Cannabis is finally being decriminalized in more and more places around the world. And for very good reasons! Compared to other legal drugs such as alcohol, cannabis is pretty mild and most users enjoy it without issue. But there’s a dark side for some. So let’s take an honest look at some of the latest research together.

    My problem with eating it is the lack of actual recipes or know-how, almost every tutorial says to make oil or butter but I don’t really like the idea of heating them twice (one to mix with the weed, a second time to cook). Cannabic milk is a decent alternative, baking is expensive (at least where I’m from), same for candies.

    Sometimes I just add it to my food before reheating in the microwave and it works, but I know it isn’t ideal.

    There’s also vaping… But it’s fucking expensive over here, also making more trash with the batteries (even if can be recharged) and the induction heated ones are extremely expensive… Like… No.

    My bong might not be the healthiest option with all the smoke, but for now it’s the middle ground for me until marketing allows cheaper alternatives

      You need something to extract the THC from the cannabis, and that’s oil or milk (fats). So unless you put said oil in capsules, you kinda need to take it as is or add it to something else to make it palatable.

      It would also be heating it 3x. Decarb, extract, bake.

      I sometimes just drop some canna butter in tea.
