When I started smoking cannabis in college at York University, all we had access to at the time were cannabis flower products.
The raw, whole-plant form of cannabis is the way most people consume the drug, and it’s what most envision when asked to describe the look of weed.
Although cannabis flower buds will probably always reign supreme in the legal cannabis industry because of their ubiquity, there are new cannabis products out these days that I like even more than cannabis flower buds. I don’t buy them anymore because of the price, but one of my favorite cannabis stores in Old Toronto has THC infused inhalers and nasal sprays for convenience in public. You can medicate with THC without inhaling from a vaporizer cartridge. While cheaper cannabis vaporizer cartridges will often be filled with distillate oil that has fruit and plant terpenes in them, there are live rosin cartridges that will stink up a room with a single hit from them. These are what I buy if I want a good experience every single time with my cannabis vaporizer cartridges. Recently I had a lot of fun visiting the Art Gallery of Ontario because I was discreetly taking drags from my live rosin vaporizer cartridge when no one was looking. I’m sure the whole museum smelled heavy like marijuana, but these days few people care. It’s rare that a business will call the RCMP just because they suspect a person using cannabis on the premises. I find that I spend more time appreciating paintings when I clear all of the stress out of my mind with my marijuana products.
