Cannabis 101: Everything You Need to Know About Weed

What forms does cannabis come in?

Flower/bud — for smoking or vaping Hash oil cartridges — for vaping Edibles (cookies, chocolates, chips, infused beverages, etc.) — for consuming Hash or wax (cannabis concentrates) — for dabbing (heating on a hot surface)

Weed can also be infused in a variety of products including bath salts, lotions, and salves.

What's the best consumption method for beginners?

I always recommend newbies to smoke or vape for their first time because the effects are instant and therefore easier to gauge. Edibles can take 30 minutes to two hours to kick in, which often results in impatient overdoses. Edibles are also more difficult to measure unless they come in the form of low- and precisely dosed chocolates or gummies. I'd also stay away from bongs for your first go.
