Why you should try the cannabis variety packs from your weed dispensary

At one time, all consumers had to seek out either an illicit weed dispensary or a private black-market dealer to make a purchase, and it wasn’t uncommon to have no idea about any of the specifics surrounding the product. As long as the customer felt high after using the bud, it was considered to be a positive experience that could keep them coming back for more, but now that cannabis enthusiasts in Canada have access to the legal and regulated industry, all of that has changed for the better.

A visit to a legitimate weed dispensary provides new and exciting benefits never experienced before, including properly labeled strain, THC or CBD content, and some will even go so far as to reveal a complete terpene profile and list of expected effects. That is excellent news for cannabis consumers, but it can also lead to a false sense of security that keeps customers afraid to branch out and try something new once they find one that works.

One tactic that weed dispensary owners use to help customers to decide is the variety pack, which offers either a select few predetermined marijuana strains, or a large selection to choose a few from, and it’s catching on with consumers. So much, that we are here today to tell you exactly why you should check out this unique opportunity for yourself.

1. THC content only means so much

Reading too much into the cannabinoid content is a bad move, as it only tells a small portion of each weed strain’s story. The plants can produce such a vast variety of effects and sensations, and that can change dramatically from one person to the next, and while THC is the primary ingredients known for its euphoric effects, a higher measurement doesn’t always equate to a more intense experience.

The terpenes, terpenoids, cannabinoids, and other lesser-known elements all work together to provide the smell, taste, and ultimately the buzz from all weed strains, which is why you have to actually try them to know whether or not they might work for you.

2. More bang for your buck

Most experienced cannabis customers know that lower cost deals arise when you make bulk purchases of almost anything, and the same often holds true for cannabis. Since variety packs of flowers tend to include anywhere from 2 to 4 weed strains, they also average between ½ oz and 1 oz minimum, which brings the appeal of savings, but that’s not all.

Often a more expensive strain will be available in a low-cost variety pack to give consumers a taste, so rather than paying $60 for a single quarter, you’d end up paying $50 for the same one, and who doesn’t like to save money on better quality cannabis?

3. Less risk of being left disappointed

Upon purchasing only one kind of cannabis at a time, it leaves you incredibly limited if after you get home, try it, and don’t enjoy the way that it affects you. Unfortunately, the average weed dispensary doesn’t offer a guarantee of satisfaction, or a return on buds that have been partially consumed, which could leave you unmedicated and without a way to relax until you can afford or have the time to go get more.

Even if you can afford the loss, you don’t want to be left with anything, and since variety packs come with anywhere from 2 to 6 different weed strains, you can avoid that possibility for good while experiencing new and exotic types of cannabis with each and every single visit.

4. Build knowledge on the differences between weed strains

Have you ever bought some herb and looked it up either just before or just afterwards? If so, you aren’t alone, as the world now offers all that information at your fingertips. If you always buy the same kind of cannabis, then you will never have anything new to learn about, so why not pick up a well-priced multi-strain pack and head out on an educational venture into the history of the weed strains that you love the most.

If you do that long enough, then you will eventually build up your senses to the point where you are able to distinguish the different terpene profiles, strains, and sometimes even the effects of a plant without ever having to smoke it, which can make the process of finding the best weed strains a much easier feat in the future, while turning you into a more intuitive cannabis connoisseur.

5. Variety is the spice of life

Whether you buy weed online or in person, the experience should be a fun one that is exciting and interesting every time, and there is no better way to do that than to grab a few different weed strains at one time. There are so many different cannabinoids and terpenes alone in cannabis plants that there is no reason to stick to the same old boring routine. Try something new instead and invest in a multi-dimensional experience with weed dispensary variety packs.
