In the last few years, cannabis consumption in the United States has undergone a drastic change. Just two decades ago marijuana was illegal and an underground drug; now it is legal in some states and used for medical purposes in others. Due to its prevalence and legality, more people than ever are trying cannabis for the first time or using it on a more regular basis. One might say that this is an exciting time for weed enthusiasts because there is so much variety available at their local dispensary with new strains being developed every day!
More than this, marijuana consumption methods have changed quite drastically, and many people have moved away from using the age-old tradition of rolling a joint or packing a bong. These days many consumption methods exist and are available online; there are edibles, dry herb vaporizers, dab rigs from DankStop, bubblers, one-hitters, bath bombs, and more. If you are new to the marijuana industry, or new to consuming marijuana, or simply looking for a new way to consume it, here are some of the ways to consume cannabis in 2021.
One-Hitters
One of the most popular ways to consume cannabis in 2021 is the one-hitter, and as the name suggests, this nifty little device allows you to consume small amounts of cannabis in one hit. Most one-hitters typically allow you to use 25mg in the bowl, which is perfect for those that want a quick hit on the go. There are also a variety of different styles to choose from, such as glass one-hitters that look like a glass cigarette, the chillum which was used by Hindu monks in India and are straight conical pipes, the medwakh which looks like a straight pipe with a small bowl on the top, among many more.
One-hitters provide the benefit of being discreet and easy to carry around, as well as not producing a lot of smoke, since most of it will be going into your lungs.
Bubblers
Bubblers are another creative and convenient method of marijuana consumption that has gained popularity lately. If you were to describe it simply, it would be the equivalent of a bong and spoon pipe combined, and you get the best of both worlds. Bubblers work in a very similar way to full-sized bongs; you fill the water chamber with water, pack the bowl, light, and inhale.
You might be thinking that they are similar to one-hitters, and you are probably right since they offer the same level of convenience and privacy. However, unlike one-hitters, the bowl of a bubbler can hold a lot more marijuana. This means you are gaining all the benefits of a full-sized bong, in more than half the size.
Dry Herb Vaporizers
Dry herb vaporizers have long been the favorite way to consume marijuana for many marijuana enthusiasts since they hit the market. Dry herb vaporizers are devices that allow you to consume dry herb, only they don’t use combustion as the heating method, which makes them a much healthier alternative. There are many different types of dry herb vaporizers, from desktop vaporizers for groups to dry herb pen vaporizers for those that like to consume on the go.
Portable dry herb vaporizers are the most common choice since they can hold a reasonable amount of herb, they have temperature selection settings so you can customize the effects you experience, and they allow discreet consumption on the go since there is no lingering smoke.
Bath Bombs
If you are the type of person that truly wants to relax when consuming marijuana then perhaps bath bombs are the consumption method for you. Bath bombs are relatively new to the market but have become quite popular in a short time. Basically, all you need to do is fill your bath with water, drop the bath bomb inside and then climb in. Once your skin is warm and wet, the cannabinoids are then absorbed and activate your endocannabinoid receptors.
While you might not get high, or feel strong psychoactive effects from the bath bombs, you will feel much more relaxed, calmer, and almost like you are floating. In other words, if bathing itself is a relaxing activity, bathing with bombs is even more so.
