What to expect from a consultation

A cannabis consultation at Juana's Garden is a free, relaxed conversation 15 minutes with our Certified Ganjier™, arranged in advance by email. We ask a few questions about your goals, preferences, and what you're looking for. You tell us as much or as little as you're comfortable sharing. We give you honest, expert recommendations and you decide what to do with them.

Tell us your goals

Looking to explore cannabis? Curious about different products? First time? We start by understanding your goals and what best fits your needs.

You decide

No pressure. No obligation. The recommendation is yours to act on or not.

Who Leads Your Consultation

Guided by a Certified Ganjier™

Your consultation is led by Cintia Lovo Arias — co-founder of Juana's Garden and one of the few hundred professionals worldwide to hold the Certified Ganjier™ designation from The Ganjier. The credential is modelled after master sommelier training in the wine world, covering cannabis cultivation, cannabinoid and terpene chemistry, sensory evaluation, and responsible consumption guidance — passing requires rigorous written examination and practical demonstration. For you, this means your consultation isn't a sales pitch. It's a genuine expert conversation from someone who has studied cannabis at a serious, scientific level and has no incentive to sell you something that isn't right for you.

You're trying cannabis for the first time

Faqs

Frequently asked questions about our consultation

Is the consultation really free?
Yes — completely free. There is no charge for the consultation and no purchase required. Our free consultation is available to all adults 21 and older who visit Juana’s Garden. We offer it because we believe informed cannabis consumers make better decisions — and because our Certified Ganjier™ credential exists to be used, not just displayed on the wall.
A standard consultation is approximately 15 minutes. If your questions are more complex or you want to explore several product types in depth, we’ll take the time needed. There’s no hard cutoff — we work at your pace.
Not for a consultation — because our Certified Ganjier™’s schedule is often full and set day to day, consultations are arranged in advance by email rather than offered on a walk-in basis. Email info@juanasgarden.net with a few times that work for you, and we’ll confirm a slot. Our shop itself is open to walk-ins every day from 10am–7pm if you’d like to browse or ask a quick question at the counter in the meantime.

No. The consultation is genuinely no-pressure. You’ll leave with honest recommendations — what you do with them is entirely up to you. Some people book a consultation, get their questions answered, and come back another day. That’s completely fine with us.

The Certified Ganjier™ is one of the most rigorous cannabis education credentials available. Developed by The Ganjier (ganjier.com), the programme is modelled after master sommelier training in the wine world — covering cannabis cultivation, cannabinoid and terpene chemistry, sensory evaluation, and responsible consumption guidance. Fewer than a few hundred professionals worldwide hold the full designation. Cintia Lovo Arias, co-founder of Juana’s Garden, is one of them.
Yes — and many people do. We can discuss how cannabis is commonly used for pain management, sleep, anxiety, and other conditions. We are not medical professionals and cannot diagnose, treat, or prescribe — but we can share what the research says and help you find products that align with what you’re looking to address. If you have specific medical conditions, we recommend discussing cannabis use with your healthcare provider as well.
Yes. What you share during your consultation stays between you and our team. We do not record or share consultation details. You control what you tell us — share as much or as little as you’re comfortable with.
No — the free consultation is available to all adults 21 and older, whether or not you’re an Amigos Rewards member. Members receive priority scheduling and some exclusive benefits, but membership is never required. You’re welcome regardless.
