Keep in mind that the effects of cannabis can vary depending on the method of consumption, dosage, and individual factors such as tolerance and metabolism. It’s important to start with a low dose and go slow, especially if you’re new to cannabis.
Smoking: This is the most traditional and popular way to consume cannabis. It involves inhaling the smoke from burning cannabis flowers or concentrates.
Vaporizing: This method involves heating cannabis flowers or concentrates to a temperature that releases the active compounds without burning them. Vaporizers are available in a variety of sizes and styles, from desktop models to portable pens.
Edibles: Cannabis-infused food and beverages are a discreet and tasty way to consume cannabis. They can range from homemade brownies and cookies to professionally manufactured gummies, chocolates, and drinks.
Capsules: Capsules are easy to dose and consume and can provide the long-lasting effects of an edible without the extra calories or sugar.
Tinctures: Tinctures are liquid extracts of cannabis that can be taken sublingually (under the tongue), added to food or drinks, or used topically. They are easy to dose and provide a fast onset of effects.
Topicals: Cannabis-infused lotions, balms, and oils can be applied directly to the skin for localized relief of pain, inflammation, and other conditions. They do not produce psychoactive effects.
Dabbing: This method involves heating a concentrated form of cannabis (such as wax or shatter) with a specialized device and inhaling the resulting vapor. It is a potent method of consumption that requires specialized equipment.
