Intro to Cannabis - with Dispensary Visit

Visiting a dispensary can be a daunting experience, especially for those seeking medicinal cannabis. It can be overwhelming when budtenders primarily cater to recreational users and are unable to provide any medical advice due to legal restrictions in Canada. It is also frustrating in that Canadian legalization prevents dispensaries from displaying the products themselves, other than accessories, so in many cases all you are looking at is lists and packaging.

In such situations, having a knowledgeable guide can make a world of difference. A guide can navigate through the dispensary, helping you find the right products that suit your specific needs and medical conditions. They can provide valuable insights, explain different strains and their effects, and answer any questions you may have regarding dosage or consumption methods. With a guide by your side, you can feel more at ease and confident in making informed decisions about your medicinal cannabis journey.

Investment: $279 (1 person) or $339 (2 people)
Time Commitment: 3 hours plus travel time to dispensary

Inclusions:

Your package starts with a 2-hour information session. In the summer it is preferred to meet in the park, as nature therapy is beneficial for our health and well-being, and you are learning about one of nature's medicines after all. If the weather does not cooperate or you prefer an indoor location, we will meet in a private room at The Regina Public Library - Regent Branch (George Bothwell Branch available upon request).

Please note this is not a "coaching" session. 2 hours is not enough time to go over everything you will need to know for our dispensary visit plus delve into your particular health concerns and fully educate you on everything there is to know about making cannabis a part of your healthcare routine. Instead, this particular session is meant to give you the basics you need to know to make informed decisions about purchasing cannabis. During the information session we will cover:

the different consumption methods (onset, effects, duration, pros and cons of each)
the different cannabinoids more commonly available (CBD, THC, CBDa, THCa, CBG, CBN) and what each is beneficial for
the difference between Indica, Sativa, and hybrid
a brief introduction to terpenes
dosing
how to read packaging
storage and handling
common accessories
choosing a good dispensary
risks and contraindications of cannabis use
ordering online from a medical dispensary
how to put everything together to decide what you want to purchase based on tastes, needs, and budget

After your information session, we will head to a local dispensary to put everything you have learned into action. I will be there to guide you, answer questions, help converse with the budtenders, and assist you with picking out products to buy*.
