Smoking vs. Edibles

Edibles are great for people who are looking to take the edge off, looking for a pain reliever/ sleep aid or just want a casual relaxed night in with a good movie. The benefits of using edibles are that they do not require and smoke inhalation, and are a discrete option for regular indulgers.

We already know that there is a wide array of options available to individuals with different needs and preferences; smoking and ingesting being the two most common methods of consumption. Now everyone has unique preferences of how they would like to partake but for now, let’s check these out! If you are trying to figure out which is best for you, here are some tips to lead you to the right decision for you. The pro’s of smoking include but not limited to...(since everyone has their own preference)

Although smoking anything isn’t considered a healthy option, a great alternative is vaping which eliminates damage from regular smoke and the chemicals being released from regular smoking. Smoking differs from edibles in that you receive an instant high and a quick come down. Most smokers also enjoy the activity of preparing their Bud and tasting the flavorful terseness being emitted as you light up. Smoking may be the right option for you if you remember a few things...

You will most likely have a potent scent coming off you, and you do not mind continuing your doses throughout the day. And don’t forget others around you! People these days are very aware of second-hand smoke so always stay considerate of your peers! Now, edibles tend to scare people, but they seem to be on the rise lately as people have become educated on proper use and dosing. Edibles are not limited to baked goods.

THC butter, oil, and tinctures can be added to pretty much anything you are consuming. The trick with edibles is you have to really do your research before you add any form of THC to what you are consuming. There are tons, and I mean tons! Of detailed instructions, videos, and all sorts of other data on the web and/ or paperback options if you are looking to try it out yourself. Edibles are great for people who are looking to take the edge off, looking for a pain reliever/ sleep aid or just want a casual relaxed night in with a good movie.

The benefits of using edibles are that they do not require and smoke inhalation, and are a discrete option for regular indulgers. Now, a lot of people are still nervous to take edibles because of the many horror stories they have heard or been a part of themselves. People make one common mistake- do not take more if you are not feeling it yet! The most common form of edibles is baked goods, so whatever it may be, split it into bite-sized pieces and only take one. I repeat, only take one. If it seems it is not working in a couple of hours, keep waiting! Most of the time the body high starts to hit you as soon as you decide to eat that second piece and before you know it its too late to turn back and a wave of panic comes over you.

Now, this is not how it needs to be as long as you take small amounts and stick to it. If you are curious to make your own oils and/or add it to whatever you may be cooking or baking, you should definitely look up appropriate recipes and dosing amounts in order to not overdo it. If you choose that edibles are the right fit for you, ensure you do not have to operate motor vehicles for the rest of the day as the high can last anywhere from 4-6 hours or even longer, depends on the individual. If you are interested in making your own or want to share a great recipe check DIY. Whether smoking or edibles is the right choice for you, remember to always stay safe and have fun!
