So I don't recommend lighting cannabis on fire and smoking and sucking in the smoke because it's super pro-inflammatory, like tobacco is pro-inflammatory.
But vaping, you're heating it up below the level of combustion.
And whereas it's probably still a little bit pro-inflammatory, I think a lot less
And the advantage of vaping is it's a very, very fast onset.
So if you have a charley horse that's dropped you to your knees, eating an edible and waiting 45 minutes isn't going to work.
You can hit a vape pen and it can work within minutes.
Okay.
Now, I have some patients that would never, ever want to breathe in anything, even vapor.
And so tincture, which is an old apothecary term, you have a bottle of liquid cannabis and you draw it up into a dropper and you put it under your tongue.
And there's these giant blood vessels.
So about 15 to 25% gets absorbed very quickly into the bloodstream and it will work almost as fast as a vape pen.
And then you swallow the rest of it and the rest of it kicks in just like an edible in about 45 minutes to an hour.
Mm-hmm.
Now, the edibles, I typically ask people, particularly people that are maybe virginal and that, you know, they haven't had a great time in college or whatnot.
You take the edible and you cut it in half.
So you got five milligrams.
And I tell them, you know, towards the end of their after dinner, take an edible and then just do your normal routine.
Don't sit around like scared looking in the mirror to see if you grow hens.
You know, do your thing and don't redose, right?
That's very important.
