Consuming cannabis through different methods can affect how it helps the body
You may have noticed in the media that marijuana is beginning to occupy a less shady place. More and more people are coming out of the “cannabis closet,” and more regions of the world are softening their laws on the subject or legalizing its use, and it is no longer a taboo subject. If you are new to the world of cannabis, you are probably wondering which is the most effective method of consumption for your needs. There are some essential tips to take the first step.
The most common use of cannabis is inhalation, which allows the plant to enter the bloodstream quickly through the respiratory system. Traditionally this is done by smoking it, although vaporizers with cannabis oil concentrates are now also used.
If you are perhaps not practiced enough and want to avoid damaging your lungs at all costs, remember that it can also be ingested in the form of edibles made with cannabis oil, milk, or butter. This method takes longer to take effect, and the effect tends to last longer. Caution should be taken not to overdose when consuming it orally.
Marijuana can also enter the body by the transdermal route. In ancient times, marijuana ointment was a recipe used as an analgesic by gurus and shamans to soothe kidney pains or strokes. Its preparation is simple and highly effective to treat specific areas of the body. If your idea is to relieve pain in a specific area, this option should be at the top of your list.
And lastly, there is sublingual consumption. This involves placing certain cannabis products under the tongue and holding them for about a minute before swallowing, or until they dissolve. In this way, the molecules quickly pass through a thin layer of tissue and diffuse through the capillaries of the cardiovascular system.
Consuming cannabis sublingually produces an effect similar to smoking, without the need to inhale smoke or vapor. Hold it under the tongue for one minute until the product is absorbed. You will feel the effects within minutes.
