Edibles, Smoking, or Vaping? Let’s Talk


If you are new to cannabis, then you might feel pretty overwhelmed when confronted with all of the front end knowledge about various marijuana products that are available to you on the market. It is true that cannabis has become more accessible to people across the United States than it ever has been before. Part of this is due to the fact that medical advancements and technological advancements have made it possible to enjoy using cannabis in a great variety of ways that are not just about smoking anymore. In fact, many people swear by using cannabis products like edibles, tinctures, topicals, and vaping instead of just smoking a bowl of weed like the good old days.


However, it can be hard for new people in the world of marijuana to understand all of the nuances and differences between each form of cannabis consumption and when it is right for them. One of the great parts about the medical marijuana industry is that medical patients must get approval and referral from a licensed doctor or physician in order to qualify for a medical marijuana card. What this means is that people can get valuable insight and information about the type of medical marijuana usage that can best fit their needs and desires, because the doctors will be able to make knowledgeable recommendations based on your medical history and your current physical and mental conditions. So what are some of the primary differences between smoking and eating cannabis? Well, let’s talk about them together and go through each one, making sure that you know the ins and outs of each before you head off to the dispensary.


Smoking cannabis has long been the standing favorite when it comes to marijuana consumption. Still today, smoking weed is the most popular form across both recreational and medical users. Before you start a certain cannabis product, it is important to keep in mind that each one is different and that no two marijuana products are the same. It is critical that you acknowledge the potency of each product and consider how it may affect you. When it comes to effectiveness and speed, smoking is generally considered to be the best form of consuming cannabis. Smoking weed allows you to feel the results the fastest, and sometimes the heaviest. However, this also means that the weed’s impact is also quick to diminish as well.





Since smoking weed is the most popular method of cannabis consumption, you will never have to worry about a shortage on the market. Most medical dispensaries keep a very high stick on a variety of marijuana buds and flowers that are perfect for smoking. Plus, you can experience the flavorful and beneficial terpenes and cannabinoids that go along with smoking your weed. However, it is important to keep in mind that smoking anything is not necessarily good for your lungs. Though we know that smoking weed is not as bad for you as cigarettes, we still do not have any studies and long term effects of smoking weed on the human lungs.





Therefore, it is safe to say that one should take into consideration the effect on the lungs that smoking anything can have. Another part of inhaling marijuana comes in the form of vaping, which is a much newer method of consuming cannabis. Vaping is similar to smoking in a lot of ways, but the weed is heated at lower temperatures and means that you’ll have less discomfort and irritation on your lungs that one might find with smoking weed. Research shows that this may be the ideal way to use cannabis! I hope this helps, we will talk about edibles another time.
