Inhalation
Inhalation is one of the most common methods for consuming medical cannabis in Utah. This method involves inhaling the cannabinoids from the cannabis flower or concentrate through a device such as a pipe, bong, or vaporizer. Inhalation is one of the fastest ways to experience the effects of medical cannabis, as it enters the bloodstream quickly and can provide relief within minutes.
Edibles
Edibles are another popular way to consume medical cannabis in Utah. Edibles are food products that have been infused with cannabis, such as cookies, brownies, gummies, and more. The effects of edibles can take up to two hours to kick in but can last for several hours once they do. Edibles offer a discreet way to consume medical cannabis without having to deal with any smoke or vapor.
Topicals
Topicals are cannabis-infused creams, lotions, and balms that are applied directly to the skin. These products are designed to provide localized relief from pain and inflammation without producing any psychoactive effects. Topicals can be used on areas such as joints and muscles for targeted relief from pain or discomfort without having to ingest any cannabis products orally or through inhalation.
Tinctures
Tinctures are liquid extracts of cannabis that can be taken orally by placing a few drops under the tongue or mixed into food or beverages for consumption. Tinctures offer an easy way to dose medical cannabis accurately and consistently while avoiding any potential negative side effects associated with smoking or vaping marijuana products. Additionally, tinctures have been found to be more effective than other forms of ingestion due to their higher bioavailability and faster onset time when taken sublingually (under the tongue).
