Choose Which Method is Best For You
Smoking
Smoking involves burning cannabis flower and inhaling the smoke, allowing cannabinoids to rapidly absorb into the bloodstream through the lungs.
Vaporizing
Vaping uses a device to heat cannabis oil with high THC concentrations, producing vapor that’s inhaled for quick bloodstream absorption.
Edibles
Edibles are cannabis-infused food products eaten orally, delivering a measured THC dose that’s digested and absorbed slowly for lasting effects.
Tinctures
Tinctures are alcohol-based cannabis extracts consumed by placing under the tongue or adding to food for fast or flexible absorption.
Topicals
Topicals are cannabis-infused lotions, balms, or oils applied to the skin, providing localized relief from pain, inflammation, and muscle soreness.
