Marijuana Products You Can Order From Dispensaries

Medical marijuana has proven its usefulness to people suffering from painful conditions, but many assume that smoking the weed is the only way to benefit from it—definitely untrue. There are several ways patients could gain the benefits without lighting up.

Here are some examples:

• Marijuana Vaporizers. Just like a normal steam vaporizer, a marijuana vaporizer slowly heats up the cannabis. Combined with water, this creates a vapor that can fill up a room. Patients can inhale the vapor, producing the same effects as smoking a joint, but without the harmful effects associated with smoking or smoke inhalation.
• Marijuana Edibles. Medical marijuana can also be eaten. When mixed with brownies and other baked goods, its effects become stronger and last longer. Remember, though, that you can’t eat them all in one go; pace yourself. Be careful to monitor how much you eat; it’s easy to over-consume and end up with other side effects, if any.
• Marijuana Topicals. Arthritis and joint pain can be directly treated by topical creams. Marijuana used this way does not have the same psychoactive effects, but is a great analgesic and anti-inflammatory. Just rub the cream on the affected area to have it do its magic.
• Marijuana Tea. Since eating marijuana is possible, you can drink it, too. Cannabis leaves steeped in hot water dissolve the THC in the water. This results in tea that has the same effect as a whole joint.

You can buy these products from local dispensaries or order them online.
