Cannabis affects everyone differently, and knowing what to expect matters more than what strain you pick. This page is here so you can make an informed choice. Our staff are also trained to talk you through it in person.
Ask a staff member for a mild strain and start slowly. If you're smoking, wait a few minutes between puffs before having more. If you're trying an edible, start with a small amount and wait at least an hour. Edibles take longer to take effect, and it's easy to underestimate them.
Cannabis can bring on relaxation, a lifted mood, and appetite changes, but it can also affect coordination, memory, focus and reaction time. Effects vary with your mood, your surroundings, and who you're with. A calm setting with people you trust makes for a better experience.
Never drive or operate machinery after using cannabis. If you have a history of anxiety, panic attacks, or psychosis, talk to a doctor before use, since cannabis can intensify these conditions.
If you're concerned about your own use or someone else's, Jellinek offers free, confidential advice and a self assessment tool for cannabis use in the Netherlands. Our staff can also point you in the right direction, just ask.
