VWB Blog 1 year ago 29

There is no denying it. The green rush has made marijuana one of the fastest-growing businesses. According to some reports, it’s projected that the cannabis market will hit $15.5 billion by 2030.

That’s a lot of green, and not only cash.

With such explosive growth and legalization across the country, there are seemingly endless ways to consume marijuana. This is at least depending on where you live.

This article breaks down everything you need to know about ways to consume marijuana.

Through Food

There are a few different ways to consume marijuana through food. One way is to make cannabutter or cannabis-infused oil from a cannabis plant and then use it when cooking. This can be used in sweet or savory dishes, much like a spice. Specific recipes where different types of cannabis can be added are sauces and soups.

Another way to consume marijuana through food is to purchase edibles. These can be store-bought or homemade and are typical sweets like brownies or cookies.

Finally, some people like to add a tincture to their food. This is a liquid form of marijuana that can be added to anything.

Topically

Topical marijuana is applied directly to the skin in the form of creams, oils, or sprays. These may help people who are in pain or have inflammation and skin conditions. Typically, topical marijuana is not psychoactive, meaning it will not produce the “high” associated with smoking marijuana.

Smoking

There are many ways of cannabis consumption, but smoking is by far the most popular. Smoking marijuana involves lighting the plant matter on fire and inhaling the resulting smoke.

This method of consumption is quick and efficient, and it also allows the user to better control the dosage. It can also be a social activity, shared with friends. Just be careful about the trippy effects it might have on your body after consuming it.

Vaping

One of the newer methods of consuming marijuana is vaping. This involves heating the marijuana to a temperature where the active ingredients are released in a vapor, which is then inhaled. This method is thought to be less harmful to the lungs than smoking, as there is no combustion involved.

Dabbing

Dabbing is also a relatively new method of consuming marijuana. It is growing in popularity due to the fact that it is a very efficient way to get the drug into your system. The process involves the drug that is usually concentrated in a small amount of oil or wax, which is then placed on a hot surface and inhaled.

This allows you to control the amount of marijuana you consume, which can be helpful if you are trying to stay within a certain budget. Additionally, it provides a more intense high than other methods of consuming marijuana, such as smoking.

Choose From These Ways to Consume Marijuana

Overall, there are many different ways to consume marijuana. You can dab it, smoke it, vape it, eat it, or even apply it topically. The method you chose will likely depend on your preferences and desired effects.

If you’re new to marijuana, it’s a good idea to start slow and check in with yourself to see how your body reacts. Just remember that no matter how you consume it, be sure to do so safely and responsibly.
