Different Ways To Consume Marijuana
There are several common ways people consume marijuana (cannabis). Each method affects how quickly you feel it, how long it lasts, and how intense it may be.
1. Smoking (Inhalation)
How: Dried flower is burned and inhaled.
Common methods:
Joints (rolled in paper)
Blunts (rolled in cigar wraps)
Pipes
Bongs (water pipes)
Onset: 1–5 minutes
Duration: 1–3 hours
Notes: Fast effects, easier to control dose, but involves smoke inhalation.
2. Vaping
How: Cannabis flower or oil is heated (not burned) to create vapor.
Types:
Dry herb vaporizers
Vape pens (oil cartridges)
Onset: 1–5 minutes
Duration: 1–3 hours
Notes: Often considered less harsh than smoking, but safety depends on product quality.
3. Edibles
How: Cannabis-infused food or drinks.
Examples:
Gummies
Brownies
Chocolates
Beverages
Onset: 30 minutes–2 hours
Duration: 4–8+ hours
Notes: Stronger, longer-lasting effects. Easy to overconsume because effects are delayed.
4. Tinctures (Sublingual)
How: Liquid cannabis extract placed under the tongue.
Onset: 15–45 minutes
Duration: 2–6 hours
Notes: More controlled dosing than edibles; faster onset.
5. Topicals
How: Cannabis-infused lotions, balms, or creams applied to skin.
Onset: 15–30 minutes
Duration: Varies

Dabbing
