In the case of consuming cannabis, there are more choices than you ever had before. This makes it difficult to decide on the “best” method of consumption in particular, as new ways to take in weed have been being developed every single day.
Smoking is one of the oldest practices. However, vaporizers are now becoming quite well-known. In terms of edibles you can now take advantage of almost any food that we like with THC, CBD, CBG or CBN in the mix. Additionally, there are oils sprays, oils and much, even more.
Let’s begin with the most well-known method to consume marijuana: by inhaling.
Inhalants
Smoking inhalation (smoking) is by far the most well-known method of cannabis consumption available on the market. It’s also the most efficient method to introduce the adored THC into your system. Since the cannabinoids enter the body via your respiratory system, they’re absorbed directly into the bloodstream.
In addition, because blood flow is at approximately 3-4 miles an hour (yes you read it right between three and four miles) when the THC enters the circulatory system, it just takes a few minutes to get to the brain.
In an study carried outby in the Journal of Chemistry and Biodiversity the subjects who inhaled cannabis felt the effects of cannabis in just 15 minutes. This is quicker than any other methods mentioned on this list.
While smoking is the most convenient method of getting high however, it’s also one of the most harmful to the lung. If you remove the carboxylate (burn) weed in order to smoke it, you obtain other plants and substances that contain cannabinoids. These chemicals can cause adverse effects for the delicate lung tissue.
When you consider it, smoking weed is like fast food. It’s fast and gets the job completed, but it can slow your jog. What’s the reason to smoke?
As you’ll see in the following, smoking your cannabis lets you more precisely control and monitor the quantity of cannabis you consume. This reduces the chance that you’ll indulge in a frenzied way and end up getting “too high.” Let’s take a look at the different options to smoke.
Joints
Joints may be the most well-known of cannabis delivery methods. They’ve even made it into the “mainstream” with stoner classics such as Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke, Dazed and Confused along with the Big Lebowski.
Certain smokers (especially in Europe where smoking cigarettes is more popular) prefer to fill your joints up with a mixture of cannabis and tobacco for an additional heady buzz. Whatever way you choose, just one hit of an e-cigarette and you’ll feel it immediately.
Blunts
Blunts are like joints in numerous ways, but they are made with cigar papers, not rolling papers or cigarettes. Additionally, blunts are typically thicker and contain more marijuana, making them more potent as opposed to the thin and smaller joint.
A large portion of users of cannabis favor blunts because they’ve been in style for a number of years. People also appreciate the “old style” method of smoking something stronger and easier to hold. Take into consideration that famous personalities like Snoop Lion as well as Wiz Khalifa are adamant about this type of smoking and it’s easy to understand why blunts are rapidly increasing in popularity over the less robust, smaller joints.
Pipes And Bowls
As compared to joints, pipes and bowls, they are a faster and simpler method to meet Mary Jane. There’s no long, tedious rolling that demands only the fingers of a 10-year-old girl and the shrewdness of a watchmaker in the 1800s. You just need to put in some marijuana and light it up, and you’re set to go.
The process of getting your ganja into pipes or bowls is just as effective as going by using a joint or blunt, although it may not be as tasty because there’s no paper to help smooth the taste.
In terms of ease and speed, bowls usually require a light for every hit. This can be a great option when you wish to keep a portion of the bowl to use later on, but it can be very annoying for those who are outside in the windy weather. Let’s just say we’d like to see lots of lighter fluid inside your Zippo.
Safety Warning: In times of desperate times, you might look at any remaining resin left in the bowl to get a final opportunity to take a hit. Don’t do it. Consuming the remnants of resin is not advised.
Resin has a significantly smaller THC ratio than buds from which it was derived and most, if all of the THC will be destroyed when we light the resin on fire. Resin also contains greater levels of ash carbon and tar than old marijuana.
Vaporizers
Vaporizing is a lot like smoking cannabis, but it requires heating the weed instead of burning it. Therefore, vaporization is an alternative that is healthier, as it can eliminate the discomfort in the throat and lungs which can result from exposure to burning and heat-sensitive organic matter.
There isn’t any scientific evidence that proves that smoking weed can cause harm to your health in comparison to vaping. It is only a matter of deciding that vaporizing is safer.
Vaporizers (also called vapes or vape pens) are available in a variety of sizes and shapes. The most famous of them all is the Volcano Hybrid, which has existed since the time that weed was legalized across every US state. The high cost of the volcano and massive size have made it beyond the reach for even the most dedicated cannabis enthusiasts.
Thanks to advances in miniaturization and the decrease in cost of this technology, smaller pen devices are rapidly becoming a preferred substitute for bongs and joints. These days, there are vapes that are portable and handheld, which can easily fit in your pocket. It’s not more convenient than that.
Another benefit to vaporizers can be used in conjunction with oils that contain up to 80percent THC (compared to 5-55% in flowers). The numbers suggest that using vaporizers to vaporize oils will have a more powerful effect on the body.
