Introduction
While flower has its charms, the cannabis world at The Green Bean MI goes far beyond the bud. Edibles, concentrates, vapes — these alternative forms offer diverse experiences, effects, and conveniences. If you’re curious about trying something different, here’s your guide.
Edibles: Taste Meets Time
-
Onset & Duration: Usually slower onset (30–90 min), effects last longer.
-
Dosage: Important to look at milligrams; starting with 5–10 mg if you’re new is smart.
-
Varieties: Gummies, baked goods, chocolates, and more. The flavor options can make the experience fun.
Concentrates: Potency & Precision
-
Types: Live resin, shatter, wax, rosin, etc. Each has unique texture, flavor, and potency.
-
Use methods: Dab rig, vape pens / cartridges — know what fits your comfort and gear.
-
Why choose concentrates: Great if you want stronger effects in smaller amounts.
Vapes: Convenience & Discretion
-
Often smells less, easier to use on the go.
-
Cartridges can be pre-filled, making dosing more predictable.
-
Choose quality brands/devices to reduce risk of contamination or poor performance.
Matching Methods to Lifestyle
-
For busy schedules, vapes or tinctures might be more consistent.
-
For social settings, edibles or shared concentrates can be fun.
-
For therapeutic use (pain, sleep, anxiety), slower-release methods (edibles, tinctures) may be more helpful.
Tips to Shop Smart
-
Ask your budtender about lab-tested products.
-
Check packaging for accurate potency and health/safety info.
-
Consider flavor and smell if discretion matters.
-
Budget for potency — sometimes paying more per mg is worth it for cleaner, more consistent results.
