Roots RX Buyer’s Guide
Cannabis for Beginners & for the ExperiencedNavigating Cannabis: Your Friendly Guide for Every Explorer
Whether it’s your first dispensary visit or your fiftieth, buying cannabis should never feel overwhelming. At Roots Rx, we’re all about making it easy, educational, and enjoyable. Our budtenders love helping customers discover what works best for their body, lifestyle, and goals — no pressure, no jargon, and no gatekeeping.
Understanding Cannabis Basics
Let’s start with the fundamentals. Cannabis is a complex plant, but here’s what matters most for choosing what’s right for you.
- THC vs. CBD: THC is the psychoactive compound that delivers the “high,” while CBD is non-intoxicating and often used for relief, relaxation, or focus.
- Sativa, Indica, Hybrid: Sativas tend to energize and uplift. Indicas are more likely to relax and soothe. Hybrids combine traits for a balanced effect — or something in between.
- Terpenes: These are the aromatic oils that give cannabis its smell and flavor — and also shape how a product feels. Limonene can be mood-lifting. Myrcene might mellow you out. Think of them like the secret sauce behind each strain’s vibe.
Choosing Your Product
We carry a wide variety of high-quality options. Not sure what to pick? Let’s break it down.
- Flower: The classic, for smoking or vaping. Fast-acting, flavorful, and rich in terpenes. Choose by strain or effect.
- Edibles: Gummies, chocolates, beverages, and baked goods that deliver a longer, deeper high. Start with 2.5–5mg if you’re new, and wait before taking more.
- Vapes: Discreet and portable. Great for quick, clean hits on the go.
- Concentrates: Think dabs, wax, shatter, and live resin. High potency, intense flavor, fast onset — best for experienced consumers.
- Topicals: Balms, salves, and lotions designed for localized relief. No high — just relief where you need it.
- Tinctures: Sublingual drops offering precise dosing and easy onset. Perfect for microdosing or pairing with other products.
Finding the Right Experience
We recommend starting with a clear goal. Want to relax after a long day? Get into a creative flow? Manage pain or sleep better? Your answer helps us tailor suggestions that deliver the best outcome.
