You have options when it comes to cannabis consumption. Cannabis edibles are a frequent choice. And vaping cannabis oil is the trendy method of the moment.
But smoking cannabis flower remains by far the most popular pick.
This is largely due to of speed of effect and dosage control. When smoking cannabis flower, you feel the effects almost immediately. And the number and size of hits make it easy to determine the strength of the effects.
With cannabis edibles, however, it can be an hour or more before you feel anything. And even though most cannabis edibles include dosage guidance, variables like body weight, muscle mass, and when you last ate can all impact the effects.
Vaping cannabis oil is similar to smoking cannabis flower in terms of speed of effect and dosage control. But you can’t judge the quality of cannabis oil as readily as with cannabis flower. The color and appearance of THC crystals along with the smell of cannabis flower speaks volumes about its overall quality. But with cannabis oil, you must take the manufactures word for it when it comes to the effects and dosage strength.
Of course, when selecting cannabis flower, you have a TON of choice. There are countless strains. And many reputable brands. But strain selection is a matter of the desired effect. Brand selection, however, comes down to picking a quality product you can trust.
And to offer some guidance on this front, here are 5 of the top cannabis flower brands currently on the market…
