When consuming cannabis, one of the most important considerations is the delivery method. With advances in product innovation, there are now options to inhale, ingest, absorb, and apply cannabis topically. Each method offers different dosage types and is designed for specific purposes. Consult with your certified pharmacist in Maryland to determine which method would be best for you.

INHALATION: Vaporized Flower, Oils & Extracts
When cannabis is inhaled, the gases enter the lungs and are then absorbed into the bloodstream. A vaporizer produces a stream of vapor (not smoke) that is inhaled, providing quick effects.

SUBLINGUAL: Tinctures & Sprays
Tinctures and sprays are liquid cannabis extracts that offer dosage control and fast-acting effects without the health risks associated with smoking. These products come with varying levels of THC per dose, allowing for precise control over your experience.

TOPICAL: Patches, Salves, Lotions & Oils
Topical cannabis products differ from other methods in that they do not typically produce the cerebral stimulation commonly associated with “being high.” This makes topicals ideal for those seeking localized relief, such as for muscle aches or soreness, while maintaining a clear head.

ORAL INGESTION: Capsules & Edibles
Orally ingesting cannabis, such as through capsules or edibles, leads to effects that are significantly different from other delivery methods that quickly enter the bloodstream. These products often have a longer onset time and can produce more intense full-body, psychoactive effects, depending on the dosage.
