\u201cWhatever happened to just good ol\u2019 fashion weed?\u201d<\/p>\n

Well, it got better. Cannabis, especially with more and more states legalizing recreational use, has expanded beyond what many people grew up thinking it was. Cannabis oils, while not necessarily a totally new development, has increased in popularity over the years. If you\u2019re not familiar, don\u2019t worry. This guide will teach you everything you need to know about cannabis oil, how to use it, and where to start. But first things first, let\u2019s go through some of the basics\u2026<\/p>\n

What is Cannabis Oil?<\/h1>\n

As the name implies, cannabis oil is substance extracted from cannabis plants. It\u2019s 100% natural, no chemicals added. It\u2019s sticky and gooey, much like sap you\u2019d find in a tree. As a concentrated form of THC or CDB, cannabis oil is one of the most potent forms of marijuana. Because of this, they\u2019re often used for medicinal purposes to alleviate pain especially in cancer treatments.<\/p>\n

As science has gotten more advanced, so have cannabis oils. Whereas it used to be around 15% THC<\/a>, you can now get numbers as high as 90%. Whether you\u2019re using for medicinal or recreational reasons, cannabis oil has become a popular route for many. Not just for its potency, but for the wide array of uses and ways to use it. Not everyone wants to smoke flowers or roll a joint. For that, and many other reasons, cannabis oil can be a great alternative for people wanting to use cannabis without smoking. The methods vary, letting you choose which is best for you. Let\u2019s take a look at few.<\/p>\n

Topicals<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Essentially, topicals are anything you\u2019d put on your skin that\u2019s infused with cannabis oils. This could be a lotion, a balm, or just straight oil that you rub into your skin. What makes topicals so appealing is how they can directly address soreness and pain. Just simply rub the topical into wherever you\u2019re aching and you\u2019ll find fairly rapid and long-lasting relief. Using a topical typically won\u2019t get you high, which can often be a benefit. Since they aren\u2019t entering your bloodstream, you can take care of your pains with a topical and not have to worry about your sobriety. Think of topicals as a therapeutic rather than a psychogenic. They can also help reduce swelling and inflammation. Really, topicals are one of the most practical uses of cannabis that won\u2019t interfere with your day-to-day.<\/p>\n

Topicals are not, however, boring. Just like their are numerous strains of cannabis flowers, topicals come in all sorts of varieties and flavors. Want a blueberry kush balm? You can find that. It\u2019s all just a matter of deciding what\u2019s right for you.<\/p>\n

Vape Cartridges <\/strong><\/h2>\n

You\u2019ve likely seen a lot of different vape stores around town or in news headlines, but that type of vape is very different animal. Those are much more in line with e-cigarettes, giving an alternative to tobacco. They often contain nicotine, but not always. Cannabis vape cartridges do, however, function somewhat similarly.<\/p>\n

Vape cartridges require the use of a vaporizer pen \u2013 a small, cylindrical device that looks like, well, a pen. It\u2019s convenient enough to fit into your pocket, making it portable and functional. The pen itself is fairly useless without two things: a charge in an outlet and cartridge. Your pen will heat up the cartridge somewhere between 284 and 446 degrees Fahrenheit \u2013 any hotter than that and the oil would combust. This turns the oil into vapors and you\u2019ll inhale through the end. Some vaporizers will let you choose what temperature you burn your oils, also determining how much of the cannabis you burn. More heat means more cannabis.<\/p>\n

Vape cartridges are often odorless or flavored. You won\u2019t stink up the house using a vape pen, which is one of its strongest selling points. Many consumers will often pick the pen over traditional cannabis just for that reason. It\u2019s much easier to carry with you and have at the ready. For someone who has chronic pain, being able to carry a cannabis vape pen with them alleviates the stress of having to find a proper space to ingest cannabis. There\u2019s a range in quality of pens as well. You can go for a basic model, which typically won\u2019t give you much of a choice in terms of temperature, or you can go with something that truly helps you customize your experience. You can choose everything from size, color, and different settings.<\/p>\n

Smoking, even cannabis, will have an effect on your lungs. Vaping cannabis oils doesn\u2019t completely remove those risks, but by inhaling vapor instead of smoke you\u2019re making things a lot easier for your respiratory system. Vaping also ensures that you\u2019re getting pure cannabis and not other elements mixed in with the smoke, giving you a better and purer high. Not just that, but they can be more cost effective as well. There are a few upfront costs, especially if you\u2019re committing to a high end vape pen, but you might find cartridges last you longer than flowers or pre-rolls, especially if you\u2019re a frequent smoker. Cartridges will cost you more than the typical gram, but you won\u2019t have to keep running back to the store or dispensary for more as often.<\/p>\n

Dabbing<\/strong><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve heard anything about dabs before, it likely has to do with the intensity. It\u2019s a newer method for ingesting cannabis, developed within the last decade, but it\u2019s already taken notice from outlets as large as The New York Times<\/a>. So, what\u2019s the buzz all about?<\/p>\n

Dabs are concentrates made from cannabis oils. It\u2019s cannabis distilled to it\u2019s highest percentage of THC, often between 80-90%. That means you\u2019re going to have a much more intense experience than smoking or even vaping. For a simplified version of weed, dabbing can be surprisingly complex. It needs to be facilitated with a few tools, including: a water pipe, a torch, a dome, a glass nail that fits in your water pipe, and a metal dabber. When you\u2019re dabbing, it\u2019s best to veer toward being cautious. You don\u2019t need much concentrate at all, average doses look like the size of pocket lint. A little goes a long way. You\u2019re encouraged to sit as well \u2013 this can be a really intense experience.<\/p>\n

Dabbing is one of the most efficient ways of consuming cannabis and it can be the best way for immediate pain relief. However, you should always exercise caution with dabbing. Dabbing will often heightened your heart rate even more than typical with cannabis and can exacerbate symptoms like paranoia and hallucinations. If you\u2019re trying dabbing for the first time, do it with someone who\u2019s familiar with the process.<\/p>\n
