What are ways to Medicate if you don’t smoke?

Every patient has their own medicating routine. Some smoke, some dab, others take an edible or apply a tincture. Some people cannot smoke for health or personal reasons, and that’s OK! The beauty of cannabis is that it is totally up to you how you choose to consume it. The main difference between smoking compared to consuming an edible or tincture is the high.

Inhaling:

• Offers a more immediate high
• Travels to the brain quicker
• Can cause throat irritation
• High doesn’t last that long

Ingesting:

• Travels to the brain slower because it has to travel to the stomach, then the liver
• High is prolonged
