Understanding THC and CBD
THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the primary psychoactive compound in cannabis, while CBD (cannabidiol) offers medicinal benefits without the high. Balancing these two is key to tailoring the experience for each customer.

Measuring Strength
Marijuana strength is often measured in percentages of THC. Higher percentages indicate a stronger psychoactive effect, while CBD levels can provide relief without intense psychoactivity.
Customer Preferences
Customers seeking relaxation may prefer strains with higher THC content, while those looking for medicinal benefits might opt for higher CBD levels. As a budtender, it's important to ask about their preferences and past experiences.

Special Considerations
Always consider the customer's tolerance and medical history. Some may be sensitive to the psychoactive effects of THC, so it's important to offer alternatives with lower THC content.
