Cannabis consumption is one of the most popular activities in the world today. With legalization happening all across America, it’s not surprising that people are looking for new ways to enjoy their favorite herb.
Cannabis consumption has exploded in popularity over the past few years with many new and exciting ways to consume now on the market. What are your favorite cannabis consumption methods? Are you a joint smoker or do you prefer edibles and concentrates? Do you like smoking out of a pipe, dabbing, vaping, or using a bong? Let’s take a look at some of the most popular cannabis consumption methods in 2021.
Vaping
Do you enjoy a relaxing vape with your friends? Or are you more of a smoke-on-the-go kind of person? Vaping fast became a preferred method of consumption among those that want to enjoy the benefits of smoking cannabis but without the smoke. And of course, cloud chasing is a trend that many have caught on to. Vaping offers a variety of options in terms of both desktop and portable vaporizers, as well as those that are specifically designed for dry herbs. In an ever-evolving industry, the options are endless, and it all comes down to personal choice, but the ease and convenience that vaporizers offer have propelled these devices to the top of many consumers’ lists.
Dabbing
Dabs are highly potent doses of cannabis that are made by extracting THC and CBD with different solvents such as butane. It requires that the extraction be heated on a hot surface and then inhaled using a dab rig, or a nail as it is called on the streets. Dab rigs, and even electric dab rigs from Grasscity, have increased in popularity over the last few years. Dabs are referred to by a variety of terms including budder, butane hash oil, or wax, and it is a well-loved method of consumption because the high levels of THC in dabs enable a super high, super-fast.
Smoking
There is no doubt that smoking has and probably always will be one of the most common and preferred methods of consumption. One only has to take a look at the legends to see how the trend was set, and the connotations attached to it to understand. The hand pipe is probably the most common device for smoking today and has evolved into an artistic expression, however, the good old joint is a favorite for most, and given the accessories such as personalized rolling paper that go with it, die-hard fans are unlikely to stop smoking it any time soon. There are also other methods such as a water pipe and hookah, and yes, people in desperate situations will even resort to making their own home devices.
Eating and drinking
The well-known pot brownie or space cake – however you recall it – has been a favorite for years, but was never readily available and had to be manufactured at home. However, we do believe that this is what set the precedent for other cannabis edibles. Consuming cannabis edibles was made popular especially by users who did so for medical reasons. The discretion that edibles in their various forms offered afforded these users gave them the chance to experience its health benefits without having to smoke or vape it. As with the natural evolution of everything else, this soon changed, and we now have millions across the globe that have joined the edible movement because these can be taken at any time, and anywhere, and all will attest to a different kind of high from edibles. And we’re left spoilt for choice, with options from candies and chocolates to beverages such as tea and sodas. Legal dispensaries also make this so much easier for consumers by providing recommended dosages on the packaging.
There are many methods of consumption, and these are just a few of the most popular that have taken the world by storm. The long and short of it is that cannabis is here to stay, and the less stigmatized it is, the more we see consumers embracing it in every way. Some may cite smoking as an unhealthy option and look to the vape to give them the same satisfaction, but every joint lover knows that there is nothing quite like traditional smoke. As the saying goes, to each their own.
