Cannabis use is often associated with smoking in popular culture. Smoking marijuana is not for everyone.
Certain people may have heart conditions that prevent them from smoking. It’s not always easy to smoke cannabis. And, especially with the coronavirus outbreak, many people might not want to risk their lungs.
Many people, especially the elderly, associate traditional pills, capsules, and tablets with treatment. This is the preferred method and they have trouble associating smoking with anything medicinal. There are options for everyone, even if that is the case.
These other methods of consuming cannabis are also available.

Cannabis Oils
Some people find cannabis to have a distinct taste. Ingestible oils, which are smokeless alternatives to cannabis, are great options for those who are sensitive to its taste. Ingestion oils contain very concentrated cannabinoids. They are most often sold in syringes. These oils are most often found in the distillate, which is activated THC, or RSO, which contains all the components of the cannabis plants. Cannabis oil can be consumed in a variety of ways. You can take it as a single dose or mix it with something like crackers or chocolate. Pre-loading cannabis oil in capsules is an excellent option for those who require daily medical marijuana to treat their condition.
Tablets, Capsules, And Pills
The precise dosage of medical cannabis can be done with capsules, tablets, or capsules. It is a traditional method of getting medication. This can be appealing to those who are skeptical about medical marijuana and don’t like the idea of smoking. Discuss your options with your doctor.
Powder
It is a powdered form of THC. It is precise, simple, and gives you a quicker start than traditional edibles.
Transdermal Patches
Transdermal patches permit cannabinoids into the bloodstream through the skin. They are good for long-term release and can be removed if side effects occurs.
Vapes
The heat from cannabis is high enough to release cannabinoids into the air. This vapor is inhaled. It’s discreet, less harmful, and can hold a variety of products, including oils, resins, and concentrates.
Tinctures
A cannabis tincture, which is a concentrated extract of cannabis leaves and flowers, is made by heating them in alcohol. It is very discreet and allows precise dosing, down to one drop. Learn how you can make your own tincture.
Cannabis Topicals
Cannabis balms, lotions, and salves can be applied directly to the skin to relieve pain and muscle aches. They have a lower bioavailability than most other methods of ingestion and shouldn’t produce any psychotropic effects.
Dab Rigs And Dab Pens
People are slowly trying to get away from smoking because it is dangerous for their lungs and poses health risks. There are many ways to use marijuana, even if you don’t wish to smoke. Dab accessories such as dab rigs are a relatively new addition to the cannabis industry.
Dab rigs can be described as a type of water pipe that cools down the vapor before it reaches your lungs. You have greater control over how high you get because these pipes use a cannabis concentrate rather than the actual plant.
These devices do not require combustion, but only heat to form a vapor. You will feel the effects in a few minutes, but depending on how concentrated you are, you can customize the strength.
