1. Inhalation
Inhalation is the most common method for the use and consumption of . This method allows
all of the compounds including the primary psychoactive constituent THC, to get absorbed
into the bloodstream via the lungs.
The period between the inhalation and the cnnabis compounds affecting the brain is almost instant.

Inhalation method is achieved in two ways primarily – Smoking and Vaping.
Smoking is basically done by lighting the cannabis flower and inhaling its smoke. There are a number
of ways to smoke . These are water pipes, pipes, blunts and joints.
Vaping is another inhaling method of consumption. Today, vaping has grown to become a
popular consumption method, all thanks to the number of technologically advanced devices
introduced in the market.
Here, the vaping device is used to concentrate the cannabis flower just below the point of combustion
or it is heated. This converts the cannabis compounds such as terpenes and cannabinoids into vapor.
This vapor is inhaled and enjoyed for recreational purposes.
2. Sublingual
Sublingual refers to under the tongue and that is exactly how cannabis is consumed in this method.
The product which is used for this method of cannabis consumption is either cannabis oil or cannabis
tincture (cannabis infused alcohol).
The user does not need to swallow the product as it naturally gets absorbed under the tongue
where it is put. You can get the effects of this method in as soon as 20 minutes.
This method does not alter any of the cannabis compounds and in fact helps in preventing any first
pass impact on the liver. The dropper used for following the sublingual cannabis consumption
method helps you in taking the right dose of tincture or cnnabis oil.
3. Oral
The sublingual method can also be considered as an oral way of consumption. However, the true oral
method of consumption may also require chewing and swallowing the product.
Edibles are the most common products for oral consumption. Here, usually a cannabis-
infused edible product is taken and the digestive tract does all the work of absorbing the
compounds.
Generally, you can get your hands on edible gummies, baked goods or beverages for oral consumption.
Since, it takes time for the digestive tract to breakdown the food components, the onset of the
cannabis effect takes time.
Compared to other consumption ways, edible oral consumption takes the most time for
effects. It takes about twenty to even three hours for the onset of cnnabis effects.
However, edibles are the most enjoyable way to consume cannabis as you can infuse the products in
your favourite edible item and munch on it easily.
4. Topical
Topical is not a highly invasive consumption method for cannabis as in this method, the user does not
directly consume the product. The topical method involves applying the infused oil, lotion
or cream on a certain body area for its soothing effect.
This method does not involve any psychoactive effects unlike other consumption methods. People
suffering from sore muscles, inflammation or any sort of skin condition can find respite from the use
of topical method of cannabis consumption.

toxic substances mixed in it. There are many scamming companies that sell fake products for
earning profits.
