5 Ways to Enjoy Cannabis Without Having to Smoke it When we think of marijuana the first thing that comes to mind is to light the herb and inhaling the combusted plant into our lungs. However, the feeling of a burning throat is not meant for everyone. As not everyone likes to smoke, and for those with a compromised lung health it may not even be an option. The stigmatized image of smoking marijuana might also be something stopping some people of trying cannabis. So instead of smoking cannabis, you can also experience it in different forms that will provide you with the same level of enjoyment. Here are some of our suggestions for a smoke-free cannabis experience
Vape Pens
Vape pens are very easy to carry and very discreate when your aim is to smoke marijuana discretely. This is a vaporization method, which entails that there no combustion of plant matter. Due to the heating element it brings the vape pen to a temperature that is just hot enough to create light vapor
Edibles
Another good alternative to smoking cannabis is consuming cannabis-infused food and drinks. Over the past few years the variety of marijuana edibles has quickly increase. Currently you can infuse almost everything that needs butter or oil. Giving you plenty of choices of the type of edible you can make at home or purchase at the store. One thing you need to take in mind with edibles is that you should start with a small dose and be patient. Due to the digestive process, it takes much longer for the edible to kick in
Tinctures
Cannabis tinctures have been around for many centuries. These are infused liquids that extract cannabis compounds using an alcohol soak and are applied directly under the tongue. It is a good method for people that find non-smoked marijuana healthier and cleaner. Tinctures are concentrated marijuana in liquid form, due to its concentrated form the dosing is generally an eyedropper or two. Tinctures are different than ingestible oils and infused foods as they enter the bloodstream immediately. This allows for fast acting effects and a better dose control. Furthermore, as a consumer you can often choose from a variety of flavors, potencies and between the different cannabinoid profiles that are available. This makes it easy to match to your specific preferences or medical needs.
Ingestible oils
Ingestible oils are basically any cannabis concentrate that can be taken orally. These are often found on capsules or plastic applicators. Sometimes these are consumed directly or added to food or drinks. Just like with edibles, ingestible oils have powerful effects and need some time to kick in. Therefore, always be mindful of your dose
Beverages
Another rising trendy way of consuming cannabis with the consumption of beverages. As a consumer you can now find many tasty infused lemonades, sodas, cocktails and infused coffees. Infused coffees can be bought at the retail store, however, another way of enjoying this hot beverage is by adding cannabis to your home brewed cup of coffee.
