Getting started with cannabis
Before you get started – or begin a new treatment method – it’s important to work with a registered caregiver. Then, you’ll be given recommendations for the medication that not only best fits your symptoms or illness, but also the best dosage for that particular method.
Use of medical marijuana for the first time (or use of a new method for the first time) is always best done beginning with a lower dosage in order to find your ideal dosage amount.

1. Flowers
Marijuana flowers – or the leafy form of the plant – can be smoked or turned into a concentrate or edible. This popular form of cannabis gives users a great deal of versatility in the way they choose to consume it. Strains of flowers include indica, sativa, and hybrids.
2. Non-Medicated & CBD
CBD – or Cannabidiol – is extracted from the marijuana plant, but contains no THC, like medicated cannabis. CBD has the ability to provide relief from many similar health issues and ailments as medical cannabis, but does not give the user the same “high.” CBD comes in a variety of delivery forms, which can be personalized to the user, including vaporizers, edibles, topicals, tinctures, and more.
3. Infused Edibles
Edibles are another popular way to take medical cannabis. The forms of edibles are truly endless – from gummies to brownies and cake pops to hard candy, lollipops, and chocolate bars. Patients can try their favorite forms and work with caregivers to find the best fit.
4. Concentrates
Concentrates, as the name suggests, are a highly concentrated form of medical marijuana, which can be smoked or vaporized. These concentrates are made from separating the plant’s trichomes (crystals on the flower, leaf, and stalk), which result in the highest concentration of THC. Less is more when it comes to concentrates, so remember that a little will go a long way.
5. Distillates
Another (even more refined) concentrate is the distillate. With 99% purity, this form of cannabis is not only potent, but also very versatile. Patients can use distillates through vaporization, edibles, topicals, and more.
6. Vaporizers
Cannabis vaporizers – like cartridges and pens – give users a little more peace of mind than traditional smoking. Vaporization allows the THC or CBD to release from the product without other harmful particulates.
7. Infused Non-Edibles
Infused non-edible cannabis products, like topicals and creams, are absorbed through the users skin to treat specific areas for relief. Specifically, these delivery methods are helpful for patients who suffer with localized pain and inflammation.
With so many forms and ways to consume medical marijuana, it’s important to work with your caregiver to find what works best for you. Learn more about the options by shopping online now.
