Are you concerned about smoking joints because of the health risk they have? Have you ever thought about consuming marijuana in a different way but aren’t sure which method is the best or which you should try next?
There are many ways to consume marijuana, and people all have their own preferences. There are a few that stand out as the most popular including edibles, vaporising, applying it topically, and even sublingually. When deciding which method is right for you, you should take into consideration your lifestyle and needs.
For example if you need relief from pain or anxiety, but don’t want to smoke anything, caping may be perfect for you. One of the reasons the industry has become so big is because there are so many methods of consumption, but if you are new and want to know which are the most popular, here are a few.
Dab rigs
One of the newest additions to the world of marijuana is the dab rig. Essentially, this is just like a bong, however, instead of using the dry herb, you make use of a concentrate in the form of a wax or oil which is placed on a heat surface.
Dab rigs work with 3 different parts and an optional 4th. These are the actual rig or glass piece, the nail which gets heats and then the product is placed on it, and flame torch to heat up the nail. This you will have to purchase separately. Although, this isn’t necessary if you are using an electronic rig, such as the ones available at online retailers like Grasscity. On top of that, you could get what is called a dabber which makes applying the concentrate to the nail a lot easier and more efficient. A dab rig works by heating up the nail, and then placing the product on to the heated nail and spreading it all over, while inhaling. The smoke from the heated product will go through the water chamber and change into vapour which is then inhaled through the moth piece.
This is a great way to consume marijuana if you want to feel the effects relatively quickly and not have to inhale any smoke.
Bongs
A tried-and-true method to consume marijuana, that has been around for quite a long time now, is bongs. As mentioned earlier, bongs are very similar to dab rigs, except bongs make use of the actual dry herb. Bongs are made up of the glass piece, and a bowl. The glass piece is where you will find the mouthpiece where you would inhale form, as well as the water chamber where you will put water in order for the smoke to become vapour. On the side of this glass piece there is a place for your bowl to fit too. This is where you will pack the weed so that it can light up and for the smoke to go through the water.
Bongs are incredibly simple to use once you know what you are doing. Typically, when you make use of a bong, the effects will be similar to that of smoking a joint, the only difference being that you can smoke a lot more in a shorter period of time when using a bong.
Dry herb vaporizers
Another incredibly popular addition to the marijuana market is dry herb vaporizer. These are just like regular vape that vaporise concentrates or juices, however, instead, these will vaporise the compounds within the dry herb itself instead.
This is one of the preferred methods used by marijuana user because it still gives them the effects of smoking a joint, without any of the risk factors. Dry herb vaporizers are also incredibly easy to use, and they can even give you a much better experience because of the fact that you can control the temperature to find the perfect one for you.
Tinctures
Most people know by now, that marijuana has been used medicinally for centuries. This hasn’t stopped now that recreational marijuana has become popular. In fact, they have actually discovered even more convenient ways to consume it such as through tinctures.
Tinctures are an oil concentrate that you place under the tongue. Although there is no social experience to this, it is great if you are wanting to feel the effects almost immediately as it will go directly into your bloodstream.
