As you know, there are a bunch of different ways to enjoy cannabis. You can smoke it, vape it, take tinctures, capsules, etc. There are even a multitude of different options within these categories. For example, there are a variety of different ways you can smoke it, including rolling it, or hitting a bong. If you are looking for something new, or you’re just wanting to find out a little bit more about the different ways you can take it, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s take a closer look at the different ways you can use cannabis and figure out which one works best for you.
Bubblers and Bongs
A bubbler is something of a mix between a bong and a pipe. A bubbler looks more like a pipe than it does a bong, but has water inside it. Some of the benefits of a bubbler include that it offers a smoother hit than smoking, which is less likely to make you cough. Bubblers have a mouthpiece, and a bowl, and often come with a carb, just like a more traditional pipe would. Bubblers have a fixed downstem, meaning that they can’t be removed and cleaned with ease. Bubblers typically come in a variety of different shapes, styles and sizes, including a glass hammer style bubbler, the classic “Sherlock” style, and even the style of a mini bong. One of the biggest benefits of smoking a bong is that it offers a super smooth hit. You also don’t get all of the nasties that come with smoking paper rollies filled with tobacco and other chemicals. They come in a variety of different shapes and sizes that suit your aesthetic.
Smoking and Vaping
Smoking is thought of as one of the easiest ways to use cannabis. Vaping is right up there, too, but is a pricier option. Most people like to mix their cannabis with tobacco because they believe that it will burn longer and more consistently this way. This isn’t the best idea. Tobacco products are filled with all sorts of unhealthy chemicals. This is why more and more people are making the shift to vaping. You have the excitement of choosing an array of different flavors that contain varying levels of THC for your enjoyment. If you want to keep things interesting flavor-wise, then this option is for you.
Dabbing
Dabbing is often referred to as a “cleaner” high. Budder is an alternative name for marijuana concentrate which is also called “dabs”, and works great because they deliver a lot more THC than other cannabis products do. In fact, it can be up to as much as 80 percent more than other products. It is still pretty new, so scientists are still busy conducting research about it. It is important that you buy good quality dabs. This ensures that they are only extracted from pure sources, have a certificate that proves this, and are therefore free of solvents, pesticides, harmful chemicals, and other residual chemicals from the extraction process.
Edibles
If you are worried about your lung health and don’t want to inhale any smoke or vapor then edibles might be the right thing for you. Edibles do tend to take quite a bit longer to kick in and take effect, which some people dislike. This is because they go into your digestive system and need to be absorbed into the bloodstream via digestion. This means that they tend to kick in later, but the effects tend to last a bit longer as it is absorbed slower and more gradually. This is a really exciting option as there are all sorts of different and delicious edible options. You can bake your cannabutter into anything, meaning that your grandma’s famous pie recipe could be turned into an extra special pie. You can also get already made edibles in the form of gummies, brownies, etc.
Tinctures
Tinctures are cannabis extracts that come in dropper form. You can add a few drops to your drinks, including your morning coffee. This means that you’ll get that wake-up kick, but it’ll keep you mellow. You can even place them directly under your tongue for a more instant result.
Topicals
Cannabis topicals are a different way to use cannabis. They are for people who want the therapeutic benefits of cannabis without having to experience the psychoactive effects. You can use it in the form of a patch, a cream, balms, or even patches to relieve pain and inflammation.
As you can see, there are all sorts of different ways to use cannabis. You can smoke it, put a few drops under your tongue, have a gummy, or even just apply a small amount to an area that is inflamed. Now that you know it’ll make things easier to choose the right one for you.
