Working at a pot shop comes with many perks. Along with getting a little free weed, we also get to learn the ins and outs of cannabis much faster than traditional users. With Leafly’s help, I’ve been able to become an experienced consumer after reading and watching most of their guide articles and educational videos.
One of the best articles I recommend people start off with is called The Leafly Starter Pack: A Comprehensive Guide to Recreational Cannabis. Reading through the table of contents you’ll find that the Seattle-based weed experts decided to cover a variety of recreational cannabis topics that are helpful to even the most seasoned of smokers.
Since the guide has so much information, I recommend skipping through to the 5 sections I’ve bolded below. I’ve also included many of the sections that really stood out.
- Cannabis strain recommendations for beginners and low-tolerance consumers.
- 5 basic questions answered.
- Sativa, indica and hybrid: what’s the difference between cannabis types?
- How to select the best quality cannabis.
- What makes a cannabis strain unique?
- What’s a cannabinoid and why does it matter?
- What’s a terpene?
- The complete list of cannabis delivery methods
- Smoke-free ways to consume cannabis.
- Everything you’ve wanted to know about edibles.
- What’s a cannabis concentrate?
- What is cannabis oil, shatter, and wax?
- What’s a cannabis topical?
- What is dabbing?
Veteran smokers should consider looking at the sections about terpenes and cannabinoids to help take their cannabis experiences to that ‘next level’.

All weed is different and no one visual guide is all encompassing. If you prefer a different view, a visual guide to cannabis quantities is available here.
Once you’ve become familiar with the ins and outs of cannabis and gone back through the entire guide for recreational cannabis, up next is Leafly’s guide for medical marijuana. Stay tuned for part 2 of our comprehensive guide to recreational cannabis in Washington state.
