I was still a novice when I smoked Blue Dream for the first time, meaning I had a very low tolerance when I tried this. I got a heady buzz going for about an hour or two before the few hits I had wore off. Generally I handled it okay, though it was a bit anxiety-inducing for me. I wouldn't recommend this strain for a first session, but it's fun with more experience and knowing what to expect. The more I tried the more I grew to appreciate this strain.
