How it all began! Cannabis can be smoked in a pipe, a joint or a water pipe. Like vaping, effects are felt almost immediately and last 90 minutes to four hours. Start slow – one hit could very well be enough if you’re new to cannabis or returning after a long absence. If you don’t enjoy grinding or rolling flower yourself, pre-rolls are an easy and convenient choice.

Vaporizers extract therapeutic cannabinoids at much lower temperatures than required for burning which allows for inhalation without actually smoking. The effect is almost immediate and can last anywhere from 90 minutes to four hours. Vaporizers can be used with flower, concentrates, oils and pre-filled vape cartridges.

Edibles have become hugely popular, and for good reason. Discreet, convenient and delicious – but be sure to start slow, wait at least two hours to gauge the effects and do not mix with alcohol or other controlled substances. Be sure to keep edibles away from children and pets as well as other adults who do not enjoy cannabis. If you’re a beginner start with 1 to 5MG – keep it low and slow!

Tinctures and sprays are concentrated forms of cannabis in alcohol- or oil-based solutions. They require careful dosage levels if applied sublingually. They can also be mixed in to water or other beverages. Begin with a very low dose and wait at least 30 minutes before increasing your dose.

Balms, creams, lotions, salves, oils and sprays you apply directly to your skin, muscles and joints that may help with pain and inflammation. Topicals will NOT get you high. These products can be used for a variety of purposes, including first aid, skincare, and cosmetics.
