HOW TO ENJOY WEED

Use a grinder or your preferred method to break up your bud. Place the ground or broken up cannabis in the bowl or end of the one-hitter. Pack the flower tight enough so that it won't fall out but not so tight that it restricts airflow. Put your lips on the mouthpiece, light the flower using a lighter or hemp wick lighter, and slowly inhale the smoke building up in the neck or chamber of the one hitter. Inhale and exhale like normal, and repeat until the bowl is thoroughly smoked.

In layman's terms, a tincture is a concoction you take by dropper or spray straight into your mouth. You can take CBD oil by putting it directly under your tongue (that part of the mouth is a capillary-rich area and so the CBD will reach your bloodstream quicker). Try dropping a dose of CBD under your tongue and holding it there for a minute before swallowing.

Dabs are super-concentrated THC (still illegal inThailand) that you smoke via a dab rig, which looks a bit like a bong. Dabbing can catapult you into the stratosphere, especially if you're not used to it. If you're new to weed smoking, do not dab. Even if you're a longtime stoner, dab safely. You've been warned.

Consuming tobacco and weed at the same time produces an unparalleled buzz, but if you're not into cigars, you probably won't be into blunts. Not my preference as well.

Once your bottle is filled with smoke, carefully unscrew the cap and put your mouth over the bottle opening. Gently push the bottle down, back into the water. As the water enters the bottle, the smoke will be pushed into your lungs. The cannabis smoke will be cool, having been filtered through the water, but it will deliver a powerful hit of THC. Gravity bongs have the potential to make even the most veteran of cannabis consumers cough, so proceed with caution!

Vaping isn't necessarily safer than smoking, so if you're concerned about your lungs, stick with tinctures or edibles. But there are other benefits to vaping, like that it's less conspicuous than smoking, and it may take less cannabis to get you high.

Homemade "special" brownies have been a classic for decades. As cannabis becomes legal around the world, though, there's more and more options for high-quality products. But edibles can be a wildcard and will impact you differently depending on tolerance and what else you've consumed that day.

So why aren't they at the number one slot? Honestly, because every time I roll and smoke a joint, I feel like I don't get the bang out of my buck as I do smoking out of glass or ceramics. Joints are perfect for when you're on the go but for home smoking, I'll stick with one of my pieces. One point for joints that's against pipes and bongs, however, is the lack of cleanup.

Pipes are wonderful because they're endlessly customizable — choose a traditional pipe or banana pipe or anything in-between — and easy to use. It's also not as ripe for sharing as a joint is. If you smoke a joint in front of others, it'll be hard to deny puff puff passing. But you may skate by with a bowl all to yourself if you're smoking a pipe.

Bongs are my favorite method of smoking weed. Like dabs, they're not for beginners, but they also won't shoot you to the moon (well, maybe they will). Bongs are simple, beautiful contraptions that utilize water and let you hit without wasting a crumb of weed. These days, you can buy any kind of bong that suits your style from a Rick and Morty bong to an antique bong. The only downside to the bong is cleaning it, but it can be done with a little elbow grease.
