Smoking cannabis properly is a skill that you need to learn and practise in order to get the most out of it. There are several factors to consider, including the type of cannabis, the style of smoking and variations such as pipes, bongs and vaporizers.
First and foremost, you need to make sure that you have quality cannabis. It should be green and aromatic with healthy, crystal-like trichomes. Check for the absence of mould or contaminants.
Different types of cannabis require different techniques for inhaling. Fruity or floral strains that produce thick smoke need to be consumed with smaller puffs. Pungent, earthy strains can be inhaled with longer, more powerful pulls. As well as this, the size of the hit matters too – smaller, short tokes will produce a lighter, more subtle effect, while larger, longer draws will give a bigger hit and produce a more intense high.
The standard method of inhaling cannabis smoke is using a joint or a blunt. There are a few tips to follow when smoking this way:
• Make sure the joint is rolled evenly so that the paper burns evenly.
• Don’t pack the joint too tightly or the smoke won’t draw.
• Allow yourself enough time to take a good draw and make sure not to over-inhale.
• Don’t draw too fast as this can lead to throat irritation.
• If it’s your first time, take very small puffs and adjust accordingly.
• When you’re finished, don’t ever crush the roach into your palm – the open flame from the cherry can cause serious burns.
Pipes and bongs are also popular methods for inhaling cannabis. Although different devices may require different techniques, there are some basic steps you want to follow.
• Start by packing the bowl with a small layer of cannabis (approx one gram ).
• Make sure to tamp down the weed lightly and evenly with your finger.
• Keep your ember away from the bowl and take slow, steady puffs giving the weed time between pulls to re-heat.
• Don’t draw too hard, smoke should enter the mouth steadily, without the need to force it.
• When you see smoke coming out of your mouth, this is your cue to take a deeper, longer draw.
• Make sure to clear the chamber of all smoke before you pass the pipe or bong to the next person.
Vaporizers are quickly becoming one of the most popular ways to consume cannabis. This is due to the fact that vaporizing cannabis produces a much cleaner, more flavoursome hit than smoking. Here are a few tips for the best vaping experience:
• Start by setting the temperature – this can vary depending on the type of vaporizer, so make sure to read the instructions.
• Grind your cannabis and make sure to pack it tightly – this way, the heat will be distributed more evenly throughout the bowl.
• Hold the vape approximately two inches away from your mouth, and slowly inhale, concentrating on the flavour and texture.
• Take several slow, steady puffs and then stop before you don’t feel any more effects.
• Finally, make sure to clean the vaporizer regularly and replace the screen when necessary.
All in all, when it comes to smoking cannabis there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Make sure to experiment with different techniques, strains and devices to find what works for you. Dedicate time and practice to inhale properly, focus on how the smoke feels and the flavours, and take small and regular draws for a better experience. Enjoy!
