How to Consume Cannabis: Tips for Beginners

By Marquez Rodriguez

Choosing the best way to consume your marijuana can be a tough choice for everyone, including myself. But when you know what you like and what gets you the most out of the herb, it usually becomes your choice for years to come. For myself, I find myself enjoying joints, blunts and cartridges the most. Anything that can be easily held in one hand, cannot shatter into a bunch of glass and won’t hit me unexpectedly is the way I like to consume my stash. But it is different for everyone, some might absolutely hate the smell of the plant so they might lean more towards concentrate or edibles than consuming the flower. Let’s take a look at the different ways to consume cannabis and why some might choose that over the other. 

Edibles

Choosing to eat baked goods, candy or consume the plant through a drink is a choice a lot of people have been making recently since it is very easy to mask the smell once it is completed. This product also has a longer effective timeline, most do not realize when the edible will even hit them. “This edible ain’t s***” as most might say, which comes with the risk of the edible hitting you out of nowhere and continuing throughout the remainder of your day. This way of consuming is tasty and enjoyable to the public since it has been a creative way to feel the effects.

Flower

There are many ways to consume marijuana through the use of the flower itself. Whether you like to load a bowl in a bong or roll yourself a joint or blunt, there is no limit to how you can get the effect that way. Most people enjoy this way because it is the most natural and original way. Some might not enjoy the smell, but I would say most people have come to ignore the smell or enjoy it.

Concentrate

Another popular way to consume marijuana is through the extraction of the concentrate from the plant. Many people say the effects of taking dabs get you more of the natural effects that using the flower or an edible. Vape pens have also become very popular in the past years, it is very accessible and easily transportable to have a cartridge to vape from whenever you need. Cartridges also hit much smoother than using a dab rig and you can change the amount of hit  you get with most batteries. No cleaning required for these tools as well.
