Consumption methods have changed

There are many more consumption methods for cannabis these days. Remember that the effects of marijuana can vary depending on the consumption method, the potency of the product, and the individual user. Talk to your Design 710 dispensary budtender about what products and consumption method is right for you. Always follow local laws and regulations when using marijuana.

Inhalation

There are many methods of inhalation, including bongs, pipes, and dabs, but the most popular by far are joints and blunts: flower that is ground up and rolled in a joint paper or tobacco paper. Pick up a pre-roll from us for a convenient, ready-to-go package, or grab some papers and roll your own.

  • Peak effect: 15-30 minutes
  • Duration: 2-4 hours
Oral

Edibles (cannabis-infused food and drinks) are metabolized by your liver, and therefore have a delayed but longer-lasting effect. Start with only 1mg to 5mg per serving and wait 30 minutes before consuming more. A common mistake is eating too much before starting to feel the effects.

  • Peak effect: 2-4 Hours
  • Duration: 5-10 hours
Topical

Topicals are applied to your skin and processed through your bloodstream. They usually yield a milder high and can provide relief to sore or tight areas.

  • Peak effect: 2-4 Hours
  • Duration: 3-6 hours
Sublingual

Sublinguals, such as tinctures, are administered under the tongue and held for some time before swallowing. They get absorbed into the bloodstream for faster-acting relief. This method works quicker than edibles but slower than joints, blunts, or bongs.

  • Peak effect: 30 min.
  • Duration: 3-8 hours
Bong or Pipe

A popular method of consuming cannabis is to use a water pipe or piece that is made from glass, ceramic, or plastic. A bong (or bubbler) is a pipe which usually has a water chamber for smoke filtration.

  • Peak effect: 10-30 minutes
  • Duration: 2-4 hours
Dabbing

Smoking vaporized concentrate by heating up a nail and inhaling the vapors produced is called dabbing. It is generally advised to start with a very small amount, because the effects of dabbing are stronger and more acute than the effects of smoking flower.

  • Peak effect: 1-10 min.
  • Duration: 3-6 hours
