Beyond the Basics: Best Cannabis Products for Experienced Users in Minnesota
If you’ve been enjoying cannabis for a while, you probably already know the basics. You know the difference between flower and gummies, you’ve figured out some of your favorite strains and brands, and you have a pretty good idea of the experience you’re looking for when you walk into a dispensary.
So, what’s next?
For experienced cannabis consumers, shopping isn’t always about finding the product with the highest THC percentage. It’s about exploring different cannabinoids, terpene profiles, product formats, strains, and consumption methods to find products that deliver the experience you want.
At Go4 Cannabis in Lino Lakes, Minnesota, our selection includes options for both new and experienced cannabis consumers. If you’re ready to branch out from your usual purchase, here are a few cannabis products worth exploring.
Premium Cannabis Flower: Look Beyond THC
Experienced cannabis users often develop a greater appreciation for what separates one flower from another.
While THC percentage is an easy number to compare, potency is only one part of the equation. Terpenes, cannabinoids, genetics, freshness, cultivation methods, and cure can all contribute to the overall cannabis experience.
That means a flower with the highest THC level isn’t automatically going to be your favorite.
When shopping for cannabis flower in Minnesota, consider exploring different terpene profiles and cultivars rather than simply looking for the biggest number on the label.
You may discover that a lower-THC flower with a terpene profile you enjoy becomes your new favorite.
Our Go4 budtenders can help you compare premium cannabis flower, marijuana strains, THC levels, cannabinoids, and terpene profiles so you can make a more informed choice.
Cannabis Concentrates
If you’re an experienced cannabis consumer looking to explore something beyond traditional flower, cannabis concentrates offer another category to consider.
Concentrates are created by extracting desirable compounds from the cannabis plant, resulting in products that can contain significantly higher concentrations of cannabinoids than traditional flower.
Depending on availability, you may encounter products such as:
- Live resin
- Live rosin
- Wax
- Badder or budder
- Shatter
- Hash
- Vape concentrates
Different extraction methods can produce very different textures, flavors, aromas, and experiences.
Because concentrates can contain substantially more THC than cannabis flower, even experienced consumers should pay close attention to potency and serving size.
Live Resin and Live Rosin
You’ve probably seen the terms live resin and live rosin on dispensary menus, particularly when shopping for concentrates and cannabis vapes.
So, what’s the difference?
Both products are popular among experienced cannabis consumers who are interested in preserving more of the plant’s original characteristics.
Live resin is generally produced using solvents to extract cannabinoids and terpenes from fresh or frozen cannabis.
Live rosin uses a solventless extraction process involving heat and pressure. For consumers specifically looking for solventless cannabis products, rosin has become an increasingly popular option.
Rather than assuming one is better than the other, think about what matters most to you: flavor, aroma, potency, extraction method, convenience, or overall experience.
Cannabis Vapes for Experienced Users
Cannabis vape products are popular for a simple reason: convenience.
But experienced consumers may want to look beyond basic THC vape cartridges.
Depending on what’s available on the Go4 Cannabis menu, you may find vape products featuring different extraction methods, cannabinoid profiles, strains, and terpene formulations.
When comparing THC vape cartridges in Minnesota, look at more than potency. Consider whether the product contains distillate, live resin, live rosin, or another type of cannabis extract.
Understanding what’s actually inside the cartridge can make it easier to find products that match your preferences.
Edibles Aren’t Just Gummies Anymore
If you think cannabis edibles begin and end with gummies, it’s worth taking another look.
Today’s Minnesota cannabis edibles can offer different flavors, cannabinoid combinations, serving sizes, and formulations.
Experienced consumers may be especially interested in exploring products containing combinations of cannabinoids such as THC, CBD, CBG, and CBN.
Remember that edible cannabis can feel different from inhaled cannabis and generally takes longer to produce noticeable effects. More experience with cannabis doesn’t eliminate the importance of understanding serving size and giving an edible enough time before consuming more.
Explore Cannabinoids and Terpenes
One of the best ways to expand your cannabis knowledge is to stop thinking about cannabis solely in terms of indica, sativa, and THC percentage.
Cannabis contains numerous cannabinoids and aromatic compounds called terpenes.
Learning which cannabinoid and terpene profiles you prefer can help you make more intentional purchases, particularly when you’re comparing similar strains or products.
Instead of asking, “What’s the strongest thing you have?” try asking your budtender about the product’s cannabinoid profile, dominant terpenes, genetics, extraction method, and recommended serving size.
You might find something you would have overlooked based on THC percentage alone.
