Common Ways to Consume Cannabis

Common Ways to Consume Cannabis

Whether you are new to the world of cannabis and wondering what’s out there or you are an avid smoker looking for something new to try, you’re in the right place. Cannabis comes in many forms and can be consumed in many different ways as well. Exploring the different options that are out there can be exciting and even lead you to a better experience with cannabis.

Find out what the common ways are to consume cannabis and what the benefits are for each, right here at Strains Dispensary.

Vaping

Vaping cannabis consists of using a vape pen which heats up the cannabis to a controlled temperature. Once it reaches peak temperature the cannabis vaporizes, allowing you to breathe it in and inhale. Vaping is beneficial because it keeps the actual smoke out of your lungs, it’s discreet, and it’s easy to do.

Edibles

Edibles are available in the form of candy, cookies, snacks, drinks, and so much more. They tend to be more potent and the effects take longer to kick in so it’s important to make sure you are controlling the dosage. Edibles are very discreet, have longer lasting effects, and come in many varieties.

Smoking Cannabis Flower

When you smoke cannabis flower you have many options to choose from such as smoking from a bong, blunt, joint, or bowl. All of these methods involve grinding up the flower, lighting it, and smoking it. Smoking cannabis flower makes it easier to find the right dose and control your experience. Smoking also works quickly and it only takes a few hours for the effects to wear off.

Topicals

Cannabis topicals are a great resource for those looking for pain relief without the intoxicating effects that cannabis can have if consumed orally or by inhalation. Topicals come in the form of balms, lotions, salves, and more that you can apply directly over joints and muscles. The application is fast and easy and there are various THC and CBD formulas available.

What is the Entourage Effect?

What is the Entourage Effect?

Upon taking a closer look at cannabis buds you’ll find that they are covered in sticky dots of resin. Resin contains hundreds of therapeutic compounds that contribute to how cannabis affects and benefits us. Two of the most famous and well-known compounds are THC and CBD but there are so many other factors that work together and create unique benefits. This is what we refer to as “the entourage effect.”

The Entourage Effect Explained

There are hundreds of botanical compounds that our bodies take in when we smoke and vaporize cannabis. Each one of these compounds arrives with different effects and these effects may change in the presence of other compounds which is known as the entourage effect.

To look at it from a different perspective, imagine how your mood or attitude might change depending on who you are with. If you’re in a room full of strangers your personality might not come through as much as it would if you were surrounded by people you know.

For example, THC and CBD have their own effects separately, THC is what provides more of a head high and CBD has a calming effect. When THC and CBD are combined they work together to reduce pain, reduce anxiety and depression symptoms, and much more. There are plenty of other compounds found in cannabis such as CBN, CBC, CBG, and so many more. With so many diverse compounds the possible combinations of effects that can be produced are endless.

How to Clean Your Bong

How to clean your bong

Bongs are a great way to smoke weed because the water works to filter out a lot of the stuff you don’t want to be inhaling that comes with the smoke. Having a clean bong ensures that you get the best filtration, flavor, and makes for a better high. However, if you are using a dirty bong you’re defeating the purpose of the filtration by allowing all of the gunk from the smoke to sit inside the bong and be inhaled.

Even if you change the water in your bong but the bong itself is still coated in residue, the stuff you want filtered out just gets inhaled anyway. This is why it’s important to clean your bong frequently and try to dump the water out after every use. A dirty bong is a breeding ground for bacteria and mold which is why Strains Dispensary is here to enlighten you on how to properly clean it and avoid breathing in unwanted substances.

Steps For Cleaning Your Bong

Carefully take apart your bong by removing the bowl and stem. Dump out the dirty water and give it a quick rinse with clean water.
Fill the chamber with isopropyl alcohol but make sure to leave a little empty space. Next, add in two or three tablespoons of coarse salt.
Cover the top of the bong, shake it vigorously, and then let it sit for about 10 minutes.
Discard the solution, wipe down the inside with a paper towel or a bottle brush.
Rinse the inside with clean water, cover the top, and shake again. Empty the contents and repeat these steps as many times as necessary.
Clean the bowl and stem by adding them into a ziplock bag filled with isopropyl alcohol and salt. Shake the bag and then let it sit for 10 minutes.
Give the bag one more shake and then rinse the pieces with water until they are clean.
