Ways To Use Cannabis Part 1

This week we are talking about using and consuming Cannabis. I included as many ways I could think of (or I have tried) but I can guarantee this isn’t an all-inclusive list because of how versatile Cannabis is. In this blog, I’m going to focus on harm reduction and finding what works for you in the Cannabis world. This is only part one lol.

First up to bat is the way most people are familiar with, smoking Cannabis. Break it down, grind it up, roll it up, pack it, and light it up. That is generally how it goes. When it comes to harm reduction, I always recommend eliminating tobacco products when you are smoking. The harm and risks when it comes to smoking tobacco or cigarettes and that’s not something that you want to mix in with your medicine or wellness journey. Switch to hemp, palm leaf, or unbleached cones or papers. Smoking your Cannabis or combusting it even with more natural wraps, papers, or cones exposes you to harmful carcinogens. Now I’m not hating if this is your primary way of consuming. It’s the way I consumed for the majority of my journey with Cannabis. To combat this exposure drink Mullein tea it detoxes your lungs and heals your lips so you can stay healthy. There is something special about smoking a J by yourself or with others out in nature or hanging in the garage or basement.

Vapes! There are so many different types of vapes I’m not even going to try and cover them all. What I will say is they are great for being discreet and powerful. It feels like many people in the Canna community have a love-it-or-hate-it relationship with vapes. I am not a fan of throw-away vapes or vapes with vape juice. Harm reduction here is to always check where your product is being sourced from. Additionally, use full-spectrum products to get the best results from your vape consumption. One way to do this is by using a dry herb vaporizer. You get that discreetness and lack of smoke and carcinogen exposure that you get from other vapes, with the guarantee of getting that amazing Entourage Effect. Some dry-herb vapes even come with concentrate inserts if that’s more your vibe. (I’ll explain more about concentrates later)

Bowls, Pipes, and bongs are pretty straightforward. Bowls or pipes are usually glass with a small “bowl” at the end that you pack your Cannabis into and light the Cannabis directly. There are so many different types of bowels and pipes the designs are endless. I even had a rose quartz pipe at one point. Bongs are another way to consume that has endless designs and ways to create bongs. Harm reduction here is the same for smoking since you're combusting it and try to avoid plastic products to not consume plastic or micro-plastics.
