So, you’ve decided to try cannabis. Excellent choice! There are many ways to consume cannabis, some of which are better suited for beginners than others. This blog post will outline the best methods for consuming cannabis, based on your experience level. Keep in mind that everyone’s tolerance and response to cannabis are different, so you may want to experiment with different methods until you find one that’s right for you. If you want to find out more about the best cannabis consumption methods for beginners, continue reading.
Bongs
The very first cannabis consumption method on this list for absolute beginners is the bong. Bongs are probably the most widely used, and recommended, consumption method, especially for beginners.
If you want to get the most out of your smoking experience, then you need to invest in a good bong. Not only will it help you take bigger hits, but it will also make the whole process a lot smoother. Glass bongs are the way to go and there are plenty of heady glass options at Smoke Cartel that will add an extra element of style to your smoking setup.
The primary reason for this is the fact that bongs are incredibly easy to use; all you need to do is grind marijuana, fill the bowl, light it and inhale. This means that even if you have no experience with marijuana, there’s no way you can do it incorrectly.
Joints
The second cannabis consumption method on this list for beginners is joints. A joint also referred to as a cannabis cigarette, is simply cannabis that has been rolled using rolling or smoking paper. For beginners, this method is also relatively easy and is one of the most iconic.
The only challenge that beginners might face is rolling the joint. This is because it does require a bit of practice to roll the perfect joint, but if you don’t care about perfection and only about inhaling the smoke that is created, there shouldn’t be any problems with this method.
Edibles
The next cannabis consumption method that is a popular choice for many people new to consuming cannabis is edibles. Edibles, as the name would suggest, are food items that have been infused with cannabis. One of the reasons this method is so popular is because all you need to do is eat.
Another reason this method has become so popular is that it has the longest duration of effects out of all the consumption methods, at around 8 hours.
Bubblers
If you like the idea of bongs, but you aren’t so sure about them, then you might want to try a bubbler as your first consumption method. Many people like the idea of bongs, but don’t end up using them because they are quite large, which makes them difficult to carry around.
If portability is important to you, then the bubbler will be perfect. This is because bubblers are mini bongs; they offer the same function, have smoother hits, but are a fraction of the size.
Transdermal Patches
If you are the type of person that doesn’t want to do anything to get high, then there is a consumption method that should meet your needs; transdermal patches. Transdermal patches are very similar to nicotine patches.
What they do is release small amounts of THC into your bloodstream over a specific period, usually about 8 hours. This means that you are essentially micro-dosing throughout the day. The reason that you don’t have to do anything is that it is applied to the skin, and that’s that.
Dry Herb Vaporizers
If none of the cannabis consumption methods mentioned above appeal to you in the slightest, don’t fret, you could be needing a dry herb vaporizer. Dry herb vaporizers are devices that allow you to heat cannabis, instead of burning it, which not only changes the experience, it’s also healthier.
Dry herb vaporizers are a great choice for beginners since all you need to do is grind cannabis, fill the chamber, select a temperature, activate the device, and then inhale the vapor. The temperature that you select will determine the effects that you feel.
Dab Rigs
Finally, the last cannabis consumption method on this list are dab rigs, and they have become a beginner favorite over the last few years. Dab rigs almost look like bongs, except instead of using dry herb, you would need to use concentrate or shatter.
Dab rigs work similarly to dry herb vaporizers; the concentrate or shatter is placed on a nail which is heated up, and the vapor that is produced is inhaled. This makes this consumption method another healthy choice.
