strains For a Beginner?

What are the odds that you know someone who has tried cannabis before, had a bad experience and then swore that they would never attempt it again? You may have even gone through this experience. If that is the case, you shouldn’t be worried, as it happens to many people. Most novice cannabis users have had a less than pleasant first experience with the drug because they tried the wrong strain or the wrong product. They could have smoked a super indica-dominant strain, which made them feel self-conscious and anxious and unable to move. 

This blog post will discuss the best weed strains for beginners. If you are new to cannabis, you must take the time to learn about the different types of strains and products before you try them. This way, you can avoid having a negative first experience. 

When it comes to choosing the right cannabis strain for beginners, you want something that will be mellow and relaxing. You don’t want something that will make you feel anxious or paranoid. For this reason, we recommend indica-dominant strains. Indica strains are known for their calming and relaxing effects. 

However, if you want to give sativa-dominant cannabis a try as well, then that is fine too! Indica and sativa refer to different Cannabis genus plants for those who don’t know. Indica has a shorter flowering time than sativa, making it easier for growers because they can cultivate them indoors in colder climates. It also means there’s less risk for mould or fungus growth during cultivation. In contrast, Sativas have longer flowering times. Still, they tend to produce higher yields than their indica counterparts per plant grown outdoors due to their greater resistance to the environment.

Here is the list of the top 10 strains for beginners:
