There are plenty of ways to use cannabis products beyond smoking

As the COVID-19 is part of the SARS family of viruses that cause a severe acute respiratory syndrome, experts have been recommending people to avoid smoking anything to protect and maintain lungs as healthy as possible to face a possible infection. Following up on those recommendations, many cannabis consumers have been opting for other methods of consumption that do not involve any smoking. Luckily, the cannabis industry has been innovating and bringing cannabis edibles, topicals and other presentations, so people have a wide variety of products to choose from, some of them healthier than others.

For many people, the preferred method will always be smoking, especially due to its quick effect. Vaping could be a healthier option to replace smoking, though, as its technology keeps improving. There is a clear difference between smoking and vaporizing. The former burns the plant, but vaporizing only heats it, so there is a lowers risk for the lungs. Temperatures can be adjusted to get the desired level to allow different combinations of terpenes and cannabinoids.

Edibles are perhaps the second option for consumption among cannabis consumers. Sales have been increasing since the coronavirus outbreak. They go back a long time with the first marijuana brownies, but the market now offers all sorts of presentations. There are gluten-free, vegan, sugar-free and even kosher cannabis edibles to adjust to every lifestyle.

Another healthy and versatile way to enjoy cannabis is by using oils and extracts. These oils come ready to use perfectly preserving the medicinal and recreational effects of cannabis, although the effects can vary depending on the method used to make the extraction. Sublingual is the best way to use cannabis for a quick effect – almost as quick as smoking – as cannabis can penetrate through the veins underneath the tongue. If the taste is too much, there is always the option of adding a few drops to a cup of coffee or tea.
