Alternatives to herbal marijuana
Marijuana is available in several different forms, including:
Oil
A popular way of consuming marijuana is through edibles.
It is possible to extract full extract cannabis oil (FECO) from cannabis using grain alcohol or ethanol.
People usually take FECO orally and should only need small quantities to experience benefits.
CBD is another type of marijuana-based oil that is increasingly popular among people with chronic pain.
Topical treatments
People can apply lotions, balms, and salves containing cannabinoids to the skin to relieve pain and inflammation. Transdermal patches that contain cannabinoids are also available and are typically more potent than lotions and salves.
Edibles
Edibles are one of the most popular ways to use marijuana. Edibles involve infusing food, such as cookies, brownies, and candies, with the drug.
Marijuana edibles offer an easy way to take marijuana, but the effects of edibles can be difficult to predict.
Sublingual cannabis
Sublingual administration involves placing a drug under the tongue. The drug enters the bloodstream faster using this method and so it will work more quickly.
