Different cannabis consumption methods

The local cannabis dispensary offers a wide selection of cannabis consumption methods.

  • The most popular method is dried flower.

It can be smoked by way of a pipe, bong or vaped or rolled into a joint or blunt. Good quality buds are covered in crystal-like trichomes that provide the cannabinoids and terpenes. Vapes are designed with a chamber for dried cannabis flower or oils that release active compounds as they are heated up. There are disposable and refillable cartridges that heat the cannabis just to the point of vapor. Eliminating combustion preserves the cannabinoids and terpenes for an added boost of flavor and potency. Plus vapes minimize the inhalation of carcinogens. Edibles are cannabis-infused foods and beverages. There are gummies, chocolates, baked goods, ice cream, cooking oils, hard candies, capsules and more. They are an extremely simple consumption method and the dosages are clearly listed on the packaging. Anyone who is new to cannabis, should start with a very low dose of edibles because of the intensity and duration of effects. Cannabis concentrates and extracts are created when the excess plant material is stripped away, leaving behind the most desirable compounds. They tend to be especially potent and are available in a wide array of textures, including oil, wax, shatter, diamonds, budder and crumble. Cannabis tinctures are produced by soaking cannabis plant material in alcohol or oil and then straining it. The liquid is then placed under the tongue for quick onset of effects. They offer precise dosing, easy portability and an especially long shelf-life. Tinctures are also very versatile. They can be added to foods and beverages and consumed like an edible.

Can’t smoke my cannabis anymore due to the baby

Having a baby changes everything.

  • I still am reeling from how different my life is.

Now everything has to be scheduled. Going anywhere is kind of a big deal now. My house is a mess and I never have time to do stuff for me. I have needed to sacrifice a lot. I now work out at 7am since that is the only time my husband can take the baby during his work day. I also have a lot of downtime when I am nursing my son. I can’t work one handed. So I usually just read while I am waiting for my baby to finish. I can’t seem to clean my house, wash dishes or make dinner anymore. My son requires a lot of attention. I also have changed my diet. Since I am breastfeeding, I am aware that what I take in, so does my baby. I have cut out all chocolate, sugar and fats. I snack on nuts and fruits now. I also drink tons of water and eat a daily prenatal. What really stunk is that I had to give up my cannabis. My state is a medical mariajuana one. I have a prescription for medical cannabis. I used to vape cannabis oil in order to sleep at night. I can’t have THC and CBD in my system. That would mess my son up. So now I just don’t get to sleep as easily since I am off my cannabis. I also get up every three hours to feed my baby. I am dying here but it is necessary to keep my son healthy.

I wasn’t allowed to have an edible before

I used to live in a medical weed only state.

I had trouble sleeping at night so I went through the process to get medical cannabis.

It was time consuming and expensive. I also wasn’t thrilled that my prescription only allowed for cannabis flower. I really don’t like to smoke. I don’t like the smell of weed and that it lingers on my clothing. With a flower you need to either roll a joint, pack a bowl or mess with a hookah. It is so much work with flower. My doctor didn’t prescribe anything else. He flat out refused when I asked for an edible. So if I wanted to sleep at night, I needed to do a whole bunch of work and smoke something I really didn’t want to. It wasn’t worth it in the end. I rarely used that medical weed card. Then I moved to a recreational cannabis state. It is a whole new world. I don’t have any restrictions on the kind of marijuana I get. There are state restrictions on the amount, but I only want a little bit. The best part is that there are so many different types of edibles I can choose from now. I can get a pot brownie, cookie, gummies, mints, tablets or even a mouth spray with THC. It is so much easier and faster dosing with an edible at night. I also like that with an edible the THC immediately gets into the blood and offers a stronger benefit. It works way better than smoking a flower product.

CBD for insomnia

I have been suffering from insomnia for years. I struggle with both falling asleep and staying asleep. This affects me in my daily life because I am not able to function without a full night’s sleep. I am often cranky, forgetful, and I also get sick a lot. I would do anything to be able to get eight hours of sleep a night. I have tried prescription sleeping pills that my doctor prescribed, but the side effects are extreme for me. I get severe headaches, dizziness, and drowsiness. The scariest part is I have done things while sleeping that I do not have control over such as driving and cooking. I had to stop taking prescription pills so I did not hurt myself or others. I decided to go the homeopathic route and seek alternative care for my insomnia. I started going to acupuncture three times a week. My acupuncturist suggested that I go to a CBD store near me to purchase CBD products that will help me sleep. She explained that CBD products are natural and that they do not have the same side effects that prescription sleeping pills do. As I mentioned, I was willing to try anything to get a good night’s rest. I decided to go to a cannabis dispensary near me. When I arrived at the cannabis store, the employee was super helpful and directed me to CBD products that can help with sleep and calm. I also suffer from anxiety which does not help my insomnia. I spent about fifty dollars on various CBD products and I was hopeful that they would work. The first CBD product I tried was gummies for sleep and it actually worked.

The vape pen is easier at work

The marijuana vape pen cartridges also come in different strains like blue dream, Girl Scout cookies, and OG kush.

When I am at home, I regularly smoke marijuana out of a bowl or a bong. Smoking dry marijuana flower is probably my favorite way to enjoy the plant. Unfortunately, when I am at work in the office, I can’t smoke marijuana. I could go out to my car and get away with smoking at lunch, but the minute I come back into the building I’m going to smell like marijuana and that is going to raise a thousand flags. They drug test you for marijuana at this job, even though it is legal for medical reasons. I can still lose my job and the boss can make it a big deal if he wants to. For this reason, I do not use dried marijuana flower products at work. I do still need medical marijuana, so I carry a vape pen with me. Marijuana oil has a less pungent odor than dried flower. Marijuana oil can be vaped at a low temperature. Concentrates come in lots of different flavors and strains. The marijuana vape pen cartridges also come in different strains like blue dream, Girl Scout cookies, and OG kush. The vape pen is easier to use at work and it does not have an odor. I can even go into the bathroom and hit the marijuana vape pen a couple of times. As long as I blow out the vapor into the air, there really isn’t any way for me to get caught. So far it seems to be working really well, so I’m going to continue using medical marijuana oil pens at work.

I really needed to get an HR department

I never considered human resources a valuable part of a company.

I just didn’t want to invest the money and time into it.

If everyone gets along, what is the point of getting an HR department? I knew that there were dispensary HR services. You could hire out a human resource business partner for dispensaries. That way they are all off on their own island. I wouldn’t need to manage them or pay them like a normal worker. Years went by and I didn’t hire out for HR. I thought it was all good enough. Well I recently was in a tricky situation. I had a female budtender that was being harassed by one of my male workers. It was a lot of he said, she said. There were some hinky text messages and inappropriate things said during a break that a few people witnessed. I realized that this situation was only going to get worse if left unchecked. I knew I needed to get off my butt and onto the human resource train. I was so thankful that there is a cannabis dispensary software company that can do all of this. They found the right HR department worker and software for me. They then handled the issue with grace. Both my workers are still on staff but we have set a good precedent on what is and isn’t allowed. It is better to have someone keeping my workers in check that isn’t me. I wouldn’t want to come across as biased at all.

I discovered marijuana in my car.

I got into my car last week, and the first thing I saw was a packet under my seat.

I picked it up to see what it was, and it shocked me to see it was marijuana.

I didn’t know anyone who used marijuana, and not someone who drove my car. The only other person who took my car without permission was my mom. I knew she wasn’t using marijuana, but I had to ask. I grabbed the bag of marijuana and headed into the house. As soon as my mom saw it, she looked happy. She took it from me and asked where I found her medical marijuana. I told her it was under the seat in the car. She told me she had been to the medical marijuana dispensary a couple of days ago, and couldn’t figure out if she had left it on the counter, or lost it on the way out. After explaining how expensive medical marijuana was, she kissed me on the forehead and thanked me for finding it for her. I stood there like a fish gasping for air. She just thanked me for finding her medical marijuana, that I didn’t know she used. I followed her into the kitchen and asked when she started using medical marijuana. She looked pensive for a moment and told me it had to be shortly after her car accident. She had so much pain because of her broken pelvis that the doctor recommended it for her. Now that she was using her walker full time, she found it helped with all the pains that came from the accident and the arthritis that had set in.
