These Are A Few Ways To Consume Cannabis In a Healthy Way

Updated: Oct 12, 2022

How to build healthy habits with cannabis.


Most people are aware that using cannabis is a much healthier choice than smoking cigarettes, drinking alcohol, or poppin’ pills. Weed smokers, on the other hand, engage in certain harmful behaviors in order to maintain their high.


However, studies reveal that some of these consumption methods may do more damage than benefit. Here are a few pointers on how to get high in a better manner, reduce coughing and hacking, and maintain a healthy cannabis lifestyle.


Stop holding in your hits


Even seasoned smokers claim that taking a puff and keeping it in for as long as possible will make them higher. Holding hits, on the other hand, has been demonstrated in multiple tests to have no influence on the smoker's experience. Holding in hits with a placebo cannabis, as discovered in a research by Zachny in 1991, may cause the user to feel lightheaded and disoriented, simulating the effects of cannabis. This is almost certainly due to a shortage of oxygen supply. When smoke or vapor reaches the lungs, the cannabis is absorbed relatively immediately.



Holding your hits increases carbon monoxide in the lungs without increasing the amount of THC that enters your system, just as holding your breath does not mean you absorb more oxygen.

If you insist on doing this routine, try taking your hit, thoroughly exhaling, and then holding your breath. You'll probably get the same effect, but with less coughing.






Don't smoke RESIN


Some of you are undoubtedly puking at the concept, but at least some of you are shyly recalling that time when you were out of cannabis and out of money and decided to scrape everything you could out of your pipe bowl into a mushy ball of black tar or roll the doobies out the doobie ashtray… Why you do me that way?






The black residue left on smoking pieces after burning a bowl is referred to as resin, which is not to be confused with rosin or the resinous glands of the cannabis plant. In times of extreme financial distress, some individuals resort to doobies and resin bowls to get stoned without having to purchase additional pot. Heat destroys cannabinoids, leaving only trace quantities of psychoactive characteristics in the black resin, while also exposing smokers to tars and toxic fumes that must be burned at even higher temperatures. Smoking resin will only get you a small high, but it will make you cough uncontrollably, injure your lungs, and expose you to some very filthy dirt.

Transdermal patches are the most long-lasting and probably the safest method


Most stoners are already aware that avoiding inhalation is the best approach if lung health is a concern. Edibles, tinctures, topical, and transdermal patches are all good alternatives for those who don't want to inhale smoke or vapor but still want to get stoned. Edibles give you a long-lasting, body-focused high, but they take a while to kick in. Tinctures applied under the tongue give a comparable effect and, due to sublingual absorption, might influence the consumer more rapidly. Transdermal patches are the most long-lasting, however, consumers may not feel the benefits for up to three hours after use.



Dabbing process


Vaporizing "leads to blood levels of THC equivalent to smoking a joint, but without elevating expired carbon monoxide," according to those seeking the immediacy of inhaling without the carcinogens of burning. The premise is the same regardless of how you vaporize: vaporizing warms the cannabis product to the point where it volatizes without burning.





The term "dabbing" refers to the process of heating a nail using a blowtorch (generally made from titanium, quartz, ceramic, or glass and situated where the bowl piece would be on any water rig or bong). After allowing the nail to cool to around 300-400 degrees (about 20-30 seconds after the red-orange glow fades, depending on the nail), the person dabs a small amount of concentrated cannabis extract (also known as wax, oil, BHO, shatter, and so on), that also melts into a vapor that can be cooled through water before being breathed by the consumer.


Dabs have a high concentration of cannabis, with certain extraction processes yielding oil with up to 98 percent THC, meaning that a tiny quantity may provide a massive high. Vapor is much gentler on the lungs than smoke, particularly when the dabber ensures that their nail has cooled down enough to take a low-temperature dab. If you dab too hot, you'll burn your oil, which tastes awful, burns your lungs, and destroys a lot of the cannabinoids you're attempting to absorb.






Despite its capacity to frighten newcomers, dabbing may produce even stronger highs than conventional smoking while also posing a lower risk of lung irritation if done correctly.


Quality cannabis products


There are still moments when the smoking flower is precisely what you're looking for. Contrary to common perception, smoking using a water filtration pipe or bong is not illegal. Water pipes, on the other hand, may assist reduce irritation in the lungs and throat by cooling the smoke or vapor. When it comes to smoking flower, quality is the way to go. The higher the grade of the specific marijuana terpene, the less you'll need to smoke to get the desired effect. Unless you decide to use this bad ass dry herb vape and get the full terpene effect.







It's not only about the THC percentage that determines quality! Cannabis enthusiasts understand that quality is more than just a number on a scale or a price tag. Consult your local budtender about locating the highest-quality items at the most affordable pricing.


Conclusion


Cannabis Lifestyle does not have to be expensive or harmful to your lungs. You can worry less about your lungs and more about what you're going to eat to cope with that nasty case of the munchies if you stick to these healthy smoking practices.
