What is one method of ingesting marijuana?

One method of ingesting marijuana is through eating or smoking it. This is a common and traditional way that allows the active compounds in marijuana, particularly THC, to enter the body. When smoked, the cannabinoids are absorbed quickly into the bloodstream through the lungs, leading to rapid onset of effects. Eating marijuana, on the other hand, involves incorporating it into food products, which can result in a delayed but often stronger effect due to the way the body metabolizes THC when it passes through the digestive system.

Other methods, such as injecting or applying as a cream, are less common for marijuana ingestion. Injection typically isn’t used because marijuana’s active compounds are not water-soluble and thus cannot be administered in that manner. Similarly, while topical applications like creams can provide localized effects, they generally do not produce the psychoactive effects associated with typical marijuana use, as they do not enter the bloodstream in the same way. Sniffing vapor, often associated with e-cigarettes or vaporized substances, may produce effects but isn’t classified in the same way as standard marijuana ingestion methods.
