World Non-Smoking Day: how do you use cannabis without smoking it?

31 May 2019 - World No Smoking Day - Consuming cannabis can be done in various ways, with smoking and inhaling being the well-known option. However, not everyone likes smoking.

Smoking cannabis can cause an unpleasant burn in the throat, coughing from a hard inhalation or the aftertaste of the smoke. For those who prefer an alternative method, read below different ways to consume cannabis without smoking it!

Vaporizing

Cannabis doesn't need a lighter to still reap its benefits. In fact, when vaporizing, the chemicals last much longer, because of the lower, less harmful temperature. The vapor is also easier on the lungs than inhaling smoke from a pipe.

Vaping cannabis may sound a bit strange if you are new to the world of cannabis, but actually it is the trend that is becoming more and more popular in the cannabis market. According to Business Insider, vaportizing now accounts for more than a quarter of global sales.

While the world is becoming more and more concerned with how to become healthier, more and more people are opting for this cheaper, healthier alternative way of consuming a joint.

But what are the benefits of use from an evaporator? It appears that the chemicals in cannabis that we all know and love evaporate at a much lower temperature. So after all these years, we now know that you don't have to flare your cannabis until they are delicious to enjoy!

With a less harsh effect on the throat and lungs, and no need to mix other things like tobacco, vaping is undoubtedly a healthier way to enjoy cannabis. Vaping is fun too; With a rich choice of options on the market, you can go for a budget vaporizer or go all out for a tech-savvy vaporizer - the possibilities are endless!

Edibles

So-called “Edibles” are edible products that contain cannabis in the form of food or drink, allowing you to eat the THC instead of smoking it. The diversity of marijuana edibles is increasing rapidly, with it being able to be added to anything that requires butter or oil, such as cookies, brownies, bread, and more! The key to edible intake is to be aware of your dosage. It is important to start with a low dose and to be patient, because it takes longer to feel the effect with edibles.

In the meantime, there is little left to which no cannabis has been added. With cannabis restaurants popping up serving gourmet cannabis dishes and coffee shops serving the finest cannabis-infused lattes, the days of the little weed brownie are over!

Whether you hate smoking or prefer to infuse cannabis into your favorite snack, edibles are an easy way to get creative with marijuana - and you can even make them at home.

You've probably heard it before, but always remember that you start small when you use cannabis in food or drink. Because marijuana has to go through the digestive process, it takes much longer before it has an effect compared to smoking or vape. So take it easy and let it carefully come over you before you fill yourself with all kinds of tasty weed treats!

topicals

Believe it or not, not everyone who uses cannabis does it to get high. The psychoactive effects of marijuana are part of the appeal for many, but for those who are only looking for the medicinal benefits of the plant, it is not the most important.

Topicals are cannabis-infused balms or lotions that can be applied directly to the skin and provide relief from pain, minor aches and pains or inflammation. Topicals are known to treat symptoms without abandoning the psychoactive effects, leaving you with a clear mind and no "high" feeling.

Cannabis topicals are a great alternative for those dealing with pain, swelling, or skin complaints and who are not looking to catch fire. Cannabis-infused lotions, balms and other topical products provide a moisturizing and direct approach to ailments and can act quickly to target specific areas.

Many people used topicals to help with things like eczema, joint pain, post-training relief and arthritis, all without the psychoactive effects.

Dabbing

Similar to vaporizing, dabbing is a method in which cannabis concentrates are placed on a heated bong attachment and inhaled for intensely potent effects. Dabbing is a popular method for experiencing a powerful high without inhaling extreme smoke.

Good quality concentrates will taste cleaner and give off a vapor rather than smoke. This method is recommended for experienced smokers, as the high concentrates can be a shock for the first time with a cannabis smoker. It's a healthier way to get a powerful high.

Although it is certainly not ideal for beginners, dabbing is an experimental and interesting way to enjoy marijuana without smoking, and it certainly offers a healthier alternative than the direct smoking of cannabis!

CBD Capsules

We've all heard of CBD capsules, but what about canna caps? Cannabis capsules are whatever it says on the package – ingestible cannabis oil that usually comes in pill form and can be taken on its own or mixed with food.

Cannabis capsules offer a smoke-free alternative that will still get you a "high" if that's what you're looking for! For those looking for cannabis to help with health conditions, this direct method can be helpful as it hits the digestive area, meaning it can work its magic better if that's where the problems arise.

As with the “edibles” edibles, the capsules take longer to take effect, so start with the lowest dose and then work over a longer period of time to make sure you don't get too much at once.

So is Smoke-Free the future of cannabis?

Whether you're a smoker or not, smoking joints and using bongs will never die out - people love them too much! However, we realize that these ways of smoking don't have to be the only options, so these alternatives are sometimes a bit healthier and also more versatile.

Whether it is medication, used for recreational purposes or if you just want to experiment, you cannot go wrong with any of today's methods. Let us know in the comments: What is your favorite smoke-free way to enjoy marijuana?
