How to Use Medical Cannabis in the Summer 

Medical cannabis is some of the most versatile stuff. Whether your vape it, consume it through edibles, or even drink it, there are tons of great ways to utilize cannabis, and it’s all becoming more innovative than before. Summer is something that definitely also changes the way you’re able to utilize cannabis, and you’re definitely going to experience a lot of the benefits that it offers. Here’s our favorite ways to consume cannabis during the summer, and why some methods are better than others. 

Smoking It 

Smoking is one of the best ways to use it, as it’s pretty traditional. Whether you use rolling papers, joints, water pipes, bongs, or regular pipes, this is one of the top ways to use it. 

It does contain certain cannabinoids, and as it enters the lungs, it then is used. 

This is one that’s the cheapest, and the effects are fast, about 15 minutes or less. However, this is also a bit risky, since it can have carcinogens within it. Smoking via a joint or pipe is also considered the cheapest though, especially for those who don’t want to invest too much. 

Vaping 

This is the new popular way to take in cannabis, since it is a nice alternative. It’s smokeless, and it basically involves heating up the marijuana turning it into vapor, and then it gets absorbed when you inhale this. 

Again, this is another fast-acting sort of means, and usually within 15 minutes, you’re good. It also takes out the carcinogens, and you’re not having to worry about the effects of that. It’s also more flavorful. 

The major disadvantage is the cost, since it requires more specific equipment. But with dry vapes possibly taking the market, this could change for many people. 

Edibles 

Edibles are easy and effective, and considered one of the best ways to have cannabis if you want long lasting effects. This is one where you eat it, and then, it gets broken down, with the liver converting this to the right cannabinoids to distribute into your bloodstream. 

This is great because you can have as much or as little as you want. However,  always go slow, until you know your limit. The biggest disadvantage is that these are not predictable, so you could green out on accident, and they take a bit for them to work. 

Tinctures and Oils 

This is another popular way, and it works similar to how edibles do. The biggest disadvantage is that they’re super discreet, so if you’re in a state that still frowns down upon this, you don’t have to worry about judgment. They’re small enough for you to hide it in a bag too. 

The disadvantage is that it’s not as bioavailable, and some people don’t like the taste of them. they taste very much like weed, so keep that in mind. Plus, it doesn’t have the best terpene profile either, but if you want it quick and easy, with immediate effects while being discreet, you’re in luck. 

Dabbing 

Dabbing is one of the new [popular ways. Basically, you heat up the concentrates to a very low temperature, and then inhale this. The biggest advantage, but also the disadvantage, is that these guys pack a punch. Concentrates are known for being some of the strongest stuff out there and for newbies, this can be too potent. 

Plus, the equipment is very expensive, but if you use medical cannabis for a bit, and you want something that’s a bit more potent, this may be the right one for you, just be mindful of the effects.
