Marijuana can be used in a million ways – from smoking a joint or a pipe, through preparing a bucket, to consuming it with food or even in capsules. However, some of these ways require some effort and experience, so they’re not ideal for those who only begin their adventure with cannabis. People who are new to this topic should first do some research and then choose a way of consuming marijuana that seems the best and the easiest. Below, there are some tips on how to do that.
How to prepare
Before trying marijuana, you need to be aware of some basics. As marijuana contains THC, it’s considered to be an intoxicant, which is not legal in many regions as it changes the perception and processes in the brain. It’s not permitted to drive after marijuana consumption, and if you get caught, you will probably need to be tested. However, there are some ways to change the test result. You can use, for example, a hair follicle shampoo, which removes the marijuana scent and remains from your hair.
Joints
Joints, often called spliffs, are probably the easiest way of trying marijuana. They’re actually just like regular cigarettes, but with cannabis inside. To prepare a joint, you basically need to grind the cannabis so that it resembles a powder and put it inside a filter. Then roll it just like a normal cigarette. You add some tobacco to boost the flavour.
Bongs
Bongs are another popular way of consuming marijuana. For this method, you’ll need a glass or a bowl filled with water where you put the marijuana. Because it’s filtered through water, it’s relatively mild. Then you need to simply inhale. Remember that when you use the bowl method, you’ll get high quickly. That’s because the ‘surface’ of inhaling is bigger than in the case of a joint.
Edibles
A good and non-invasive way of marijuana consumption for beginners is edibles. This category concerns almost all the foods and products than you can eat cannabis with. It can be cookies, pies or even drinks. As foods take time to digest, sometimes you won’t feel the high immediately – it’s good to take a little break to see at what point you are. Don’t eat all the cake at once if you don’t want to get completely stoned.
Marijuana consumption can be a pleasure if you plan it reasonably and consider all available options. Then, just choose your favourite and simply enjoy your first high. Don’t get discouraged if it’s not ‘that good’ at first. You’ll learn your reactions with time.
