There are many methods and products out there, but some of them can be overwhelming for beginners. The consumption of marijuana is an ancient tradition that has been practiced all over the world. The plant is gaining popularity in the United States, and it's becoming easier than ever to find different ways to consume weed. Weed can be smoked, brewed into tea, or taken orally through edibles. There are many options for beginners who want to take their first steps with cannabis but don't know where to start. This blog post is a beginner-friendly guide on how to consume cannabis and what type of methods will work best for you.

Dab Rigs

The first consumption method on this list is gaining a lot of popularity and is slowly becoming the go-to choice for marijuana enthusiasts around the world. A dab rig is a device that was created for the consumption of cannabis concentrate, even though it looks almost identical to a bong. One reason why this method is popular is that it allows people to consume high concentrations of THC in short periods of time, which is great for those who want to experience the effects of marijuana fast. The other reason this consumption method is so popular is that it is relatively easy to use; all you need to do is heat the nail, which then turns the concentrate to vapor which is then inhaled.

Bongs

Bongs are probably the most iconic marijuana consumption method and have been used for literally thousands of years. They are the simplest consumption method, and operate quite similarly to dry herb vaporizers, except they use combustion and you can’t choose a temperature. To use a bong, you simply need to grind marijuana, place it in the bowl, fill the bong with water that acts as a filtration system, light the marijuana, and then inhale the smoke. There are a variety of different designs to choose from, especially online at online stores like DankStop, and more recently bubblers have entered the market, which are basically mini bongs that offer the same functionality for half the size.

Dry Herb Vaporizers

The next consumption method has been around for quite a while, but since the legalization of marijuana has become even more popular. Dry herb vaporizers are devices that are used to consume dry herb, or flower, hence the name. This consumption method is great for beginners because of the ease of use it provides consumers, and the fact that there are many devices to choose from, so if beginners want to upgrade, they can. To use a dry herb vaporizer all you need to do is grind marijuana, place it in the chamber, select a temperature and then inhale the vapor. Some devices allow for the consumption of marijuana concentrate, and some that even allow for both to be used.

Joints

Joints are also one of the most famous marijuana consumption methods, and this is probably where most people start, simply because no fancy equipment is needed, other than rolling paper, a grinder, and marijuana. Joints offer a variety of different benefits; they can be rolled almost anywhere, the rolling paper can be stored in pockets or handbags, and more. The only thing a beginner might need to do is practice rolling the joints, which can be difficult at first. One thing that makes it much easier is to grind the marijuana properly so that it’s fine, which makes rolling much less difficult.

Edibles

Lastly, probably one of the easiest consumption methods is the edible since nothing is needed to use it because they are eaten. Edibles have always been popular, but only recently have consumers had a choice as to what forms are available; lollipops, cakes, brownies, bread, pastry, beverages, and more are now available for consumers to choose from. In addition to this, they are also one of the best consumption methods in terms of duration of effects, since once the effects kick in they last anywhere from 6 to 8 hours. More than this, they can be carried in little bags that can fit anywhere, and since only 1 is used at a time, they can last quite a while.
