The most cost-efficient way to smoke weed is, of course, to smoke free weed. Sadly, most of us don’t have access to free weed and need all the tips and tricks we can get when it comes to buying it. Shopping for recreational cannabis at a legal dispensary sounds exhilarating to many people—until they get inside and see the mind-boggling prices.
While legalization increases access to cannabis, it does nothing to reduce the cost of the plant for consumers. In fact, regulating cannabis involves taxing it heavily, a practice many states have turned to for an easy yet lucrative revenue stream. Medical cannabis consumers enjoy greatly reduced costs and taxes, but recreational users are left to deal with a slew of scary price tags. Affordable cannabis exists, but it generally comes at the cost of quality.
You shouldn’t have to sacrifice quality in order to save money—there is hope for saving some green when it comes to buying your green. There are several ways to do this, but perhaps one of the most effective is simply learning the most efficient way to smoke your cannabis.
You can scour the internet and search every dispensary near your home to find the best deals on the block, but it won’t do you much good if you’re being wasteful with your weed. So, what’s the most efficient way to smoke weed? Is there truly one method that is better than any other? If you’re asking yourself this, chances are you’re on a tight budget or simply hate paying dispensary prices for cannabis. If you find yourself running out of weed frequently, these tips are for you.
When it comes to the age-old question of the best method of consuming cannabis, the answers are all over the map. Some people say pinner joints are best; some believe you need a fatty or hog leg; others say it’s definitely about toking a bowl. Then there are folks who believe bong rips are the only way to go. Some users have turned away from flower altogether, switching it out for cannabis concentrates. There are also folks who find vaping with a dry herb vaporizer to be the most efficient method.
All of these answers are right, and all of these answers are wrong. When it comes to the most efficient way to smoke weed, it really just depends on who you ask and who you are. This is because cannabis affects everyone’s endocannabinoid system differently, particularly due to the variation in frequency that people dabble in cannabis. Someone who smokes weed daily will likely prefer a different consumption method from their pal who only smokes at social events.
All in all, the most efficient way to smoke weed is the way that provides you with the most robust effects while using the most minimal amount of product. A 2019 study exploring the lung availability of cannabinoids found dabbing concentrates to be the most efficient way to intake THC, the primary active compound in cannabis. For folks who prefer good old flower, bongs are often regarded as the ideal method for getting high fast with a small amount. At the end of the day, experimentation and awareness are key.
Even being careful with your cannabis, you might find that it still runs out sooner than you’d like. Here are some easy ways to save some dough at the dispensary and score cheaper cannabis from the get-go:
Throughout my years as a cannabis consumer, I have personally tried everything in the books to conserve my weed. Here are some of my best tricks for getting the most out of cannabis:
And of course, there are some methods and practices to avoid that are guaranteed to waste your cannabis and money. These include:
It all boils down to what works for you. That’s the beauty of cannabis: It’s extremely customizable to meet the needs of various lifestyles, conditions, and budgets. While some get by fine with large amounts of cheap weed, others benefit from spending the time to find deals on top-tier weed. What tips do you have for smoking weed efficiently?
