Cannabis 101: A Beginner’s Guide to Marijuana

Marijuana is already listed as the most commonly consumed drug after alcohol and tobacco. It is anticipated that a time will come when it will become the most commonly consumed drug.

With every day passing, more and more people are searching and beginning to consume marijuana for medicinal and recreational purposes. Some newbies get to reap the benefits of Marijuana. Whereas, a majority of them neither choose well nor experience any positive change. Marijuana is all rewarding, it is mainly because the beginners do not know how to choose and consume Marijuana properly.

How to choose Marijuana?

To get all the benefits of Marijuana, one must have to choose it well. Marijuana is divided into three categories(Indica, Sativa, and Hybrid) and about 700 to 800 strains are available as mail order marijuana. Thousands of the strains are yet to be discovered. From such an overwhelming number of options, one must have to pick the right one.

To pick the right Marijuana strain, a person needs to know why he is planning to consume Marijuana. Whether it’s for recreational or medicinal purposes. If it’s for recreational purposes, we have a lot of options; Pineapple Express, OG Kush, White Widow, Master Kush, Jack Herer, Sour Diesel, Green Crack, Blue Dream, etc. However, if you are consuming it for any medicinal purpose, you have to find something accordingly. To pick the best strain, get to know the Marijuana strains well or discuss your condition with a professional and seek help.

How to Consume Marijuana?

Picking the right strain would not help if you do not consume it properly. It would rather harm you. Therefore, you have to be super picky when it comes to consuming Marijuana.

8% to 15% THC is an ideal percentage for beginners. The lower the THC percentage the better. Since you are just about to consume Marijuana for the first time, try starting with 8% THC. Besides being careful about the THC percentage, you have to consume Marijuana properly as well.

Marijuana can be consumed in many ways. How people usually consume it in the following shapes;

  • Vaporizers
  • Edibles
  • Flower
  • Prerolls
  • Tropicals
  • Drops
  • Concentrates

Vaporizers

Vaporizers are the easiest way to consume Marijuana. A vaporizer is a pen-shaped device that makes consumption hassle-free. This pen-shaped device is nearly odourless and portable. Above all, it does not even require heating time.

As the name suggests, the vaporizers do not combust Marijuana, we rather consume it through vapours. It shows results almost immediately and remains effective for about a good 3 to 4 hours.

Edibles

Edibles are even more convenient than vaporizers. It does not require you to invest in any equipment to consume Marijuana. In this method, Marijuana is measured and eaten. Edibles are the fastest way(even faster than vaporiser) to get relief as the Marijuana reaches the bloodstream faster than smoking. The results are long-lasting as well. To be more specific, Marijuana edibles keep the person high for up to 6 hours.

Flower

Marijuana is available in the shape of flowers as well. It is an unprocessed form of Marijuana. This unprocessed Marijuana can be consumed through a joint, a vaporiser, pipe, or bong. It is most suitable for Marijuana users who do not want to stick to one particular way of consuming Marijuana. Consuming Marijuana in the shape of a flower usually keeps the person high for about 1 to 3 hours.

Prerolls

Preroll is the traditional way of consuming Marijuana. It is still a preferred way of consuming Marijuana at home and at parties. Prerolls are highly suitable for beginners. The most convincing thing about prerolls is that they are available in almost all strains, quantities, and sizes. Like most preferred ways, its results last about 3 hours.

Tropicals

The Marijuana that comes in the shape of balms, creams, sprays, patches, and bath products is collectively called tropicals. The tropicals are non-psychoactive forms of Marijuana. Tropicals do not get you high, they only target and treat pain. It is often suggested to people recovering from surgery or chronic pain. The tropicals give relief to people for a longer time; typically 6 hours.

Drops

Drops are believed to be a low-calorie alternative to edibles. Therefore, it suits calorie-conscious Marijuana users. It is also the easiest way to consume Marijuana. To get relief, all you have to do is put a drop under your tongue and you are done. It gives 5 to 6 hours of relief to calorie-conscious Marijuana users.

Concentrates

Marijuana concentrates come in a variety of forms for ease of use. The most popular forms are wax, shatter, hash, BHO, crumble, and resins. It is the least recommended way of consuming Marijuana for beginners. Since you are just beginning your Marijuana journey, try not to consume Marijuana in the form of wax, shatter, hash, BHO, crumble, and resins.
