Do you think your dislike for smoking is preventing you from trying cannabis? Don’t worry; it’s not the end of the world, as we have several other methods for you to enjoy cannabis.
Not everyone likes to light a joint, especially those with issues with their lungs. So, let’s find out how these forms of cannabis can be enjoyed.
Topicals
Cannabis-infused skin care products such as creams, oils, balms, and shampoos have gained popularity over the years owing to their high usage among people from all walks of life. These products are natural and leave your skin feeling hydrated. This is a great way to save your skin from chemicals with the help of the plant. It is important to note that these products will not cause psychoactive effects, which means you will not feel high after using them, but they will give you therapeutic benefits instead.
Cannabis Drinks
There are several cannabis drinks available on the market for you to choose from, or you can make one yourself at home. These cannabis-infused drinks include coffees, sodas, lemonades, smoothies, milkshakes, and more. It is interesting to know that we can add cannabis to almost any drink of our choice and enjoy it.
It is good to start your day with weed coffee or a refreshing cannabis-infused juice, but always watch the amount of cannabis you put into your drink as you may experience unpleasant side effects such as dry mouth, reduced alertness, redness in the eyes, increased appetite, and increased heart rate. However, the weed drinks that are available in shops are not very potent.
Edibles
Cannabis-infused food is another option for those who don’t like smoking. Weed brownies and cookies are in high demand in stores or dispensaries. How about making your own cannabutter at home? You can also make your own weed candy and ice cream and have a good time.
However, no matter what you decide to do, be mindful of your limits. You must begin with a low dose and then increase it only if required. Patience is the key here. It is pertinent to know that edibles take longer to start working and may have strong psychoactive effects.
Tinctures
This is another famous way to ingest cannabis because it is the easiest form to use. You can take it with the help of a dropper. All you need to do is place droplets under your tongue and enjoy them. The other way of taking it is to put the concoction into your meals and drinks.
The benefit of a bottle of droppers is that you can take even doses. Another benefit is that tinctures do not have calories, and for that, your body will thank you. However, you must make sure to store it in a dark and cool place, as doing so will increase its shelf life.
Concentrates
Concentrates are highly potent and look like honey or butter. Their THC levels range from 40% to 80%. This option is for those who can handle THC and are experienced. Beginners should not give it a try. Cannabis should be taken with the advice of medical experts. If not used mindfully, the person can experience anxiety, panic attacks, paranoia, and hallucinations. If you suffer from any of these symptoms after having products with higher amounts of THC, seek medical help without delay. In addition, you can apply for a New Jersey medical marijuana card so that a doctor can guide you on a dosage of cannabis.
Conclusion
So, which of these forms do you think will tickle your fancy? Why not just try one of these to find the answer? But before indulging yourself, always seek professional advice and enjoy it responsibly.
