There is still much stigma and misinformation surrounding cannabis, which is why North Shore Cannabis is determined to continue educating our consumers on safe cannabis consumption. Gone are the days when smoking was the only option for inhalation and if you are uncomfortable with smoking, consider trying these 5 different ways to explore cannabis.

Edibles

Edibles are prepared using a variety of plant materials and are often rich in cannabinoids and are ingested through the mouth. Cannabinoids are powerful chemical compounds found in cannabis which provide a range of therapeutic effects. Every person is different and what works for one person may not work for another, so it is always important to remember to err on the side of caution when trying out edibles. Try our delicious salted caramel chocolate square for a delicious and discrete way to enjoy.  

Vaping

Have you tried or all in one portable smoking system? If you do not enjoy smoking, vaping can be a good alternative where you inhale heated oil through a vaporizing device. It is important to understand the amount of cannabis you are using as vaping can be a more potent delivery system than smoking. You will most likely get more high from vaping than from smoking as you are consuming a concentrated form of cannabis. 

Topicals

Topicals do not have to be physically ingested so they are a great option for anyone wanting to avoid edibles or inhalation. Majority of topicals contain little to no THC so it is also a good choice for those with a low THC tolerance or for those who are avoiding THC altogether. Topicals can be felt as soon as the first 5 minutes or as late as 2 hours after application. The effects can last well over 12 hours and are sometimes used for localized pain and muscle relief.  Try our feelgood CBD Facial Rejuvenating Cream that has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties for the skin

Brewed Cannabis

Cannabis infused tea is on the rise, where you can actually drink some tea to feel the effects of cannabis. Levels of THC will depend on individual preparation techniques involving volume, the amount of cannabis and the boiling time. If brewed tea isn’t for you, shop our Summit Lemonade Iced Tea for a refreshing taste. 

Take a Bath

Cannabis infused bath salts and bath bombs are becoming increasingly common where you simply take a bath to enjoy the effects of THC and CBD. Cannabis bath accessories are a good option for muscle and pain relief, as users often report feeling more relaxed and calm. We love the Nuance CBD Bath Bomb in grapefruit!
