There’s more than one way to spark a vibe.
So you’ve decided to dip your toes into the world of cannabis. Welcome aboard! Whether you’re here to mellow out, lift off, or just get a better night’s sleep—there’s a method for that. Let’s break it down without getting all science-y on you.
1. Smoking (aka the OG)
Roll it. Pack it. Light it. Inhale. Smoking flower is the most old-school way to enjoy cannabis. Expect faster effects, but they don’t always stick around long. Check out all our top flower.
Good for: classic stoners, social sessions, and that ritual feel
You’ll need: pre-rolls, pipes, bongs, or your trusty lighter
2. Vaping
Less smoke, more stealth. Vaping heats cannabis just enough to release cannabinoids without combustion. It’s smooth, quick, and easier on the lungs. Check out our vapes here.
Good for: discretion, lighter hits, and casual weekday highs
You’ll need: a vape pen, cartridge, or dry herb vaporizer
3. Edibles
From gummies to brownies, edibles are delicious and deceptively powerful. Effects take longer (30 mins–2 hours), but the high can hit harder and last longer.
Good for: movie nights, deep sleep, and not making plans after
Hot tip: Start low (2.5–5mg) and wait before doubling up
4. Topicals
No high, just healing. Creams, balms, and bath bombs infused with cannabis work wonders on sore muscles, joints, or skin—but they won’t get you stoned.
Good for: post-gym aches, chill baths, and zero buzz
You’ll need: nothing but a tired body and some “ahhh”
5. Oils & Capsules
Simple, lowkey, and perfect for precision. These products are all about control—you’ll know exactly how much THC or CBD you’re taking. Effects are more subtle, with a slower onset.
Good for: daily routines, sleep support, and no-fuss wellness
Pro tip: Capsules = no taste, no mess, no problem
