Exploring the Various Ways to Consume Cannabis Products

At Triple M Dispensary, we often receive questions from both new and experienced cannabis consumers about the different methods available for consumption. Understanding these options can help you make informed decisions that align with your preferences and needs.

Traditional Smoking Methods

Smoking remains one of the most common ways to consume cannabis. These methods include:

• Pre-rolled Joints: Convenient and ready-to-use
• Pipes: Portable and easy to use for beginners
• Water Pipes/Bongs: Filter smoke through water for a smoother experience

When smoking cannabis, effects typically begin within minutes and last 2-3 hours, making this method preferable for those seeking immediate relief.

Vaporization: A Modern Alternative

Vaporizing has gained popularity as a potentially less harmful alternative to smoking because it heats cannabis without combustion. Options include:

• Portable Vaporizers: For on-the-go use with flower or concentrates
• Desktop Vaporizers: More powerful home units for experienced users
• Vape Cartridges: Pre-filled with cannabis oil for convenience

Edibles and Ingestibles

For those who prefer not to inhale, edibles offer a smoke-free alternative:

• Gummies, chocolates, and baked goods: Offer precise dosing
• Capsules and tablets: Medicinal approach without flavor
• Beverages: From infused seltzers to teas
• Tinctures: Liquid extracts placed under the tongue

Remember that edibles have a delayed onset (30 minutes to 2 hours) but typically provide longer-lasting effects (4-8 hours).

Topicals: External Applications

Cannabis-infused topicals are applied directly to the skin:

• Creams and lotions: For localized relief
• Balms and salves: More concentrated for specific areas
• Transdermal patches: Time-released effects

Topicals generally don’t produce psychoactive effects but can provide targeted relief.
