Smoking or Vaping might not be for everyone and as such we have created a list with a few alternative ways you could consume your desired cannabinoids.
Here’s a look at how different methods compare, plus some smoke-free alternatives to consider
Some individuals have cardiopulmonary conditions that make smoking inadvisable. Smoking can also be inconvenient and not very discreet. Additionally, many, especially older adults, are more comfortable with traditional medication forms like capsules, and tinctures and find it difficult to see smoking as medicinal. Fortunately, there are several alternative methods to consume cannabis without smoking.
Edibles
Edible offer a potent way to consume cannabis. From the iconic pot brownie to THC-infused gummies and lemonades, there is a wide variety of options. Edibles are powerful and discreet, but it’s important to start with a low dose and wait for the effects to set in, as they can be quite strong and take longer to kick in.
Capsules, and Tablets
Medical cannabis capsules, and tablets provide precise dosing without the calories or preparation required for edibles. This traditional method of taking medication appeals to those who are skeptical of cannabis's medicinal benefits when smoked. Consult your doctor or budtender to find what’s right for you.
Powder
Cannabis powder is a versatile form of powdered THC that can easily dissolve in water, much like a sports supplement. It offers precise dosing and has a quicker onset than traditional edibles, making it an easy and effective option.
Transdermal Patches
Transdermal patches allow cannabinoids to penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream, providing extended release. These patches can be removed if any side effects occur, offering a controlled and steady method of consumption.
Tinctures
Cannabis tinctures are concentrated extracts made by soaking cannabis flowers or leaves in a solvent like alcohol. They are very discreet and allow for precise dosing down to a single drop. Tinctures can be taken sublingually for rapid absorption.
Cannabis Topicals
Topical cannabis products, such as balms, gels, salves, and lotions, are applied directly to the skin. They are used primarily for localized pain relief and muscle aches and do not produce a psychotropic effect due to their lower bioavailability compared to other methods of ingestion.
These alternatives offer various options for those who cannot or prefer not to smoke, catering to different preferences and medical needs.
