Edibles And Topicals Are 2 Other Ways To Try Marijuana

If recreational marijuana is legal where you live, you might visit dispensaries to get your marijuana. While most people think about smoking it, there are other ways to take advantage of marijuana. So, what are some of those ways?

Edibles

One way you can ingest various strains of marijuana is through edibles. You may have heard about people talking about pot brownies, but that's not the only way that you can find edibles. Generally, edibles are little hard to judge when it comes to the effect that they will have on you because it can be hard to mix the marijuana evenly throughout the entire thing, so one bite of brownie or one sucker may be a little more potent than the next one. Edibles also generally take a little longer to take effect because they have to go through your GI tract before they can get into your blood system, so you need to be aware of that. You need to make sure that you give it some time after taking your first bite of whatever the edible is and trying some more. The effects also tend to last longer than if you were to inhale it. Edibles are a good choice if you are also trying marijuana for medical reasons because you can get longer lasting effects which can help you control whatever thing is going on in your life. 

Topicals

Another thing you can try is topicals. These are creams and salves that have had marijuana added or infused into them. You can rub them into sore areas just like you would any other muscle rub or pain relief cream. Topicals can get relief to the exact place that is bothering you without having to affect the rest of your body. For example, if you have arthritis in your knee, you might want to get a salve that you can rub on your knee when it is really bothering you. The necessary compounds from the salve will make their way into your system and help to relieve the pain right at your knee where it's bothering you. Doing it that way will make sure that you get some relief faster than other options. 

If you are wanting to try some legal recreational marijuana, there are a lot of other options open to you instead of just smoking it. That's always a good option, but having choices is always good.
