For people who are new to cannabis, the choices of methods for ingesting it can be daunting. With so many options available, it’s difficult to decide which one is right for you. Should you use a dry herb vaporizer or a dab rig? What’s the difference between a bong and a bubbler? Are edibles worth it?
This blog post will outline the most common methods of cannabis consumption and provide some information about each one. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced user, this post will help you choose the right method for your needs. So, let’s get started!
Dry Herb Vaporizers
As a beginner, all of the various consumption methods can seem a bit overwhelming, especially dry herb vaporizers, since they can seem a bit futuristic and advanced. However, dry herb vaporizers aren’t that complicated to use.

To use a dry herb vaporizer, you just need to grind the cannabis, fill the chamber, select a temperature setting, and begin vaping. What should you know about these devices before using them? Well, they need to be cleaned from time to time to ensure the device isn’t working more than it needs to, as well as the fact that a dirty chamber affects the taste of the cannabis.
Pipes
Cannabis pipes come in many different shapes and sizes. According to Smoke Cartel, some pipes are made from aluminum, glass, or plastic, while others are made from more natural materials like bamboo or wood. Regardless of the material used to make a cannabis pipe, one thing is for sure: smoking cannabis out of a pipe is an experience that should be enjoyed by everyone at least once.
Bongs
If you are new to cannabis, then it is highly recommended to start with something like a bong, since these are by far one of the easiest consumption methods. The reason for this is that the only thing you need to do to use a bong is ground cannabis to fill the chamber.
The only relatively important thing to know about bongs before using them is the fact that bongs come in a variety of different sizes, and the size will affect a few things. For example, the size will affect how big of a hit you can take, and it will also affect how smooth the hit is.

Joints
When it comes to cannabis consumption methods, there isn’t much that can be said about joints. Joints are one of the most iconic methods of consumption, and one of the most popular. One reason for this is because they are incredibly easy to use, and another is because they allow you to consume on the go.
In terms of any useful tips, the best tip would be to always grind the marijuana before rolling a joint. By grinding cannabis, you are making it more malleable in terms of rolling, and more than this, you can pack a tighter joint.
Edibles
For someone new to cannabis, edibles aren’t a bad place to start necessarily, since it’s easy to use (all you need to do is eat the edible since it’s a food item that’s been infused with cannabis). However, if you have never used an edible before, you should take it slow.
This is because edibles take between 1 to 2 hours for the effects to kick in, and many people often consume more than they should since they don’t feel any effects before an hour. In addition to this, the effects last for around 6-8 hours, so if you aren’t prepared for the effects, that’s a long time to be high.
Bubblers
If you were intrigued when reading about bongs, but you were dissuaded from using them after finding out that they are quite big, for the most part, then you will be happy to know that you do get mini bongs in the form of bubblers.

Bubblers are mini bongs, and they allow you to gain all of the benefits of a regular bong, as well as being able to consume on the go, and the ability to clean the device much more easily since they are smaller.
Topicals
The final consumption method on this list is topicals. Topicals are great if you are using them to reduce pain, but they are not used to get high. This is because topicals are applied directly to the skin, and don’t make their way into your bloodstream.
To use a topical, all you need to do is apply it to the affected area and wait for the effects to kick in. There are also marijuana bath salts that do a similar job, but these make you feel extremely relaxed.
