First-Time at a Dispensary? No Stress.
We get it: Walking into a dispensary for the first time can feel a little intimidating. There’s a lot of new terminology and more products than you expected. But don’t worry! Our friendly budtenders love helping beginners.
This guide breaks down everything you need to know– from how to shop for weed to the best weed strains for beginners– so you can feel confident with your first cannabis purchase.
What’s the Best Weed for Beginners to Buy at a MO Dispensary?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer, but most first-time cannabis consumers in Missouri start with one of these three beginner-friendly options:
- Smoking cannabis flower
- Enjoying low-dose edibles
- Trying a beginner vape
Let’s break each one down.
Best Weed Strains for Beginners (Flower & Pre-Rolls)
If you’re interested in the traditional smoking experience, start with cannabis flower. To smoke flower, you’ll need:
- Cannabis buds (ask your budtender for one of the best weed strains for beginners)
- A simple pipe
- A lighter (and maybe a grinder)
Wondering which strain to choose? When it comes to the best weed for beginners, a balanced hybrid strain is often the safest and most enjoyable place to start. Hybrid strains offer a blend of relaxing and uplifting effects without being too intense in either direction.
Popular beginner-friendly strains at From The Earth Missouri dispensaries include:
- Ghost OG – Indica-dominant hybrid known for its earthy, citrusy flavor & relaxing effects.
- Bruce Banner – Sativa-leaning hybrid with sweet, diesel flavor and energetic effects.
Pro Tip: If you don’t want to fuss with grinding and packing, grab some pre-rolls!
The best pre-roll for beginners is a small, low-dose option. Check out Illicit Smokos, which are just half a gram per joint– perfect for sharing or for easing into your first smoke session. Popular beginner strains in Smokos include Dawg Lemons and Animal Star Cookies.

Best Edibles for Beginners
Not into smoking? Edibles are a fun, flavorful way to try cannabis without inhaling anything.
Some great edible options for beginners available at From The Earth Missouri locations:
- Illicit Hybrid Gummies – Tangy, flavorful, and easy to dose. Popular flavors include Slaughtermelon, Fruit Punch’d, and Super Sour Tangie—perfect for first-timers looking for a fruity, approachable experience.
- Illicit Gemstones – These small, jewel-toned candies are packed with flavor and come in lower-dose options ideal for beginners. Each piece offers a sweet, manageable introduction to edibles without overwhelming effects.
- Illicit Caramels – Smooth, creamy, and infused with a carefully measured dose of THC, Illicit Caramels are a delicious way to try cannabis edibles. Their rich flavor and low-dose format make them a top pick for people new to weed.
No matter which edible you choose, start low and go slow. We recommend beginning with 2.5 mg to 5 mg of THC and waiting at least 90 minutes before deciding if you need more.

Best Cannabis Concentrates for Beginners: Start with a Vape
If you’re curious about concentrates but don’t want to jump straight into dabs (we don’t recommend it for beginners), vaping is your best bet.
Cannabis vape carts and disposables contain THC-rich oil that delivers fast effects with less odor and harshness than smoking flower.
Beginner-friendly vape picks at From The Earth dispensaries in Missouri include:
- Illicit Classy Carts – Try pure THC distillate flavors like Razzmatazz or Cake Baby
- Disposable Vapes – Full spectrum options like the Illicit Monopoly Melt in Bruce Banner or Strawberries & Cream are easy to use with no charging or buttons– just inhale and enjoy.
Vapes are discreet, beginner-friendly, and a nice middle ground between smoking and edibles.
