Are you a cannabis beginner and a little intimidated by the choices? Are you familiar with traditional methods such as pipes and joints but overwhelmed by modern consumption opportunities such as vaping and dabbing? Cannabis 21 Plus Dispensary is staffed by knowledgeable and approachable budtenders who are dedicated to cannabis education. We are delighted to help cannabis enthusiasts find their personal perfect fit.
Stop by any of our dispensary locations, browse and ask questions. We carry the most well-respected and sought-after brands and strains, ensuring top quality, lab-tested, safe and amazing weed. While indicas are often considered a more full-body high and sativas are associated with a cerebral high, we recommend taking a close look at the cannabinoids and terpenes. Pay attention to THC potency and familiarize yourself with the particulars of different consumption methods.
To simplify, there are three basic delivery methods. Our huge selection of colorful, flavorful, and aromatic products all fall under one of these categories: Inhalation, oral or topical.
Inhalation
Smoking the dried bud of the plant by way of a pipe, bong or joint is the most popular consumption method. Pre-rolls are simply read-to-smoke joints and blunts. Vape pens are another form of inhalation. They are very easy to use, portable, and eliminate ash, smoke, and odor. Dabbing involves heating up the concentrate and inhaling the vapor. With inhalation methods, the onset of the high is quick.
Oral
Most everyone has heard of cannabis brownies or gummies. At Cannabis 21 Plus Dispensary, we expand horizons with all sorts of cookies, chocolates, snacks, and capsules. The onset of effects takes a while but the high lasts much longer. Make sure to start with a low dose and wait for the effects to be fully realized before consuming more. Tinctures and beverages are a sublingual oral method. The cannabinoids are absorbed through the tongue for quicker effects.
Topicals
Cannabis-infused salves, lotions, balms, bath bombs, topical oils, rubs, soaps, and lip balms are applied directly to the skin for localized benefits. The cannabinoids are absorbed through the skin and won’t get you high. Application can be repeated multiple times per day and there is no maximum dosage.
The smokeable, trichome-covered bud of the cannabis plant is the most popular style of consumption. It can be smoked by way of a pipe, bowl, bong or rolled into a joint, or blunt for quick onset of effects. You can even cook with it.
Smokables that are pre-rolled are ready to consume with a flick of the lighter. They are convenient, portable, and sold in singles and packs. Their affordability provides an ideal opportunity to try something new.
Modern vapes heat up cannabis flower or concentrate to just below the point of combustion, turning the active terpenes and cannabinoids into vapor. The process is simple, and discreet and the effects kick in within 15 minutes and last from 40 minutes to 2 hours.
Cannabis-infused gummies, brownies, cookies, chocolates, and all sorts of tasty treats are simple to consume. There’s no extra gear required and the dosages are clearly provided on the packaging. However, the effects can take up to several hours to be fully realized, tend to be long-lasting and can be more intense than smoking. Start with a low dose and wait at least 24 hours before taking more.
Created by stripping away excess plant material and leaving behind the most desired compounds, this form of cannabis is typically very potent and flavor-rich. They are available by all sorts of names that generally refer to the texture, such as wax, oil, shatter, and budder.
Lotions, salves, balms, and all sorts of cannabis-infused topicals are designed to be applied to the skin. The absence of psychoactive effects allows for multiple applications throughout the day. Often infused with essential oils, topicals smell nice, absorb quickly, and are an ideal treatment for a wide range of issues such as pain, inflammation, burns, stings, bites, acne, psoriasis, and more.
Normally made from a concentrated oil or tincture, capsules target specific medicinal needs and often contain a single cannabinoid or the whole spectrum. They are extremely easy to consume, and you know the exact dosage per portion.
A few drops are placed under the tongue for a quick onset of effects. The small packaging makes tinctures portable. The included dropper allows precision dosing. Low in calories, easy to consume, and offering a long shelf-life, tinctures can also be added to foods and turned into edible.
Beverages
Cannabis-infused drinks are relatively new. They offer portability, simplicity of dosing, and a faster onset of effects than traditional edibles. Because the cannabinoids are absorbed through the mouth and under the tongue as well as by way of the digestive tract, you can expect onset between 8 and 15 minutes. Pay attention to serving size.
