Education & Information On How To Safely Consume Recreational & Medical Cannabis
‘Marijuana’ – also called weed, herb, grass, pot, ganja, etc. – is dried flower made from the buds and leaves of the cannabis plant. It can be smoked, rolled, or infused into foods, drinks, and topicals. The main psychoactive chemical in cannabis is THC, or delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol. The plant also contains other compounds called cannabinoids that produce an array of beneficial effects. Treat this section as a new user guide for legal cannabis.

Marijuana Consumption Methods
Inhalation
By far the most popular methods of consumption are joints and blunts: flower that is ground up and rolled in a joint paper or tobacco paper. Pick up a pre-roll from us for a convenient, ready to go package, or grab some papers and roll your own.

• Peak effect: 15-30 minutes
• Duration: 2-4 hours
Oral
Edibles (cannabis-infused food and drinks) are metabolized by your liver, and therefore have a delayed but longer lasting effect. Start with only 1 to 5mg per serving and wait 30 minutes before consuming more. A common mistake is eating too much before starting to feel the effects.
• Peak effect: 2-4 Hours
• Duration: 5-10 hours
Topical
Topicals are applied to your skin and processed through your bloodstream. They usually yield a milder high and can provide relief to sore or tight areas.
• Peak effect: 2-4 Hours
• Duration: 3-6 hours
Sublingual
Sublinguals such as tinctures are administered under the tongue and held for some time before swallowing. They get absorbed into the bloodstream for faster acting relief. This method works quicker than edibles but slower than joints, blunts, or bongs.
• Peak effect: 30 min.
• Duration: 3-8 hours
Bong or Pipe
A popular method of consuming cannabis is to use a water pipe or piece that is made from glass, ceramics, or plastic. A bong (or bubbler) is a pipe which usually has a water chamber for smoke filtration. Learn more about bongs here: https://thehighco.co.za/bong-101-guide/
• Peak effect: 10-30 minutes
• Duration: 2-4 hours
Dabbing
Smoking vaporized concentrate by heating up a nail and inhaling the vapors produced is called ‘dabbing’. It is generally advised to start with a very small amount, because the effects of dabbing are stronger and more acute than the effects of smoking flower.
• Peak effect: 1-10 min.
• Duration: 3-6 hours
