Cannabis Consumption Methods
There are three common ways to consume cannabis, by mouth (orally), inhalation, and topically. These methods allow for a personalized choice on how to consume products and control psychoactive effects.
Oral Consumption and Edibles
Edibles are now available in your choice of gummies, chocolates, fruit chews and oral breath strips. Oral breath strips deliver fast acting CBD or THC because they bypass the digestive system, through nano-emulsion technology. Non-alcoholic cannabis drinks and beer, infused sparkling water and iced tea are available for purchase from local retailers. “Start small and go slow” is a basic principle when exploring edibles as a consumption style.
Inhalation
Vaporizers slowly heat up to produce vapour and deliver THC, CBD and other cannabinoids from the product. There are new vape styles on the market that are safer because they do not burn the herb, just evaporating their essential oils. Inhalation is the most popular method of cannabis consumption, because it’s quick acting.
Topicals
Topical creams and gels contain activated cannabinoids and are non-intoxicating because of lower bioavailability and are used for targeting pain and inflammation. CBD-only consumption continues to trend upward in Canada, as supported by an aging demographic seeking relief of arthritic pain and joint inflammation.
