Sacramento - Delivery or Traditional?

So I am getting back to the states (from the army) in 2 days, got my appointment all setup and everything for my PTSD and back, knee, among other problems. I am going to be living in Sacramento for a while so I am looking for some tips from anyone who is willing to offer.

Now mind you, I have never really smoked pot. So I dont really know what I am doing, what I want or need. I am not trying to get the best shit out there and go overboard the first time...if you can.

So can anyone offer me some advice on who to use.. is delivery the way to go or is it better to go into a traditional dispensary, and where can I got to get some good, decently priced product, and can anyone suggest some strains that might work best for a beginner with my medical problems?

Go to a dispensary and tell the budtenders your problem and that you're a novice. Ask for a recommendation on a strain and check it out. This will not always produce great results because some people don't know shit, but maybe someone could help you out. To me it sounds like you want a decently heavy Indica for your pain.

Two suggestions....see if you can make friends with someone that grows and get it directly from them...that way you're not getting charged crazy prices from dispensaries. Go for the heavy indica or a hybrid strain thats indica dominant. Should help with pain...and keep you relaxed so the ptsd isn't bothering you.

Welcome home and thank you for your service. I dont know the scene up north, but down here its really hit or miss on clubs and delivery services. I have a couple delivery services that I would easily recommend, and some that I would advise staying away from. Same with traditional clubs. You'll likely go through a couple sources before finding one you're happy with.

Edibles aren't a bad idea, they have a different effect than smoking (for me at least) including way more muscle relaxation and pain relief. And definitely stick to indicas or indica dominant hybrids until you're comfortable with the effects. It'll be better for the pain and any mental stuff goin on. Sativas can escalate ptsd, paranoia and anxiety, especially if you're newer to the effects. I love the active uppity high that they give but sometimes it just gets to be too much for me. Good luck

Only the ones in the county, plenty still operating in the city and surrounding counties. Op, you will need a doctors scrip before you can go into a dispensary

Thanks for all tips and support! cant wait to land back in the cali Budologist420 I might hit you up, my wife is from san jose and i lived there for a little bit so we travel there often. Thanks for the offer.

Welcome home and thank you for your service sir. I will have a package for you post harvest if you get in touch with me. It's the least I can do for you!

for a beginner I wouldn't always listen to the budtender a lot of the time they don't know shit. If I were you, I would start off with some to the cheapest stuff they have that doesn't look like garbage. You can always try the nicer stuff later but no point spending all the extra money if the bottom shelf stuff works.
I'm pretty close to sac. I've got a bunch of purple urkel tincture if you're interested (made with clear springs 190 proof grain alcohol) and if you decide you want to start growing I can give you some free clones. Welcome home presents!

im in the area and i hate how so many clubs got shut down.....im on my last straw with cc101 though....3 visits with them, 3 problems. first experience: clones had bad gnat infestation and some mites....next two experiences i bought 1/8ths and got 3.1g and 3.3g

**UPDATE
Hey everyone, well I'm home back in Sacramento after a 11 hour flight from Germany and a 7 hour drive from LA!
I got approved for my medical marijuana license from a place called cannmedical, staff was cool and doctor looked at my military records and I was out the door pretty quickly.
After that I decided to try PHP Wellness delivery service because they had good reviews and I ordered an 1/8th of sweet tooth which arrived rather promptly and was easy to complete.
So that pretty much ends my good first experience with marijuana lol.
So as my brother, who has years
More experience than me explained, I pretty much just did the equivalent of being a non drinker and taking 8 shots of vodka real quick.
I expected the "feeling" to happen more quickly so I suppose I did too much... Like 6 biiig bong rips withing a minute lol.
So there I was sitting outside when all the sudden the tingles started rushing through my body, my head started getting heavier and I thought my tongue was swelling up as it started to tingle which made me pretty nervous but I got through. Theeen my vision got crazy which was kinda cool when I look back, but my cell phone went like. IDE game 3d and looked zoomed in while my hands looked warped.
My body felt way too...vibrating? I guess it made me feel horrible and I had to just lay down and feel pretty awful, for some reason the bong scared me and I hid it in the closet so I couldn't see it lol.
My wife, had pretty much the opposite movie scene effect where she was having a great time and eating everything lol, but I guess it was a good thing because the only thing that. Ads me feel better was laughing which she helped me do, and by the time she put on Adventure Time I was feeling better.

After like an hour and half I started feeling the easier effects I was happy and relaxed and enjoying cartoons and eating fish crackers. This part was excellent for me and what I imagine a normal buzz might be like.

All in all I don't think the experienced ruined it for me, I just went overboard I guess but toward the end I really enjoyed myself and felt great.

My brother brought over a pipe and vaporizer for me which he suggested instead of the bong, and explained a little bit more on how to ease into it. I will probably try again this weekend with my brothers so they can kinda guide me through, but I'm excited to try again and hopefully just get the good part.


Anyways that my story

Moderation is the key.

Thanks for your service, hope things go well for you.
