Walking into a cannabis dispensary as a total newbie can be overwhelming. THC percentages, terpene profiles, sativa versus indica—it’s enough to make your head spin before you’ve even tried anything!
As your friendly neighbourhood dispensary in Ontario, we’re here to tell you it doesn’t have to be difficult. We’ve helped countless cannabis enthusiasts find the right strain, and now we’re sharing the top weed for beginners to match any vibe. Consider this the ultimate guide for new users to start their cannabis experience!
Meet the A-list strains of our dispensary. This list of popular weed for beginners keeps our first-timers coming back for more.
Fair warning: these pack a punch in flavour and psychoactive effects. It’s easy to accidentally have too much cannabis, and nobody wants to overdo it in their first session. Start with a low dose, go slow, and gradually increase with these crowd-pleasing cannabis strains to reduce the risk of possible side effects.
🍃Indica | THC: 27%
This indica-dominant strain isn’t exactly training wheels, but it’s one of the most requested by our first-time friends at True North. With its sweet-and-sour fruity punch and gentle body high despite the high THC content, Animal Rntz by Redecan delivers a bang for your buck that has our beginners feeling like cannabis connoisseurs from the first session. Perfect for a cozy evening and a chill smoking experience.
🍃Sativa | THC: 27% | CBD: 1%
Say hello to one of the best cannabis strains for beginners. With its high potency, this popular strain is definitely worth getting to know. Midnight M’Mosa is one of the rare, citrus-forward sativa strains cannabis enthusiasts all rave about. Like Animal Rntz, smoking this strain gives a mellow experience.
Like all the best strains, expect to feel relaxed and engaged, with the right euphoric effects to fuel a giggle or three. Best for social outings or a sunny afternoon!
🍃Indica | THC: 20% – 26% | CBD: 0.15%
When you consume cannabis for beginners, like I.C.C. (Ice Cream Cake) from Big Bag O Buds, you’re in for a sweet treat. This Indica strain is a cookies-based cultivar that can produce a mild body buzz with some delightful head-high action. Perfect for evenings when you want to trade your regular ice cream scoop for something more adventurous!
🍃Indica | THC: 27%
Floats like a butterfly, packs a sweet punch! This heavyweight weed for beginners brings sweet-and-sour notes with a pine twist that’ll have your taste buds doing a double take. Popular with our evening crowd, this potent powerhouse isn’t your typical starter strain—but when our beginners want to skip the tutorial level, this is their go-to pick!
Looking to Netflix and actually chill? These popular picks are like a cozy blanket in cannabis form. Whether you’re looking for potential effects that will help you relax after an overwhelming day of work, or planning the ultimate Sunday stress relief, these are the top strains of weed for beginners’ kick-back moments:
🍃Pro tip: Dim lights, comfy clothes, and your favourite snacks can make your relaxing cannabis experience even better. (Bonus points for having water nearby!)

Coffee, meet your new bestie! These are the best strains of weed for beginners looking for energizing effects and a good dose of mental clarity and creativity. Use these strains to power through creative projects, hit the gym, or tackle that to-do list with clarity and focus.
🍃Pro tip: Plan your activities before you smoke, not after. Whether it’s art, music, or hiking, having a game plan helps you make the most of your elevated energy.
When you’re heading to a social event or just hanging with friends, pre-rolled joints with balanced effects (read: high CBD) are all the rage and an essential in our beginner’s guide. Skip the rolling tutorials and start your cannabis journey the easy way—these best pre-rolls for beginners picks are ready when you are.
🍃Pro tip: Sharing is caring, but not your first time! Try your first pre-roll in a comfortable setting for a gentle introduction to the different effects, before diving into social sessions. Have everything you need—including snacks—ready, so you don’t have to stress if you feel sleepy and want to head to bed.
