Whether it’s your first time smoking weed or the last time you smoked a joint was 12 years ago, either way, we will help you make your smoking experience much more enjoyable.
The idea of starting to smoke weed or to get back at it may be a little scary. Of course, everything we hear or read every day gets us a little confused. But don’t worry, we’ve all been there. And if it’s purely recreational, look no further, we’ve got you covered.
We will tell you all you need to know about weed. How should you determine the best strain that’s the most appropriate for you or how much should you consume it. Everything you need to know so that you have a great smoking experience.
So what is the best way to smoke weed? Well, no matter which way it is, it’s never a completely safe way to smoke weed. Even if you are using the purest plants, that still can be harmful as they might contain the same toxins, etc. that tobacco cigarettes do.
Smoke a Joint
With that said, smoking a joint remains one of the oldest and the most widely used methods of consuming cannabis. It’s extremely handy and there’s nothing hard about rolling your joints. All you’ll need are a handful of supplies like your preferred cannabis strain, some rolling papers, and that. So if you’re looking for an easy way to smoke your weed, joints would be a smart choice.
If you’re unimpressed with that, there’s another way of smoking weed that’s equally popular. Use a bong.
You must know what a bong is and must have seen it somewhere, if you did, you know what a bong is. Bongs can be easily bought from smoke shops and online. You can look for options and see what fits your needs. You can always talk to your friends about it, let them help you in picking the best thing for you because after all, you are not planning to smoke weed alone. Even if you are, bong remains one of the most convenient ways of smoking weed.
Another relatively healthier or less harmful way is vaping
The people who prefer using vaporizers are aware of the dangers of smoke inhalation. That is why a large number of people have veered to vape. Another reason why people prefer this way of consuming weed is that they believe that the effects are stronger. It’s also backed up by a report, according to which people that use vapes for consuming cannabis are reported to have experienced much stronger effects. Regardless of the amount of THC contents in the products, it is said that the effects are stronger and more ‘enjoyable’ while vaping weed. This also means that there’s a greater chance of people overdoing it. So if you’re planning to go for a vaping session, make sure that you’re aware of your tolerance level because you wouldn’t want to green out while or after your vaping session.
Spliffs or blunts are also considerable smoking options
Although they are more like smoking joints, somehow a bit different. Joints are when cannabis or weed is rolled inside smoking or rolling paper. While spliff is when you use both cannabis and tobacco together. Similarly, a blunt is when you roll the green contents using a tobacco leaf instead of smoking or rolling paper. All these seem to be alike but smokers have their preferences, they tend to stick to whatever they like. You can also give them a try to see what you like and enjoy more.
Other methods you can go for
There are tons of other methods to consume the goodness of cannabis. Here is a list of things you can go for:
Edibles: Smoking isn’t the only option for consuming cannabis. If you’re not a fan of inhaling the plant, you can always go for edibles such as THC gummies. Although there are some downsides to them as they usually take longer to kick in, the good thing is that you will have a smoke-free experience. Also, it is believed that the ‘effect’ lasts longer as compared to even you smoke the plant. So there are pros and cons of them all. Plus there are a lot of fun options like edible gummies etc. Pick the ones according to your choice.
Sublinguals: Unlike edibles, there is a sublingual form of cannabis that is available for sale. You can easily go for them. You don’t exactly consume like you’ll eat the edibles. In most cases, they are meant to be placed under your tongue. From there they are absorbed quickly, yes, even faster than when you eat them.
Tinctures: Another available form is o tinctures. They come in small bottles with a dropper placed on top of them. You can simply put a few drops of these tinctures in your drinks etc. This idea of cannabis consumption becomes super popular as well.
Tropicals: Last but not least, if you are aware of the therapeutic benefits of cannabis and are willing to give them a try, you can look for creams and balms that are made using the goodness of this plant.
Bottom-line
looking out for how to smoke weed is a good idea. And now that you’re aware of what possibly can be your options be, give them a try to find out what you like. You can also have your like-minded friends over to decide the choice that you are about to make. It’s always a great idea to have a second opinion about the choice that we are to make. So no matter what you’re looking at, it is recommended to take a slow start. Start by using low amounts and then once you get hang of it, you can elevate your game but until then, it should be a slow and careful start because you wouldn’t want to overdo it. After all, as we all know, that can be a super embarrassing experience.
