What is the difference between medical marijuana and marijuana from the “street”?
Can I use medical cannabis if I don’t smoke?
Yes! There are many ways to use medical marijuana products, beyond smoking. Many patients find that vaporizing the flower or extract is easier on their respiratory system. There are also edible options which can be made at home, as well as topical products that can be applied directly to your skin.
What's the difference between smoking and eating marijuana?
There is a much more immediate perceived effect when marijuana is smoked or vaporized. It is easier to control dosage, because the effect is shorter lived than consuming an edible. Preparing and consuming an edible is an effective delivery method, but it takes longer for your body to feel the effects. Therefore, it is important to start with small amounts of an edible and slowly eat more over a period of time until you reach a comfortable level of desired effect.
What is the difference between CBD and THC?
Both CBD and THC are cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. When you ingest THC and CBD, the THC directly stimulates CB1 receptors, while the CBD acts as a modulating influence on the THC. Additionally, THC is psychoactive, while CBD is non-psychoactive.
