Smoking is the most popular method to consume cannabis that has been in existence since ancient times. Even today, the younger population prefers smoking weed to get the therapeutic and euphoric effects of plant cannabis.

While experienced users would know all about this practice, first-timers might find it overwhelming to choose the best smoking method, but know that there is no “right” way to smoke weed. This article discusses the four most popular ways you can smoke weed.

Joints

Joints are one of the four most popular ways to smoke weed. A joint is made from stuffing crushed cannabis into a rolling paper and rolled into a cone shape. You can also choose to add a filter to prevent burning your fingers while smoking a joint. Here’s how to roll and smoke a joint:

● Crush the weed using your fingers. Make sure to take out any seeds or stem from the concentrate.

● If you want to add a filter, take a thin piece of cardboard and fit it inside the rolling paper.

● Now fill the crushed weed in a rolling paper and pinch it with your fingers, giving it a cone shape.

● Once your joint is nicely packed and rolled, you can light it up and inhale via filter paper.

Bongs

Bongs, also referred to as water pipes are another popular smoking device consisting of a bowl and a cylinder glass pipe ( known as downstem). When you hit a bong, larger hits and more smoke are produced as this device uses water to cool and filter smoke, making bongs a favorite choice of regular smokers.

Speaking of how to use a bong, start the process by filling water into the water chamber. Now fill the bowl with crushed weed. Put your mouth on the mouthpiece and light the bowl with a lighter as you slowly suck in. Once your chamber is filled with smoke, take out the bowl to inhale the smoke.

Blunts

Blunts are similar to joints but make use of blunts or cigar wraps (made of tobacco) rather than rolling papers. These are typically larger, brown in color, and last longer due to the cigar wrap, making them a perfect choice for social smoking. You do not need a lot of supplies to smoke a blunt, rather just a cigar wrap, some weed, and a lighter. A blunt allows you to burn thicker pieces of bud as a blunt is usually large and burns slowly.

Vapes

Vaping enjoys a dedicated following among the teen group of America. Young adults are more interested in vaping marijuana as it is convenient, portable, and known to be more effective than typical smoking. There are different vape devices available, some of which come in different ranges too.

Cigalikes, pod systems, vape pens, and vape mods are four common types of vape devices. These devices are battery operated and contain a coil that heats marijuana without combustion and heats to a point when the cannabis oil or concentrate converts into vapor. The best thing about vaping is that you do not need to make your joint; instead, you can puff it right from the mouthpiece.

Bottom Line

There are different ways to smoke cannabis which produce different effects on the body. If you are a first-time marijuana user, it is advised to choose your method of cannabis intake very carefully and start slowly with the dosage. Once you build the tolerance, you can gradually increase your dosage.
