5 Factors to Consider When Choosing a Cannabis Consumption Method

You can consume marijuana in many ways. Some methods are better than others, depending on what you’re looking for. Some consumption methods are eating, vaping, drinking, etc. However, making a choice isn’t easy, with many trending and profitable methods available. 

So, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of different consumption methods to choose the best one for you. Keep in mind that everyone’s experience with marijuana may be different, so it’s important to experiment until you find a marijuana consumption method that works best for you. 

The Device’s Popularity

There are many marijuana consumption methods, but only a few are tending and gaining big names. Some of these methods have evolved over the years, while some are recently introduced to the market. Here is a list of popular marijuana consumption methods in the market; we may have heard, read, or are familiar with these methods as canna users.

  • Dry herb vaporizers are manufactured with heat settings, making them easy to use, convenient, portable, and discrete. Vaporizers are relatively affordable at different prices.
  • Bongs are common, and the popular type is the glass bong. You can share the device; it has seamless usage and big hits.
  • Joints are one of the oldest forms of consuming cannabis. The method requires a rolling paper to wrap the cannabis in desired sizes and is also good for sharing.
  • Dab rigs can be used by even newbies and have dosage measurements and different flavors.
  • Edibles are easily consumed, discrete, in dosages, and have a long-lasting effect. The effect is said to last for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Tinctures have a 3 to 4 hours effect, with marking to measure dosages, and are easy to use. The method is discrete and healthier.

Steamroller pipes

Steamroller pipes are cannabis pipes that provide a smooth, even smoking experience. Unlike other cannabis pipes, which can often be harsh and uneven, steamroller pipes evenly distribute the smoke, resulting in a more enjoyable smoking experience. The design of steamroller pipes also allows for more efficient use of cannabis, as the smoke is less likely to be wasted. As a result, steamroller pipes are an excellent choice for those looking to enjoy cannabis in the most efficient way possible.

The Ease of Use

A simpler method will ease the work associated with the consumption method. Some people are not into extra accessories like attachments or not into reading a manual on how to fix or use a device. If you’re in this group, there are glass bongs, edibles, tinctures, and joints to choose from. 

If you like puzzles, get a dry herb vaporizer, vape pen, or dab rig. These devices are a bit complicated. Anyways, you’re the user and know what’s best for you, but remember to choose a marijuana consumption method that is comfortable, seamless, and creates a pleasant experience.

The Maintenance 

Your desired marijuana consumption method should be simple for maintenance. Maintenance has a long-term effect on your experiences and device, if any. A poorly maintained device will cast awful aroma, flavor, and effectiveness on your marijuana. 

Frequently used vaporizers are usually congested with resin and chucks. These residues smell of old smoke, which can impact the taste of the herb, making it hard for the device to function properly and finally damaging the vaporizer. However, people who consume edibles, joints, or tinctures have nothing to worry about.

Your Lifestyle

Your lifestyle determines the marijuana consumption method to use. There is no need to worry as there are many consumption methods for everyone’s lifestyle. There are two types of marijuana smokers – active and non-active. 

Active smokers are usually on the go; if you’re one, consider using a bong for its portability. You can dismantle some to fit in a case. You can also use a dry herb vaporizer that is easily moved around, easy to assemble for use, and inconspicuous. Non-active smokers can consider using a joint, which is easy to use and maintain. You can use a joint roller at home, eliminating the need to roll.

Your Budget

Don’t forget to make a budget before entering the market for any device. Choose a marijuana consumption method that you can maintain and refile. FYI, some devices cost over $500, and such devices will require extra maintenance and refiling. 

Plus, you may need to purchase the necessary add-ons to keep the device fully functional. For example, a joint lover will need to budget for rolling paper, lighter, grinder, etc.; a dabber will need torches and nails, while a dry herb vaporizer battery will need replacement after some usage.
