What kinda weed should I get?

I've been smoking on and off for a long time now but it started really negatively impacting me about 2 years ago. Anyway, I almost completely quit cannabis about 2-3 months ago. I've had a couple binges since then where I'll smoke for three days straight with buddies, but it really exacerbates my social anxiety for whatever reason so smoking on the regular is just not healthy for me. But, I plan on taking a trip out to CO in the coming months and while I plan on abstaining until then, I'd like to smoke a bit while I'm there. Does anyone have suggestions as to what kind of strains I should try? I know my tolerance will be incredibly low by that point, and I'd rather not get my face blown off dabbing. I was thinking of asking for a really powerful indica. I've also heard there are some low thc, high cbd strains that are worth trying. Just looking for some suggestions and info for those more experienced

Any of the cheese strains. They're always quite sedating

Id recommend a hybrid. Might help with your social anxiety a bit.
Also, get one at around 20% potency. I find ideal for low tolerance.

Get a sativa dominant strain will feel like a stimulant rather then the regular cloudy couch lock lazy junk food eating sleepy buzz. With a sativa like green crack you get uplifted energized head high .

Yea, don't let anyone talk you into taking a dab ....for one with no tolerance and prone to some anxiety from the herb, that'd be a panic/anxiety attack in an instant (and/or very deep sleep). I say the same in regards to edibles, stay away from em' .
Some strains that I personally find to melt away anxious feels, I mean almost every strain of the herb will relax me to a certain extent but there are just a few strains that I've had over the years that have a distinct anti-anxiety aspect to them...
I smoked some "Sunset Sherbet" recently and fell in love with it, it's the first thing that comes to mind that I'd recommend. It has a pronounced mood lift and anxiety melting buzz to it. I also found it to be rather clear headed and functional. It was all around a superb clear, calm, and cozy high. Made me feel giggly and up-lifted just like my early days of smoking.
If I remember correctly, LA confidential was another strain that eased anxiety for me (though it was a rather potent smoke, not so clear and mellow as the sunset sherbet).
Grand Daddy Purple is the epitome of mellow....though it usually lacks a certain something in the buzz for me, it's a great sleepy mellow strain. Usually damn tasty too.
Bubba Kush can be mellow and easy going.
Look into some CBD rich strains such as AC/DC , there's a lot more out there these days . A CBD rich strain sounds like exactly what you're looking for, but don't turn down the chance to smoke on some other varieties.
And when having a low tolerance, any strain, even the most mellow, could very well annihilate you...

yea man, I've been there before where someone kinda pressured me into dabbing and it FUCKED ME UP. No joke, I probably would have been more functional had I eaten 3.5g of mushrooms lol. For whatever reason I handle traditional psychedelics much better than I handle weed, go figure
But cool, thanks for all the info. I'll definitely look into trying a high CBD strain but that sunset sherbert sounds fantastic. Last time I was in CO I tried something called Blue Gum, a powerful indica, enjoyed that very much. I've still yet to try a powerful sativa but I'll keep on the look out. I think in the end, I'm gonna just have to moderate how much I smoke regardless of the strain. I'll buy a cheap bowl and just take a few puffs every few minutes till I get to where I wanna be

I think in the end, I'm gonna just have to moderate how much I smoke regardless of the strain. I'll buy a cheap bowl and just take a few puffs every few minutes till I get to where I wanna be
Yea, moderation is key ....I think that's where some people with low tolerance/prone to anxiety from the herb go wrong, they start off with a few tokes too many and before they know it they're out of their gourd. Happend to some chick I know, some folks/friends of hers suggested she give cannabis a try for sleep and other issues she has, well she ended up smoking a bowl and that was way too much for her with no tolerance (long story short, she ended up going to the hospital because of severe anxiety)...I ended up telling her she should have started off with just a single toke, a piece of bud literally no bigger then the size of a pea, then wait some 20 to 30 minute or so before deciding to take another.
I've been smoking daily for a decade or so now and I still only take one to three small rips off my pipe every hour or so in the evening/night and that's plenty for me (that's not to say I don't ever toke up larger amounts or dab out).
But one single good toke, with no tolerance, would be plenty enough for me to get really stoned.
You mentioning "Blue Gum" reminded me, Blue Dream is another well rounded & mellow strain I'd suggest.
Pure or sativa dominant strains can be really clear headed and uplifting, but I say there's also a lot more potential for one to have anxiety/racing thoughts from a sativa.. Some folks get more anxiety from sativas, while some folks get more of that from indicas...Green crack in particular makes my mind race and think A LOT! I had this strain for a while recently and smoking it before bed was terrible, I just laid around thinking non-stop, it was very difficult to turn off my mind/thoughts. But during the day time, I found green crack to be a terrific motivating & social day time smoke.
And I can kinda relate to what you said about handling psychedelics better then cannabis...even though I've been smoking daily for many years now (only small amounts, about 0.1g to 0.3g a day), generally speaking I've had more anxiety/paranoia and uneasy feels from cannabis then I have from classic psychedelics....5 or 6 years ago I was hanging with friends that smoked a lot more than I prefer to, but I would still take a toke off any joint/pipe/bong passed my way back then, around that time is when I had a lot of anxious feels and feeling of edge because of the herb.
These days, I have no problem "just saying no" ....I've learned what amounts I like to smoke and stick to it, there's only a few occasions/situations where I'm down to and like to smoke a lot (coming down from a trip or mdma, when I'm sick, when I can't sleep, when I'm out camping, etc...)
I actually like having the tolerance that I do, I like being able to smoke and remain pretty functional & not couch-locked or out of my gourd/tripping . But it's low enough that I can still get really high pretty easily.

I wouldn't necessarily say this. Edibles can be a really chill and fun high and has great antidepressant and anti anxiety effects. That is if you're keeping the dosage tolerable.

I hear ya on that and I actually agree to a certain extent...
...I was just saying that mostly because the dude mentions he has low/no tolerance and is kinda prone to anxiety from the herb, and dialing in the right dosage or getting to that "ideal level" of being high with edibles can be tricky sometimes if one has no tolerace, along with the relatively slow on set & what not.
But yea, edibles can certainly bring about a tranquil & relaxing stone at the right amounts....I also find edibles to generally be more psychedelic/dissociating then smoked cannabis is, at least in regards to larger amounts.
A low dose edible could be a proper chill time though .

Purple Kush is always a good sedating strain also Afghan Kush can give you a nice couch lock too

yep dosing it or finding the dosage that works for you can be tricky but when you get it locked in it's pretty sweet.
I would say eating is more on the psychedelic side and smoking is more on the dissociative side honestly. I tend to get derealization and depersonalization more with smoked cannabis. Generally more anxiety too.

OP, maybe discuss it with the folks at the dispensary? Someone there can probably help you get something suitable for you.

I may be overlapping some of what's been said but:
Folks at the dispensary will be good guides (hopefully)
I'd stray away from Indica dominant strains, I prefer those kinds of strains for sleep if anything.
I agree that dabs give me a more functional high, I think it's due to having less of the cannabinoid spectrum present but don't quote me on that.
Stativa's would be my go-to.
Some of the tastiest strains I've tried have had lower THC counts, <14-16%, maybe something to keep in mind.
Stray away from edibles unless you're trying to get zonked. lol

It's too bad how I only know the names the growers call shit. Before the strain name becomes so fucking bomb.
I would enjoy the less speedy and ultra high potency stuff. Heady indica is my fav. A hybrid that has mostly indica traits is my thing which is opposite of so many people.
"stay away from indicas" - so you get a clearer and fruitier high and less stoned?
Fuck that shit. The best weed is a hybrid. Indicas are gods medicine. Mix them with tropical weed you got the best of the best.
g-13 bitches. Get you some of that high potency indica dominant.
Makes me think of how the weed in west mexico was. It was like speed. I prefer to not have an anxiety attack from only a few joints, getting lost in the jungle. Wishing my weed was less potent and heavily indica. Good for hiking and not freaking out on acid, kind of thing.

Yes they're medicine but if you're a normal human being you shouldn't need "medicine" regularly and you shouldn't need to "medicate" yourself over and over again, some of us like to get HIGH and so we look to sativas for more of a recreational fun/drug experience rather than an herbal remedy or medicine. I'm not sitting at home medicating with a broken leg I'm out hiking trying to feel up and high while enjoying the mild novelty enhancement from the THCV.
Also G13s a tricky one because I almost don't even consider that one indica because it has such a unique and crazy head high. That is if it's the real G-13.

I see XJ-13 more often than its parent strain.
I agree AuroraBorealis88, plus the OP seems to be looking for a more recreational high, not a couching melting slumpfest especially given a low tolerance. Indica's have their time and place in my opinion. Can't go strong with a nice hybrid or Sativa strain.

for medicine ie body pain (multiple broken bones and two surgeries) i prefer something that is gonna be more indica dominate, however we grow for yield so some sativa traits are nice. The pre 98 bubba kush is nice, so are her grandaughters, hillbilly hobby (60/40 i/s fat smelly dank buds with a sweet taste) and my personal favorite, mija kush (molokai kush x pre 98 bubba / exodus cheese x exodus cheese fat sticky pink purple and white buds) If i want something for my stomach problems or to have a low stone high all day with minimal redosing (ie saving weed/smoke less often) i want a sativa. The 100% sativa grapefruit is my personal favorite based on yield (2 elbows/ plant) taste (sweet tangy grapefruit) and sativa ness of the strain (cant really get any more sativa than 100%)

First of all, it helps some people to medicate themselves over and over again. It helps them enjoy their day. In cases of extreme pain or epilepsy issues, it does help immensely to smoke every day.
I have not smoked weed in a year. Almost exactly a year. And people shouldn't only be using weed as medicine, so I don't know what the hell you are talking about really. Except yuck.

But you are right about "real g-13", even if you have not had any before.
It is very very fruity and amazing. So full of everything good that I don't care much what it is aside from it being what seems to me to be some of the most medicinal weed I ever smoked. Growers make fun of the name but they don't know what else to call it because the name has been handed down so many times and the source is not government, and unclear really. They might have just called it "best shit ever".
As far as medicine goes headband is up there. You need a plant that has shitloads of all the good chemicals. Unreal portions of those chemicals in some cases like with g-13 and headband, depending on the growers methods. I like it all to be outdoor too. So that's also something I don't agree on with everyone.

I have not tried enough good indoor probably.
I feel like nature makes it a bit less potent usually but makes way for other good things to happen to the herb. I bet they can maximize certain aspects of pot in such a controlled indoor environment. I bet they can make it stronger than for example, some super strong outdoor headband. The shit is just stupid strong to begin with, and so heavily medicinal. No matter your reason for smoking super strong weed, there is something about outdoor weed. Even the stuff that has turned weird colors with the coming of fall. I just love what nature does to weed. It's certainly not stronger though.

Did you not understand my point?
I said some people don't need to medicate themselves over and over again so your response makes zero sense. When I said that that even implies that more people probably use it medicinally and yet you somehow misinterpreted it the other way around? I'm sure the vast majority of people who use cannabis do so for medicinal reasons even if it's just to fall asleep at night but I'm talking about the few of us who don't. It's like you completely flip-flopped what I said.

Many people use weed exclusively as a medicine so it isn't really our place to be telling anyone what they should or shouldn't be doing with it. If you use weed for reasons other than it being a medicine for example just for recreation or being outdoors why would someone choose indica? Can you tell me that?
Because that's the part I don't get. Weed is already sedating enough, why make it even more sedative? Especially when you may have things to do or places you want to go?

My opinion about natural outdoor weed stands alone. I have absolutely no reason to explain it further to you, as you ironically seem to have missed my point. I got what you were saying.

I wasn't making any kind of remarks about outdoor grown weed I was simply pointing out the MASSIVE misinterpretation you made of my earlier post that made no sense and once again this next response of yours doesn't make a lick of sense either.'
My point was that some of us want a recreational high not so much a daily medicine and you came out me like a trooper declaring some use it medicinally and need it everyday which is what I clearly already stated. I was trying to make clear that there's a contrast between people who do and don't want to use it everyday because earlier you were making it seem like there's no reason to even use sativa because indica is "god's medicine" and not all of us need constant medicine. You weren't thinking about rest of the population pal.
Are you stoned right now?
