The West Virginia marijuana program continues to expand as more dispensaries open up across the state. There are so many options available for individuals with their medical marijuana card, but in this article we are going to take it back to basics.
Many patients are already familiar with smoking cannabis, as it is one of the most popular ways to consume cannabis. Smoking flower has many benefits over other consumption methods.
Marijuana flower in its purest form is the most natural way to consume your medicine. Edibles, tinctures, vape cartridges and more are also available, but they all contain other additives. If you enjoy the peace of mind that comes with natural medicine, flower is the best option for you.
Benefits of Smoking Cannabis
Smoking marijuana offers numerous benefits over other methods. First of all, it has the ability to produce almost immediate effects and relief for patients. Many patients will feel the “high” or relief within seconds or minutes after smoking.
Smoking also offers a considerably precise dosage. If you are new to smoking cannabis, we recommend keeping a dosage journal to keep track of how much marijuana you should consume to feel the desired effects. This can be done easily with smoking.
There are also a large variety of devices available for smoking cannabis, including bongs, bubblers, pipes, and more! Usually, people who are experienced with smoking have a favorite consumption method.
One downfall to smoking your cannabis is that it is known to irritate a person’s throat when they inhale the smoke, leaving patients with an unpleasant burning sensation. Choosing a bubbler or bong may be less harsh on your lungs than other methods; the smoke will cool down in the water before it hits your throat which can make for a much smoother hit.
Types of Cannabis Flower
Some people who smoke medical marijuana enjoy the high that often comes with their medicine. However, some patients may not want to feel “high” and are primarily looking for relief.
The great thing about cannabis flower is that it comes in many different forms, including different contents of THC. THC is the psychoactive ingredient in marijuana, and lower THC marijuana flower allows users to avoid the high if they want to.
The higher the THC content, the more effects you will experience in general. High THC cannabis flower typically contains over 20% and up to 35% THC. On the flip side, low THC flower usually contains between 12 to 20% THC and are often found with higher percentages of CBD.
Low THC flower is great for new patients who want to ease into their medicine and patients who have not built up a tolerance to THC who may want to start slow.
On the other hand, high THC is great for more experienced marijuana users who enjoy the high associated with the medicine.
