Smoking: Time-Tested Tradition

Joint and Blunt

One of the most iconic methods of smoking cannabis is using a joint, which is rolled with rolling papers, or a blunt, which uses cigar paper.

This method allows for a rapid onset of e­ffects as cannabinoids are directly inhale­d, making it a popular choice among recreational users.

Using pipes and bongs provides a convenient and efficient means of consuming cannabis. Pipes offer a compact and use­r-friendly option, while bongs utilize wate­r filtration to cool and purify the smoke, resulting in a smoothe­r inhaling experience.

Vaporization: A Healthier Alternative
