How does the device you use to smoke marijuana affect your buzz? Given that cannabis users are resourceful, inquisitive folks, it should not be surprising that a lot of people have pondered this question. The answer: no one is exactly sure. There has apparently been only one scientific study on the subject. Though the results were inconclusive, due largely to the prevalence of variables, the study has sparked an ongoing conversation among experts and consumers.

Ways to Smoke Medical Marijuana

Most methods for smoking cannabis have been around forever, whether rolled paper, water pipes, or a dry pipe. Each of these systems delivers different types of highs, depending on the smoker, the type of product, and the environment in which the product is consumed. And now, given the heightened awareness of the medical and beneficial psychoactive properties of marijuana, how people are consuming their cannabis may depend on why they are using these products in the first place.

Let’s take a look at some smoking options to see the differences in designs and the kind of high they deliver.

Dry Cannabis Pipes

Because cannabis and humans have lived in harmony for thousands of years, paraphernalia first evolved centuries ago. According to an article in National Geographic, a recent archeological find shows that 2500 years ago, on a high plateau along the Silk Road, people ingested a strain of cannabis, heated with stones. And for centuries, pipes were the primary means of smoking cannabis. Cannabis pipes have always been the most efficient and portable method of smoking marijuana, whether constructed from clay, wood, or a Bic pen and tin foil.

Fortunately, the times they are a-changin’. Many online head shops offer far-out designs made with glass, silicone, and metal. In addition to conventional devices, many smokers who prefer the convenience of dry pipes favor specialized options, including chillums and the beloved camouflaged cigarette one-hit. The efficiency of the delivery system and the ability to easily regulate the quantity consumed allow the smoker to maintain a consistent high.

Water Pipes

In so many ways, the bong is the equivalent of Michael Jackson’s Thriller album: it set the tone for everything that has come since, it’s a design of undeniable genius, and it has been improved upon but never replaced. The bong has long been the centerpiece of many a social gathering. They are festive, functional, and a time-honored object of innovation and creativity. The process of delivering a single hit of cannabis through water into the lung remains the most efficient smoking method and is generally the choice of those seeking an intense high.

Roll Your Own Joints

For a lot of people, there is no substitute for a joint. Many people either prefer the ease and portability of rolled smoking products like a joint or a blunt and others simply don’t like smoking out of a pipe. Learning to roll a joint is a right of passage. And the DIY nature of preparation adds to the satisfaction of the smoking experience. Enhancing this long-time tradition is the introduction of rolling accessories, including blunt wraps, filters, and glass tips, which mellow out some of the harsher aspects of smoking through paper.

It’s What Goes Into Your Device That Matters

In the end, individuals will choose the device that works best for them. What’s more important is that smokers take advantage of the innovations in cultivation that enhance the smoking experience. The expansion of decriminalization and legalization laws has led to a Renaissance in research into how to engineer strains of cannabis to improve their medicinal and psychotherapeutic properties.

In addition to the manipulation of the organic structure of cannabis, including, terpenes, cannabinoids (CBNs), and cannabidiol (CBD), experts are experimenting with hybrid products combining other organic therapeutics, including kratom, which some experts are promoting.

Get Help With Cannabis

If all of these options seem overwhelming, you may want to reach out to a health coach, like Dr. Michele Ross, who can guide you to the products that are right for you, including newer options like vaporizers.

Happy International Women's Day to all the women c Happy International Women's Day to all the women crushing it despite getting less pay, less startup funding, less everything when it comes to business. Let's do more than recognize women.
In 2023, it's time to:
*Buy from women-owned businesses
*Give women a seat at the table, preferably the board
*End all male speaking panels
*Invest in women startups, including those focused on serving women
*Include more women in clinical trials
*End toxic work cultures
*Support paid maternity leave policies
*Fill the wage gap between men and women
*Donate to nonprofits serving women
*Let women take time off of work for painful periods without stigma or penalty
*Work harder to specifically include and apply all of these principles to women from marginalized groups such as black women, disabled women, LGBTQ women, and females identifying as nonbinary, genderfluid, or genderqueer.
And so. much. more.

No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children No one is giving $2 w🌱🌱d gummies to children trick or treating on Halloween. Those reports you hear on the news simply aren’t true! ⁣
⁣
However, if you are attending a Halloween party for adults, ask if the candies, goodies, or drinks are special or infused! Edibles are more common at parties as an alternative to alcohol, especially in states where the plant has been legalized for both recreational & medical use.⁣
⁣
If you’re not used to consuming, try a small piece or half a piece, drink plenty of water, and make sure you have a safe place to sit if needed. And always call a rideshare aka Uber or Lyft home!⁣
⁣
Happy Halloween! 🎃💀👻⁣

⁣
Which is your favorite Medicinal Mushr00m?⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It's more important than ever to take mushr00m supplements. Here's a little about how my favorite four mushr00ms work:⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Lion’s Mane Mushr00ms: great for improving focus and memory. Lion's mane promotes neurogenesis, or birth of new brain cells.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Cordyceps Mushr00ms: great for fighting fatigue and increasing length of your workouts. It's especially helpful for fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue patients.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Turkey Tail Mushr00ms: great for supporting your immune system. Clinical trials have looked at its role in fighting cancer.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Reishi Mushr00ms: what can't the queen of mushr00ms do? It fights cancer, boosts the immune system, improves mood, levels blood sugar, and promotes heart health.⁣⁣

9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a da 9/20 is National Magic Mushr00m Day. Why have a day to celebrate them?
Well in the United States & many parts of the world, they are still illegal, similar to another misunderstood therapeutic green plant we celebrate on 4/20. 
I've worked hard over the years in Denver & many other states to help decriminalize shr00ms and help people access information on how to use them for medical, spiritual, and stress relief purposes. I suggest following @decriminalizenature & @doubleblindmag for deeper info.
How are you celebrating today? ❤️ 🍄 ❤️

I’m not the only one, right? 😜 👩🏻‍🔬 💚
As a neuroscientist, I put out the first book on the potential causes of endocannabinoid deficiency and how to balance your ECS with or without plant medicine. 
From stress to medications to diet to your genes, there are so many ways your ECS go go haywire. The fact that so many people respond to plant medicine is likely because so many of us have severe imbalances.
