The legal cannabis industry witnessed a massive boom during the COVID-19 pandemic. The government included it in the list of the essential services, while consumers derived immense benefits in the form of better sleep and pain and anxiety relief.
As the pandemic stretches longer than expected, the number of people jumping on the weed bandwagon continues to grow. But you need to understand that staying safe is your responsibility as a user. It is vital to know the cannabis etiquette you must follow amid the pandemic and adhere to it. Here is some advice that you must follow.
Prioritize home delivery
Even as vaccine rollouts are in full swing across the US, the risk of infection is still there. New strains and recurrent surges of the virus indicate that the pandemic is far from over. It makes sense to avoid outings and stay at home as much as possible.
Prioritize home delivery for stocking up your supplies. If you want to buy from a dispensary, opt for curbside pickup. Fortunately, most cannabis stores are giving both options to the customers because they want to keep the employees and buyers safe. Pick a reliable dispensary in your area and order online to stay safe.
Never share your stash and equipment
It is vital to stick to safety etiquette with every cannabis session. Buy quality products from a reputed store. If you plan to vape, make sure that you never share your equipment and accessories. You can pick a dime disposable pen to be extra-safe because you need not worry about refill or reuse. Have a good time with the high-potency THC product and dispose of it, so there’s hardly a chance of getting infected.
Edibles make a good option right now because you don’t have to worry about sharing. Stick to other virus safety rules if you have friends coming over for a session. Maintain a safe distance and use face covering to curb infection.
Avoid cannabis get-togethers
Although you may have a big gang of fellow users, it isn’t the best time to enjoy group sessions. Have only a couple of people around for your sessions, and you may even avoid company altogether. But it doesn’t mean that you cannot have a good time with your gang.
Arranging a virtual cannabis party with your group is a great idea. Thankfully, everyone is comfortable with the Zoom-call concept, and hosting a virtual party isn’t a big deal.
Just pick a time that works for everyone and send out invitations to join the party. Order your favorite products, have a playlist ready, and arrange plenty of snacks to beat the munchies, and you are all set for an incredible party.
Following these simple safety precautions can help you enjoy your cannabis without worrying about getting infected. Also, stay true to the basic rules of safe dosage.
Avoid trying a new product or going extra with your dose right now. The objective should be to get the best benefits from cannabis without exposing yourself to risks and complications.
