Which Is the Best Way to Take Cannabis?

Cannabis is now seen as a magical substance for its therapeutic properties. People from different parts of the world take its forms, especially CBD, to get relief from different medical conditions, such as anxiety disorders, chronic pain, and even cancer. Since more and more people have started acknowledging its medical benefits, people are wondering about the most effective way to take cannabis. 

From smoking and vaping to edibles and topicals – there are different ways to consume marijuana.

In this blog post, we will be discussing the most popular ways to consume cannabis and which is the most effective one. 

Smoking & Vaping 

Smoking is the oldest form of taking marijuana while vaping is a relatively newer concept. Smoking cannabis involves burning the flower and inhaling the active compounds of the plant. 

However, during vaping, the flower is not burned, but it is heated to a temperature at which the active components in the plant are released as vapors, which one can inhale. Flowers generally contain 5-20% THC or tetrahydrocannabinol, while concentrated oils contain up to 80% THC. 

And this can be pretty overwhelming for a new user. So, if you plan to smoke or vape cannabis, make sure to take a controlled dosage. 

Edibles 

Edibles have to be the most convenient way of taking cannabis. These include gummies, candies, chocolates, cookies, lollipops, baked foods, and beverages. Among all of these, the most selling edible is gummies, thanks to their delicious taste and carrying convenience. 

Americans prefer CBD gummies, THC gummies, and THCP Gummies to get relief from stress, muscle tension, and exhaustion. These are especially popular among the older generation for pain relief. 


Oils and Tinctures

Oils and tinctures are sublingual forms of cannabis. Tinctures come in bottles with droppers, and you’re supposed to take a few drops sublingually (through the tongue and better absorption and faster results). 


Cannabis oil is regarded as the most effective remedy for people suffering from severe medical conditions, such as chronic pain, arthritis, epilepsy, and cancer. You can also mix cannabis oil in your drinks to avoid its nasty taste while getting its therapeutic benefits


Topicals 

Topicals are a relatively new form of cannabis and are gaining traction in the cannabis market. These are applied directly on the skin and come in the form of lotions, creams, and salves. 

Topicals are generally used to relieve pain and inflammation in the local area without the cerebral effects of cannabis. 


The Bottom Line 

Now, which is the best way to take cannabis? Honestly, there’s no one method that can be deemed as ‘best’. Different methods work differently for different people. It depends on a lot of factors, including potency, age, tolerance level, and health condition. 

So, to know which method is best for you, it is advised that you try each one of them and see what works for you. Besides, make sure to keep an eye on your dosage, especially if you’re a newbie in this world.

 Too much cannabis consumption can lead to severe side effects, which might become hard to manage. Hence, try to consume cannabis with your friends who are regular users.
