Different Forms of Cannabis

Flower

Flower, or bud, is the most popular form of cannabis consumed due to its availability, potency, and convenience. Cannabis can be consumed in many ways and has the most variety in terms of strain types. Flower can be rolled into joints, packed into pipes, and vaporized in a variety of devices. Consumers should be aware of the potential risks of smoking, and should take proper precautions to ensure their safety.

Edibles

Edibles are food products that are infused with cannabis. There are many forms of edibles such as cookies, brownies, gummies, chocolate, etc. Edibles are an excellent form of ingesting cannabis for users that prefer not to smoke/vape cannabis. However, this method proves to activate slower than other delivery methods, so dosing correctly is very important.

Concentrates

Concentrated cannabis comes in the forms of cartridges, wax, extracts, shatter, oils, etc. Concentrates are made from extracting active compounds from the cannabis plant using solvents like CO2, butane, or ethanol. Methods of consumption for concentrates include dapping, smoking, and vaping. Concentrates are typically more potent than other forms of cannabis and should be used with caution, especially to newer consumers.

Topicals

Topicals are products that are directly applied to the skin. Topicals come in the forms of lotions, creams, balms, etc. This form of cannabis is intended to help with localized pain, inflammation, or other skin conditions. Cannabis topicals do not provide the user with psychoactive effects. Topicals are the best option for users who want the health benefits of cannabis without the psychoactive effects of other methods.

Strains

Terpenes

Terpenes are natural compounds found in a wide range of plants, including cannabis. They are responsible for giving cannabis its unique aroma and flavor, and may also provide health benefits.
