There are a number of methods for consuming cannabis. Your preference for experience and products will influence your choice and it may take some experimentation. At Uncle Ike's Pot Shop, we cover all four categories, offering a wide array of options for inhalation, oral, sublingual and topical delivery. We are happy to assist and answer any question you might have.
Cannabis Methods of Consumption
Inhalation –
Providing for almost immediate onset of effects, inhaling cannabis absorbs the active compounds, such as THC, into the bloodstream through the lungs. The most common inhalation methods are smoking and vaping.
Smoking –
Lighting cannabis flower and inhaling the smoke is the most popular and well-known consumption method. It encompasses pipes, water pipes (bongs), joints and blunts.
Vaping –
Advances in technology have led to devices that heat cannabis flower or concentrate to temperatures just below the point of combustion in order to transform active compounds into vapor. Vaping includes tabletop and portable vaporizers, vape pens and dabbing.
Oral/Sublingual –
Oral consumption is an easy and more discreet consumption method while offering two options.
Edibles –
Gummies, baked goods, cannabis infused-beverages and a wide variety of edibles provide a delayed onset of 20 minutes to three hours because the cannabinoids are absorbed through the digestive tract.
Tinctures –
When using tinctures, a few drops placed under the tongue allows the cannabis to be absorbed sublingually and provides rapid onset of effects. Swallowing any remaining liquid results in the delayed onset of an edible.
