💧 Finding Your Flow: Different Ways to Medicate with Cannabis

Hey friends, Buddy here. If you’re exploring medical cannabis, one of the first questions that always comes up is: “What’s the best way to take it?”

Truth is, there’s no single “right” way. Everyone’s body, tolerance, and goals are a little different. But if you understand how each method works, you can find the one that fits your routine and your needs.

So, let’s break it down, the Buddy way.

🌿 1. Oils — smooth, steady, and simple

Oils are one of the most popular forms of medical cannabis for a reason. A few drops under the tongue, and you’re set for steady, long-lasting relief that can last up to 6–8 hours.

Why people love it:

• Easy to measure and adjust dosage

• No smoke or vapor, discreet, and gentle

• Consistent and predictable results
  

Buddy tip: Always start low, and go slow. A couple of drops can make a big difference once it settles in.

💨 2. Vaporizers — fast and flexible

If you need quick relief from symptoms like pain, stress, or nausea, vaporizing is a solid choice. It gently heats cannabis oils or flowers without burning them, releasing cannabinoids and terpenes as a clean, breathable vapor.

Why people love it:

• Works almost instantly

• Cleaner than smoking

• Lets you control dosage puff-by-puff
  

Buddy tip: Use a quality device (like my trusty Volcano 😉) and keep it clean. You’ll taste the terpenes better and breathe easier.

🌸 3. Topicals — relief that stays skin-deep

Balms, creams, and oils infused with cannabinoids can help soothe sore muscles, inflammation, or skin irritation, without affecting your headspace.

Why people love it:

• Great for local pain and recovery

• No psychoactive effects

• Can be used alongside other methods
  

Buddy tip: Try applying after a shower when your pores are open, helps absorption and feels amazing.

🍬 4. Edibles — patience is key

Gummies, chocolates, and other infused goodies can be fun and tasty, but they take time to work. Your body needs to digest and process them first.

Why people love it:

• Long-lasting relief

• No smoke, no mess

• Great for sleep or chronic pain
  

Buddy tip:Wait at least 90 minutes before deciding to take more. They creep up on you, in a good way, if you’re patient.

✌️ Final thoughts from Buddy

The best way to medicate is the one that fits your body and your lifestyle. Some days you might prefer oil; others, a quick vaporizer session or a soothing balm. The goal isn’t to chase the strongest effect, it’s to find your balance.

Listen to your body, respect the plant, and always keep it natural. 🌿

Until next time, Buddy 💚
