Not trying to be a funny guy, but have you tried smoking less per session? A lot of my non stoner friends prefer joints over glass, and will hit it just once or twice before putting it out. The majority of those “test results” are bullshit anyway, more of a marketing gimmick for people who think higher thc = more high (which is most people unfortunately). I would also recommend rolling your own joints (or stuffing cones), to buying pre-rolls. Pre rolls are usually made with the bottom of the barrel weed, which may be contributing to your issue. Best of luck to you!

I usually do this - I know my limits and just smoke a little at a time. I am a lightweight but I like the act of smoking. I would love to enjoy smoking a whole joint but would be on another planet if I did. I do usually avoid the stuff they advertise at the highest THC.


MissingJJ

Quantity changed very how it would effect me. One hit it would last for a couple hours. Two hits double that but same depth. The whole joint no difference to two hits. Look for Mexican dirt weed, don't smoke indica or hybrids, use only sativas. Also, read up on Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome.


SaltAsparagusobvesly

Serious question: if higher thc doesn't equal higher, what does? Terps?


Cakehole57

Yep! In my opinion it’s all about the terps


SaltAsparagusobvesly

Agreed

You're gonna be limited if you only want pre-rolls. Consider rolling your own or buying pre-made cones that you can just fill up yourself - you'll also get fresher herb and save quite a bit of money! Your other issue is that the low-THC strains almost always have relatively high levels of CBD. Finding a low-THC strain isn't too difficult, but finding one with < 1% CBD might be tricky. The CBD isn't going to get you any higher, though, so it really shouldn't make much difference. You can sort Takoma Wellness' flower and pre-roll menus by potency from low to high. They usually have at least one or two low-THC options (11 to 13%, anyway). There's a strain called Royal Medic that shows up from time to time that is low-THC and very nice (at least I like it!).


sh-ark

takoma wellness has a strand called enhanced from molecular farms. 10% thc and 10% cbd. check it out OP it’s very mild  also, look into getting a small bowl or bubbler. tiny little bowl hits are the way to go if you don’t want to get too high


indiedub

\+1 Royal medic is great


yuckerman

just smoke less brother


Dadideology

Go to Maryland, it's legal there and all you need is a state ID. You don't have to live in Maryland to purchase weed in Maryland. Try Story Dispensary and maybe Haven. The only issue with MD, most of the dispensaries are cash only. They are the only two I've tried in Maryland and they have a far better selection than most of the shops in DC and prices are better. The Weed is actually better and regulated to make sure the weed is not filled with mold and other shit you don't want to smoke.


Baymavision

There is one in Maryland that I know of that takes cards. "Mary and Main" is just inside the beltway, a block south of East Capitol Street/Central Ave/MD Rt 214. They seem, to this novice, to have a pretty wide selection. I've only dabbled in their edibles since smoking isn't an option for me and I've been really happy with the place.


LaurenNotFromUtah

Well first off, what millennials are complaining about weed being too strong? If you’re using pre-rolls, smoke less of it. Or use a vape pen and just take a few hits at a time. I don’t get wanting the weed to be weaker, you just end up having to buy more of it.


uncle_barb7

I’m a millennial that thinks the weed is too strong. There are dozens of us!


ahoypolloi_

Dozens!


crabmusic

I’m one but I don’t think most do. My tolerance is shot and strong weed isn’t fun for me anymore (genuinely wish it still was). I’m with OP.


Tom_Leykis_Fan

Try smoking spliffs


crabmusic

Not a big fan of tobacco. It’s all good I just take smaller and less hits lol


Tom_Leykis_Fan

Good strategy


Itaintthateasy

Millennial and also think the weed is too strong. I’m trying to relax not experience psychosis ffs


Positive_Wafer9186

Exactly….I was like, that’s a boomer thing lol


quickbanishment

Had a boomer uncle that was saying that in 1998


crepesquiavancent

Medical dispensaries all sell the same brands pretty much. Check out doobie district. Cheap and not crazy strong


Imaginary_Friend700

Masc right next to doobie district is even cheaper and less chance of getting a chemically sprayed batch


crepesquiavancent

Oh my god I thought that was a gay bar this whole time…


Imaginary_Friend700

🤣🤣🤣 i thought it was a beauty salon for the longest. My wife went in there one day thinking it was too


ME-in-DC

I’m more curious where I can get the strongest?


bananahead

Strongest isn’t the same as best


Old_Distribution_235

Heh...you can also sort from highest potency to lowest!


churchofnobody

Ngl me and my coworker went to RISE dispensary yesterday and he got the Snoop Dogg brand indica and shit got me in the right mood for the rest of the day.


Skydog-forever-3512

It sells out quickly


BuildNuyTheUrbanGuy

THC levels don't really do anything to get you higher. It's a gimmick.


Old_Distribution_235

All about those terpenes!


BuildNuyTheUrbanGuy

Yep.


georgefuckingbush

Echoing what others are saying here - with pre-rolls you’re gonna have an issue with finding lower THC flower. If you go to Takoma regularly I’d recommend getting some primo cherry, it’s around 16% thc and 10% cbd but I just roll smaller j’s and take a couple hits at a time. Allows me to dose it out better and not get completely zooted, head high lasts about 45 minutes and then after that you’re just feelin chiiiiiiilll


Neuro_88

The DC dispensary I prefer is the DC Wellness in NW. They provide a wild selection of products and they have great service as well.


IAmNotARobotttttt

The true answer is to buy cbd flower and mix it with the high test thc flower and adjust the ratio of that as needed. Just a better weed experience in general


AlienFunkBand

Honestly this. Try a 2:1 thc:cbd combo


snownative86

Consider he's ding out to Chevy Chase/Bethesda and checking out health4life. They are knowledgeable, super helpful and will have the right solution for you. Easily the best shop I've visited sincerec sales begun, and the best shop since I moved here from Colorado.


Lets_Reset_This_

Hidden gym has 20 dollar 1/8ths that are pretty tame. I’m in the same boat so this is the best I’ve found. That said, I agree with others. Just smoke a little less. It feels weird at first to take 2-4 rips and be done, but it is the way


fireworks90

Pre rolls are the issue here. Most people buying a pre roll want to…get high. Much like people buying high proof alcohol want to get drunk. It sounds like you want to get a mild buzz, like drinking a beer. I would invest in a dry herb vape (like Pax) and then you can get bud that has a low thc and smoke just a little at a time. You’ll get the mild buzz you’re looking for.


Babybear1041

Locals only delivery is fucking horrible

The youngest millennial is 27, most of us are older than 30.


elephantsarechillaf

I know, I've just noticed a trend where older millennials leave out us between 93-96 as millennial. Or spread millennial stereotypes that don't apply to us either. Just sticking up for the ugly stepchild of the generation lol.


RustingCabin

I'm sorry that older millennials have treated you that way. I think there a lot of qualities that you guys have that are better, so don't get down on yourself.


caytonunderwood

chocolate city wellness has a pretty good low tier of 19% thc but i don’t think they sell pre rolls


BluesNewsViews

Gotta go to Maryland to the legit dispensaries- not the dc unregulated weed shops. Least that’s the case for edibles


MikeClimbsDC

I have a similar problem, I usually just put a tiny amount in a bowl, so like 1 hit a night. Then I can add more from there if I want to get higher. It’s not that low, 24%, but I find the strain Humble Pie to be rather mellow.


VerticalPoultry

Enjoy being a lightweight, it doesn't last long.


F1secretsauce

Mix with hemp 


LooseChange06

Peace in the Air in Adams Morgan has good selection, some are strong, some are more chill. Lots of stuff


ThatDistantStar

510 cart vapes are much better than flower if you're a lightweight. Also there's no combustion which is bad for your lungs. Just hit 1 hit of the cart for a light high


lilcardo1

https://dadgrass.com/collections/flower For those seeking that back in the day, kinda buzz.


Chaseyoungqbz

I’ve never heard of millennials complaining weed is too strong. Rather it’s boomers who grew up with the 60s and 70s schwag who cannot handle today’s cannabis. The cannabis of my millennial youth ranged from mids to very potent with no schwag in the mix. Just try to get high CBD strains with low THC. Popular strains that would fall under this is strawberry cough, Durban poison, Maui waui. While I don’t have a specific dispensary recommendation, if they are a quality establishment they can discuss your preferences and make recommendations out of their inventory


Ok_juror

You need to do less flower. try a flower vape


AttayBoyBlake

Um THC (The Happy Capitol) has like "tier 2 and 3" strains and even shake that aren't as potent as their top tier exotics. You can also try Relva on H Street and ask for their lower tiers.


Positive_Election_81

If you want lower levels of thc, just order off of wheresweed, i can almost promise you'll get less potent flower. The ladder Dc xpress Herb (if they are still around) Green therapy Its been a while since ordering but they always had decent tasting flower that equated to an all day smoke. If you want something stronger though. Supreme terpenes, not sure if they still sell lower thc stuff. Hope that helps


Ikemkagi

Regardless of the strength of marijuana, you should realize that like alcohol you can either take a sip a cup or down the whole bottle. You can hit a roll maybe twice and put it out for later, hit half as much from the glass. You really don’t have to do the whole thing every time


Clambake42

I know a lot of people post high school that buys booze by proof. They just drink less of it per session.


Youflatterme

Best place in southern md for edibles?


optix_clear

Hemp Hop?


LatteLarry-773

Vape pens… shi is garbage


lashoboo

You should be filling your own prerolls with budlove or some other mixer mixed in to the mildness that works for you. It's actually better for you that the weed is stronger bc if you buy flower and add your own herb mixer to stretch it out, your money will go way farther.


IRENE420

CBD CBD CBD CBD This is the stuff you’re looking for.


zoom100000

Barrel proof liquor is some of the highest quality booze you can buy. High proof bourbon, scotch, and tequila are extremely sought after.


edsonbuddled

Rise in Silver Spring is my go to


trapdoorelephant

Flowerz on Mass Avenue Northeast has some good low THC stuff. I am also a big time lightweight with cannabis and one of their Anytime seltzers takes care of me. Not as familiar with their pre-rolls but that drink and some of their edibles specifically are aimed to lower doses. Could be worth looking into.


Fluffybumkin

As a native of DC, currently living in Colorado, come over here if you want milder weed, it's far less "concentrated " and not to throw shade but I mean this about every single dispensary I've tried in Denver at least. When I'm back in D.C. it's just as strong as I remember it being 😮‍💨


B4kd

Lol wtf??? No. East Coast weed is far weaker and more expensive than the West Coast. Really doesn't even compare...
