Picture this: You’ve just come home from a long day at work. You are ready to settle in for the evening. You have your dinner, your favourite chair is all set up, and you have some of your favourite cannabis strain ready to use. But it is then that you realize you don’t have a pipe or another way to smoke it. Instead of letting this ruin your evening plans, you can make your own! DIY pipes are actually quite common, and you can use many things that you likely already have lying around the house to make them. Your evening is saved as you gather up your supplies. You won’t need to make another trip out or forgo using your cannabis. Instead, you can enjoy your evening exactly as you had planned to. Though making a homemade pipe is easier than you may think it is, knowing how to get started can be a challenge. We’ll break down the different types of pipes out there and show you how you can make a pipe at home. The Types of Pipes on the Market Today There are many types of pipes, but they will all fall under one of two categories: dry pipes or wet pipes. The two offer unique experiences, and which type of cannabis pipe you prefer is up to you. You can make both kinds of pipes in your home. First, let’s look at dry pipes. These are pretty basic pipes. They are made up of a bowl and a neck. To use them, you simply pack your bowl with cannabis, cover it with a carb cap (optional), light it, and enjoy. Using this type of pipe will be similar to a joint in that you’ll be inhaling the unfiltered smoke from the weed. A water pipe is a little different. Though it too will have a bowl, this bowl will connect to a downstem. The design and the presence of water will filter out the smoke before you inhale it, creating a cleaner hit. Bongs and bubblers fall into the water pipe category. In addition to pipes being either dry or water type, there are also different types of pipes, named based on their design and the elements that make them. Let’s look at some of the most popular pipes you can buy right now, including:  Hand pipes. These are the most common pipe used to smoke cannabis. They are easy to use and sit in the palm of your hand. They are made up of a bowl, which you pack your cannabis in, and a stem, which you use to inhale the smoke. The bowl will have a hole in the bottom that helps the smoke travel through the stem. There is also a larger hole on the side to allow you to regulate the airflow in the pipe (this hole is called a carb). You may also see this type of pipe referred to as a “spoon.” One-hitters. These are popular pipes for people on the go or who maybe don’t use a pipe all that often. They are typically quite small (ranging from five to ten centimetres) and are shaped like a tube with a mouthpiece on the end. There will be an opening at the other end for you to place your cannabis flow. Because of their smaller size, they cannot hold a lot of cannabis, usually only enough for users to take one hit, hence their name. Steamrollers. These pipes are an excellent combination between hand pipes and one-hitters. They are similar in shape to one-hitters but have the carb and large bowl that hand pipes offer. There is an open area at the front of this type of pipe that allows for more airflow than you’d get with a hand pipe. In addition to there being different types of pipes when it comes to function and design, pipes can also be made out of different materials (including materials you can find at home). If you are purchasing a pipe from an online retailer, you can expect to find mostly glass pipes. But other common pipe materials include wood and metal. The pipe designs can also range from small and simple to large and intricate. Many people enjoy finding pipes that are designed off of specific characters or stories. Finding the right pipe is a great way to express yourself while enjoying your cannabis. How to Use a Pipe Before we share ways you can make your own pipe at home, let’s look at how to use a pipe. The process will be similar, no matter if your pipe is store-bought or a DIY cannabis pipe. Use a cannabis grinder to break up your chosen cannabis flower. You can also use your hands, but a grinder will create more even-sized pieces. Pack your ground cannabis into the bowl of your pipe. However, you want to be sure you don’t overpack it, as this will make it harder to smoke and restrict the airflow through your piece. Place your pipe in the palm of your hand with a finger over the carb (unless you are using a one-hitter; then skip this step, as there is no carb). Put your lighter close to the surface of your bowl and make a spark (keep that finger on the carb) while inhaling. This will ignite your cannabis. Remove the lighter from your cannabis once it starts to cherry. As you inhale through the mouthpiece, cover and uncover the carb (except on one-hitters) using a tapping motion. This will keep everything burning. Exhale the smoke. Repeat until you’ve smoked all the cannabis in your pipe or until you’ve reached your desired effects. How to Make a Cannabis Pipe at Home Now that you know how to use a pipe and more about them in general, let’s look at how you can make your own at home. In this age of DIY, it only makes sense that more people are starting to use what they have on hand to smoke their favourite cannabis products. Below, we’ll show you how to make a pipe using products and objects you can find at home. But don’t be afraid to get creative and try some other methods as you grow more comfortable. 1. An Apple Pipe This option is one of the most popular ways to make a homemade pipe. To do this, you will need: An apple (any type is acceptable, but make sure there are no rotten spots) A kitchen skewer A small paring knife Aluminum foil A safety pin A cannabis grinder Cannabis of your choice Here’s how you make it: First, you’ll need to make your bowl by using a small paring knife to cut a depression out of the top of the apple. Grab your skewer and use it to make a hole from the side of the apple to the middle. Next, you will need to connect this hole to the bowl. Again using your skewer, poke a hole through the bowl to connect it to the hole in the side. Test to make sure air can flow between the two holes by blowing through your newly created hole. If any apple chunks appear at the exit hole, remove them. Line your bowl with aluminum foil, then poke small holes into the foil with a safety pin. This layer of foil protects your material from any moisture that would come from the apple. Use a cannabis grinder to grind up your weed, then place it in the bowl you created using the foil. Use a lighter to light your buds as you inhale through the hole in the side. Some people have a mouthpiece they may put in the side of the bowl, but you don’t have to use one if you don’t have one. 2. A Pen Pipe You can also use a pen to make a pipe quickly. You will want to be sure the pen you use has a metal tip, as plastic ones will melt. Here’s what you will need: A pen A lighter Tape Cannabis of your choice Here’s how you make it:  Dismantle your pen and remove the ink chamber.  Place the metal tip of the pen back on the pen, but put it on backwards with the tip facing into the pen.  Grind your cannabis using a cannabis grinder, then fill the metal tip (which will now act as your bowl) with cannabis.  If desired, you can tape the tip of the pen for additional support.  Light the cannabis and inhale from the other end of the pen. This DIY pipe method is simple yet effective. As we mentioned, be sure you use a sturdy pen with metal ends, or your bowl (and the ends of your homemade pipe) will melt. 3. A Water Bottle Bong For those who prefer a wet pipe like a bong, this is a great option for you. Here’s what you will need to make it: A plastic water bottle (empty) An empty pitcher Scissors  Aluminum foil A safety pin or thumbtack A cannabis grinder Cannabis of your choice Note: When choosing a bottle and a pitcher, keep in mind that the bottle will need to fit inside the pitcher.  Here’s how you make it:  Grab your scissors and cut the bottom of the water bottle off. You will need the bottle to sit flat in the pitcher, so try to cut a straight line across the water bottle.  Rip a square of aluminum foil off your roll and use it to create a bowl at the top of your water bottle (over the area you would typically drink from). To create your bowl, gently push the foil into the drinking hole and wrap more foil around the sides.  Use a safety pin or thumbtack to poke holes in the bottom of the aluminum foil bowl.  Fill your pitcher with enough water to cover 2/3 of the height of the water bottle. When placed in the pitcher, the top of the water bottle should extend about 3.8 centimetres above the water level in the pitcher.  Slowly place the bottle in the pitcher, with the open bottom of the bottle end going in first.  Grind your cannabis, then place it in your foil bowl.  Use your lighter to light your cannabis.  As it burns, slowly and carefully lift your bottle up in the water. This will allow smoke to enter the bottle. Note: Do not lift the bottle high enough to remove it from the water completely.  Remove the foil bowl as it comes up to the surface of the water. Use the top of the bottle to inhale the smoke.  After you inhale, you can push the bottle back down into the water, which will force smoke into your mouth. As you push the bottle back down, water will begin to rise in it. Be sure you stop before it gets high enough that you end up inhaling the water.  Though this process may seem a little more complicated, it is a fun way to make a bong at home once you get the hang of it.  Final Thoughts There are many types of cannabis pipes on the market. From dry pipes like one-hitters to water pipes like bongs, you can find one that gives you the experience you desire. Plus, they come in many designs that allow you to express yourself while enjoying cannabis.  But sometimes, you may find yourself without your pipe or with a pipe that is cracked or broken. Luckily, there are many ways you can make a cannabis pipe at home. Though we’ve shared three common methods, the possibilities are endless. You can experiment with ways to create a DIY pipe as you grow more comfortable with the methods we’ve suggested.  You can also find more suggestions on DIY cannabis pipe-making online or by connecting with fellow cannabis users. 

You clean your car. You clean your home. You even wash your clothes by regularly doing laundry. One thing you should clean, but likely aren’t? Your cannabis glass. Whether you use cannabis daily or just on occasion, if you use a glass device to smoke it, such as a bong, it’s essential that you take care of it, just as you would any of your other property. But, the vast majority of cannabis enthusiasts don’t clean their glass as often as they should—if they clean it at all. Think about it. When your cannabis buds arrive from your online dispensary, you likely inspect them to ensure they are high quality and don’t have mould growing. It would help if you showed this same attention to detail when it comes to your cannabis glass. So, are you cleaning your pipes regularly? If not, keep reading to learn why cleaning your glass is essential and three ways you can quickly (and painlessly) clean your glass. Types of Glass That Needs Cleaning First, remember that the instructions we provide below are specifically for cleaning glass cannabis accessories. This includes things such as: Bongs Pipes Dab rigs If you use a vape pen or even have a tray you use to roll joints, those should be cleaned regularly. However, the method you decide to use to clean them will be different from the methods we discuss below. The Importance of Cleaning Your Glass There are many reasons you should keep your glass clean in addition to just keeping it looking nice (though that is an excellent benefit of regular cleaning). Not only is it a matter of appearance, but it’s also a matter of health and efficiency. You should be sure to clean your glass regularly because: It helps keep them working well. Grime buildup can plug up certain types of glass, which makes it challenging to use and can severely impact your experience. Dirty glass can stink. This is especially true if you use a water-based glass like a bong. Stagnant water can start to stink, leaving you with a stinky bong and a smell that can eventually begin to spread throughout your home. Mould and bacteria can grow. Sitting water, even droplets from you inhaling or exhaling in a mouthpiece, can become breeding grounds for bacteria, mould, and even fungi. You’ll inevitably inhale these as you use your glass, which can irritate your lungs and is not healthy for you. The reasons to keep your glass clean are endless. It’s a part of taking care of your belongings, in this case, your cannabis glass hardware. 3 Ways to Clean Your Glass There are many ways to clean your glass. The method you choose will depend on different factors, including: How dirty your glass is What products you have on hand The type of products you are comfortable using It is important to note that the first step for every method we discuss should be taking apart your glass. This allows each piece to get a good clean. When taken apart, be careful while cleaning, so the parts don’t clank together and chip or crack. 1. The Alcohol Method Perhaps considered the simplest way to clean your glass, you will likely have everything you need to do this already on hand—no need to go out and buy additional supplies. For this cleaning method, you will need: Hot water Coarse salt (the larger the grain, the better) Isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol A resealable plastic bag (like a Ziploc) Once you have your equipment, it’s time to start cleaning your cannabis glass. Run your glass pieces under warm water to remove any loose particles or debris. Place your glass in your resealable bag. Pour your rubbing alcohol into the bag. There should be enough to submerge your glass. Add one tablespoon of coarse salt to the bag. The salt will act as an abrasive and scrub your glass to remove stuck-on particles, which is why coarse salt or salt that is large is recommended. Seal your bag. Carefully shake the bag and the contents within it. If you are doing more than one piece at a time, be sure they don’t bump together and crack or break. Continue to shake the bag for about one to two minutes, allowing enough time for the salt to work. Rinse your glass with hot water to remove all alcohol and salt. Either dry your glass using a cloth or let it sit and air dry. You’ll want to be sure your glass is fully dry before you use it again. 2. The Boiling Method If you have gunk stuck on your glass, this is an excellent method to try. It can work well on its own, or you may want to try this method to loosen debris and buildup stuck on before trying either method one or three. You won’t need much to complete this method, but it does take some time and some baking equipment. You will need: Hot water A pot large enough to submerge your glass Oven mitts A timer A cotton swab Let’s get started. Gently tap your bong over a trash can to remove any loose buds or other debris. Then rinse it with warm water. (Do not use cold water as this can damage your glass when you move to the next step). Fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil. There should be enough water in your pot to fully submerge your glass and to have a few inches of water between it and the top. Carefully place your glass in the boiling water. Be sure you don’t just drop it, as that can crack or break it. Tip: Consider using tongs to place your glass in the water. Allow the glass to soak in the water for about 30 minutes, but keep an eye on it. The water will evaporate as time passes; make sure your pipe stays submerged. Remove the pot from heat and carefully drain the water. (Be sure to pour the water out away from you). Use your oven mitt to remove the glass from the pot. Rinse the pieces with warm to hot water. (Using cold water could cause your glass to crack or break). Use a cotton swab to remove any remaining residue. A pipe cleaner would also work. Let your glass air dry, or use a towel to wipe the pieces down after cleaning. 3. The Denture Method Denture tablets have a lot of uses, in addition to their intended applications. Not only can they keep dentures clean and free of bacteria, but you can also use them to clean your glass. You will need: A container large enough to hold your glass Denture tablets A timer Let’s get started: Place your glass in your container. Fill the container with hot water, and it should cover your glass entirely. Drop in two or three denture tablets. The water will start to fizz. The bubbles from the fizz will act similarly to salt in method one, Let your glass soak in the water with the denture tablets for about 30 minutes. Remove your glass and rinse all pieces with warm water. Allow your pieces to air dry, or dry them with a cloth. How Often Should I Clean My Bong? Now that you know three simple yet effective ways to clean your glass, you may be wondering how often you’ll need to do it, or rather, how often you should clean it. In a perfect world, many people say you would clean your bong or pipe after each use, immediately after you finish using it. This would prevent debris from having the chance to get stuck to it and ensures no bacteria even has the opportunity to grow and develop. But, daily cleaning may not be something everyone can commit to or has time to do. After smoking, cleaning can be the last thing on your mind and the last thing you want to focus on. In that case, experts recommend cleaning your bong or pipe at least once a week. Put aside time once a week to clean all your glass, just as you would set aside time to meal prep each week. If you use a water-based glass product, like a bong, be sure to dump out the water every time you finish using it, even if you don’t clean the entire piece. When it seems like cleaning is a big hassle, remember all the benefits regularly cleaning your glass has to offer; mainly, protecting yourself from inhaling harmful particulates, bacteria, and mould. That itself makes the extra work worth it. Don’t Want to Clean Your Glass? Other Cannabis Products to Try If cleaning your glass isn’t something you want to commit to regularly doing, you may want to consider using other cannabis products that don’t require this step instead. There are thousands of cannabis products on the market today. Long gone are the days where cannabis users can only smoke or use a bong. There are seemingly endless ways to consume cannabis products, meeting the differing needs of all cannabis users. If maintaining your glass isn’t something you are up for, consider these popular cannabis products instead: Cannabis edibles. These can include everything from chocolate and gummy candies infused with cannabis to baked goods like brownies and cookies. They are easy to make and require no clean-up after. Just be sure to allow them about 30 minutes to take effect after you eat them. THC or CBD capsules. Did you know you can take THC and CBD in capsule form? This cannabis consumption method allows users a quick and discreet way to consume cannabis on the go. It also allows users to easily manage their dose, as each pill contains a set amount of cannabis. Disposable vape pens. Also called one-hitters, these vape pens come pre-loaded, pre-charged, and ready for you to use. Once you’ve finished the product inside, dispose of them—no need to scrub or soak them to remove particles. Cannabis oil. This particular cannabis product can be taken sublingually (or applied under the tongue), but cooking with cannabis oil has become more popular lately. These oils come in different flavours or unflavoured varieties. The different choices allow people to choose which one best meets their needs and preferences. Cannabis drinks. Though some people choose to make their beverages that have been infused with cannabis products, you can also buy them. Popular cannabis drink options include coffee and even cannabis tea. There are many other cannabis products out there that require little maintenance on your part. If you are having trouble choosing the right one for you, you can ask your retailer for advice. They will be happy to help you find the perfect cannabis product for you. Final Thoughts Whether you are using a bong, dab rig, or a pipe, keeping your glass clean is an essential but often neglected part of using them. Though keeping your glass clean has many benefits, most users don’t clean their glass enough if they take the time to clean it at all. Regularly cleaning your class helps prevent mould, bacteria, and fungi from growing in your glass. If these do develop, you’ll end up inhaling them; something that is not good for your lungs or your health. Regular cleaning also keeps your glass in good working order and prevents cross-contamination of different products. You spent a lot on your glass; keep it in good working order by keeping it clean. There are many ways to clean your glass. Though we’ve discussed three here, there are others out there that utilize different products to keep your glass clean. Find the one that works best for you and make it a part of your smoking routine.

The marijuana industry continues to grow throughout Canada, the United States, and various countries overseas. Attitudes and laws toward the drug are constantly changing for the better and reports estimate that the industry will be worth $73.6 Billion by 2027. As such, it’s worth looking into some of the top marijuana stocks on the NASDAQ. Investing in marijuana companies is a good idea as many have the potential to grow exponentially as the industry becomes less restrictive. And while many stocks have been hit hard by COVID-19, this makes it a good time to buy low and sell high later. Here are some of the top marijuana stocks on the NASDAQ that you should consider adding to your portfolio. Village Farms International (NASDAQ: VFF) One of the top marijuana stocks on the NASDAQ right now is Village Farms International. Interestingly, Village Farms International started as a global producer of greenhouse-grown vegetables. However, in 2017, the company diversified its efforts and began growing cannabis, resulting in a huge surge in its stock at the time and much success since then. Although the company suffered a decline in stock during Q1 2020, this can largely be attributed to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, the stock has started to bounce back since March, and now is a great time to buy as it’s likely to grow more as things go back to normal. Village Farms International also has plenty of potential for growth. In 2019, the company vowed to produce 150,000 kg of cannabis a year using 2.2 million square feet of greenhouses dedicated specifically to cannabis growing. What’s more, the company has also been working on an expansion into the hemp industry. With the widespread popularity of CBD products, this looks like a good pick. GW Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: GWPH) Another marijuana stock that you should be keeping your eye on right now is GW Pharmaceuticals. GW Pharmaceuticals isn’t a cannabis cultivator or retailer, but rather a pharmaceutical company that develops plant-derived medications. Their cannabinoid-based medication, Sativex, has become extremely popular as an alternative to medical marijuana. There are many good reasons to invest in this UK-based company. Their product, Sativex, is a cannabinoid-infused oral spray that has become a popular treatment for muscle spasticity. Sativex made waves when it became the first legal cannabis-based product in the United Kingdom. Since then, it’s been approved in over 25 countries. The ability to appeal to global markets where marijuana is still illegal makes GW Pharmaceuticals stock incredibly attractive. GW Pharmaceuticals is now also working on a CBD-based product designed to treat epilepsy. Despite the trials and tribulations of 2020, GW Pharmaceuticals stock has been growing fast the past few months and looks likely to grow even further in the future. This could be a great long-term investment for any marijuana investor. Amyris Inc. (NASDAQ: AMRS) Amyris Inc. is another unique investment for marijuana investors. While not inherently a marijuana company, Amyris Inc. is a producer of products in the health and wellness, beauty, and flavor and fragrance sectors. However, the company is now working on CBD-infused products that have the potential for huge success. The CBD industry is closely related to the marijuana industry as CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis. While CBD doesn’t get you high, it’s become an extremely popular alternative for users who want to benefit from the cannabinoids in marijuana without getting high. Amyris. Inc’s ability to create high-quality CBD topicals is a move that has a huge appeal for consumers. Despite the effects of COVID-19 on the economy, Amyris. Inc. had a surprisingly strong first quarter in 2020 with revenue growth of 103%. Amyris president and CEO John Melo also stated that COVID-19 would have a limited impact on the company. This looks like a strong stock that could grow substantially over the next few years, so consider it for your portfolio. Tilray (NASDAQ: TLRY) Another one of the most interesting marijuana stocks you can invest in right now is Tilray. Tilray is a pharmaceutical and cannabis company based out of Canada that has had major success worldwide. Interestingly, Tilray was the first cannabis company to have an IPO on the NASDAQ and the first medical cannabis producer to become GMP certified in the US. Tilray focuses on making some of the best cannabinoid-based products for medical purposes. As well as having major success in the United States and Canada, Tilray also has subsidiaries in various places around the world including Australia, New Zealand, Portugal, Germany, and Latin America. The company produces all kinds of medical cannabis products, including cannabis flower, oil drops, and extracts. It also produces a range of hemp-based CBD products, expanding its customer reach even further. Despite the value of Tilray stock dropping recently, the company reported revenue growth of 126% in the first quarter of 2020. Now is the perfect time to add this valuable stock to your portfolio. Cronos Group (NASDAQ: CRON) Cronos Group is a major international cannabis company with an impressive portfolio of brands. Some of its brands include Peace Naturals, COVE, Spinach, and Lord Jones. Its brands cover a wide range of products and services. Not only do they produce medical marijuana and CBD products, but they also have a global wellness platform and produce related products such as vaporizers. This stock has been one of the hottest marijuana stocks for a very long time. It’s one of the biggest marijuana stocks by market cap and even received a massive $1.8 billion investment from Altria Group- a major international producer of cigarettes and tobacco products. Since then, Cronos Group has had some major success with its stock reaching its peak in 2019. Much like with many other marijuana companies, 2020 has been rough on Cronos Group and its stock. However, with plenty of funding and resources to stay afloat, Cronos Group shouldn’t be hit too hard and can easily bounce back in the future. If you’re looking for a potentially risky long-term investment, then Cronos Group is a good pick for your portfolio. Cara Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ: CARA) Marijuana-related biotech company stocks are particularly popular at the moment. Many of these companies have the potential to grow significantly, especially as they can appeal to markets where marijuana is still illegal yet cannabinoid-infused medications have the potential to be approved. Cara Therapeutics is another one of these companies making waves in the cannabis industry. Cara Therapeutics is a pharmaceutical company that focuses on developing innovative treatments for chronic pain and pruritus- the medical term for severe itching. While their main focus is on the opioid-based CR845, they’ve also been working on a new cannabis-based treatment that could see it become even more successful. While opioids come with many potential side effects, cannabinoid-based medications are much safer with no fatal risks. Cara Therapeutics is currently working on a cannabinoid-receptor agonist- CR701. While research is still in the early stages, it’s become a popular stock for marijuana investors. It may be risky to invest in Cara Therapeutics while its cannabinoid-based medication is still in the preclinical-stage, but this is still a stock that’s worth considering for marijuana investors. OrganiGram Holdings (NASDAQ: OGI) OrganiGram Holdings is a major cannabis company and by far one of the best marijuana stocks you can find on the NASDAQ. OrganiGram produces a range of cannabis strains and products for both medical and recreational users. And, while their stock value has dropped significantly over the past year, there are many reasons why this might be one of the best marijuana stock investments right now. Many marijuana companies have been hit by the COVID crisis, but there’s still the potential to bounce back as things return to normal. OrganiGram Holdings shows much promise as it focuses on cost-efficiency with some of the lowest cultivation costs in the cannabis industry. OrganiGram currently produces cannabis from a major growth facility and has received many positive reviews on its products. As well as producing a range of popular cannabis strains, OrganiGram Holdings also develops alternative products such as marijuana-infused edibles, vapes, and powders which all help the company to expand its range. Although the company hasn’t performed particularly well this year, its low stock price right now makes it a very attractive long-term investment. Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: ARNA) Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. is another one of the top marijuana stocks on the NASDAQ, especially if you’re interested in investing in a cannabis-related biopharmaceutical company rather than cannabis retailers or growers. Arena Pharmaceuticals operates out of San Diego, California, and produces a wide range of medical products, including an upcoming cannabinoid-based drug. The company is currently working on APD371 or “Olorinab”, an agonist of cannabinoid receptors with the potential to treat Crohn’s disease. The drug is designed to help patients relieve symptoms such as gastrointestinal pain but does not make them high or produce. So far, the drug has performed well in clinical trials. While many marijuana stocks have performed poorly throughout 2019, Arena Pharmaceuticals, Inc. stock is at its highest point in years. What’s more, the stock has the opportunity to grow even more, especially with the huge demand for cannabinoid-based treatments even in countries where cannabis is still illegal. This is a stock that you should consider investing in sooner rather than later. Greenlane Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: GNLN) Marijuana growers, retailers, and pharmaceutical companies aren’t the only types of businesses that are important to the industry. Many cannabis users also need devices and accessories such as bongs, vaporizers, rolling papers, pipes, grinders, and more. Greenlane Holdings is one of the top marijuana companies offering these. Greenlane Holdings has a wide range of brands offering all kinds of cannabis-related products, with some of the most prominent being Marley Naturals, Vibes, and Groove. They also act as distributors for major brands like JUUL, PAX, Raw, Bic, and more. The products they produce and distribute will always be in demand for cannabis users and their strong portfolio makes them a force to be reckoned with. The company had much success last year, especially with the widespread sales of vaporizers and e-cigarettes including the popular JUUL device. Greenlane originally conducted an IPO on the NASDAQ a little over a year ago and, although the stock has dropped, it’s starting to bounce back, and now could be a good time to invest. New Age Beverages Corp. (NASDAQ: NBEV) While not inherently a marijuana stock, New Age Beverages Corp. poses another interesting opportunity for enthusiastic marijuana investors. New Age Beverages is a company that develops a range of health drinks including green tea, kombucha, and many other drinks. However, the company recently became of interest to marijuana investors when it brought out a line of CBD-infused drinks. CBD is a non-psychoactive cannabinoid that has become a popular alternative to cannabis for many users, especially since it’s legal in states where marijuana isn’t. Many consumers now actively seek out CBD products such as CBD Oils, Edibles, and Drinks, hence why New Age Beverages Corp is an attractive stock for marijuana investors. The company saw a surge in its stock after announcing its line of CBD drinks and, although the launch has been delayed due to regulatory uncertainties, the stock will likely experience another surge if clearance is given by the FDA. What’s more, New Age Beverages Corp. also has other lines of health drinks to fall back on- especially with the recent health concerns brought about by coronavirus. As such, this is a great stock to add to your portfolio. Conclusion If you’re interested in investing in marijuana stocks, these are some of the best stocks to look into right now. Whether you’re interested in growers, retailers, biotech companies, or ancillary businesses, there are many good options. However, keep in mind there are always risks to investing and you should do thorough research before you invest your money. Investing in marijuana companies right now is a good idea since the industry is set to grow. Marijuana is now more accepted than ever- especially in Canada where you can now buy weed in stores and online. If you’re simply interested in buying marijuana, you can find all of the products you need at WCCannabis.

Using marijuana is ideal for anyone who wants to experience the euphoric, rewarding effects of THC or even get the benefits of the various cannabinoids and terpenes cannabis contains. When most people think of using marijuana, they probably think of smoking a joint or hitting a bong, but there are various ways to consume marijuana and it’s worth trying multiple out. Some methods of marijuana consumption offer extra convenience, some make it easier to get a specific dose, and some are just plain fun. Each method has pros and cons and each makes sense for certain situations, so it helps to grab a few different products for different purposes. Here’s a guide to some of the best ways to consume marijuana and when you should use them. Smoking Although there are now tons of unique and convenient ways to consume marijuana, smoking weed is still incredibly popular. There are many ways to do it and it’s easy to customize your smoking experience based on the products you use and how you choose to smoke them. One of the good things about smoking is the variety you have. You can choose to smoke indica strains, sativa strains, or hybrid strains, and each strain offers slightly different effects. You can even mix strains to enhance the experience. You’ll need some smoking accessories such as rolling papers and a lighter if you want to roll a joint. However, you can also smoke by using a Pipe or Bong for added convenience. Smoking is an easy way to consume marijuana by yourself or with friends, although some users might not enjoy breathing in burning chemicals every time they use weed. Vaping Vaping is one of the best alternatives to smoking. Instead of burning your weed, you simply heat it to such a high point that it releases thick, flavorful, THC-packed vapor that you can then inhale to get the same effects you would from smoking. The difference is that vaping weed gives stronger effects than smoking it. What’s more, it’s less harsh on your lungs and many users find it to be a safer and more positive experience. Plus, just like with smoking, you can choose from various strains if you vape weed. Vaping weed isn’t your only option, either. If you have a Vape Pen that’s compatible with cannabis concentrates, you can vape high-potency extracts such as Shatter, Crumble, and Live Resin. Alternatively, some devices are compatible with a range of THC Vape Juices and Cartridges which provide a smooth and flavorful vaping experience. Edibles If you’re looking for something more hard-hitting and longer-lasting than smoking or vaping marijuana, you might want to try Marijuana Edibles. These are tasty snacks and treats that have been infused with the cannabinoids in cannabis. However, not only are they enjoyable to use, but they also give you a different kind of high. Consuming marijuana edibles leads to the THC being converted to a stronger chemical- 11-hydroxy-THC. Although you’ll have to wait 30-90 minutes for the effects to kick in, they’re incredibly strong and can last for anywhere from 4-12 hours. Because they’re so strong, you don’t need a high dose to get seriously high. A dose of 10mg THC is enough for most users, although experienced users may want to go a little higher. Fortunately, there are many convenient edibles such as Gummies and Chocolates that are split into small serving sizes, making it easy to get an appropriate dose. Tinctures/Oils Another one of the best ways to consume marijuana is with convenient Cannabis Tinctures and Oils. These liquid cannabis products are beneficial for numerous reasons. On top of being highly convenient to use, they also make it easy to get the dose of THC you need, and there are multiple ways to use them. The quickest and easiest way to use Cannabis Tinctures or Oils is to measure the dose you want with the dropper and drop it under your tongue. Hold the oil for at least 30-90 seconds to absorb the cannabinoids into your system before swallowing the rest. The cannabinoids will take effect on your system within around 20 minutes. Alternatively, you can drop some Tincture into a drink or even sprinkle it on top of foods. This is an easy way to make some makeshift marijuana edibles. Many people enjoy using Tinctures as they offer a convenient and discreet way to get a quick dose of THC. Capsules While many people use Tinctures for convenience, Capsules are arguably an even more convenient way to get a quick dose of cannabis. These products are simply Capsules that have been made with Cannabis Oil or Isolates, making it easy to get a fixed dose of THC whenever you need it. Capsules are split into small doses so you can get the dose you need whenever you want. For instance, if you’re looking to take 10mg of THC, all you have to do is to swallow a 10mg THC Capsule, drink some water, and wait for the effects to kick in. If you want 20mg THC, simply take two or even use 20mg THC Capsules. Various types and dosages of Cannabis Capsules are available. Although they aren’t necessarily the most enjoyable way to consume cannabis, they make it incredibly straightforward to get a specific dose, making them a good option for many people. Topicals As far as marijuana products go, Topicals are particularly interesting. These products won’t get you high, but they can still be helpful for many situations where you want to apply a dose of cannabinoids to a specific part of the body. Topicals come in many forms, such as Creams, Balms, Lotions, and Bath Products. In most cases, you simply apply Topicals directly to the area of your body where you want the effects of cannabinoids. While they don’t offer psychoactive effects, Cannabis Topicals can be useful for soothing pain and inflammation or even helping with skin problems. Because of this, they’re popular for medical cannabis users. Conclusion With so many convenient and effective ways to consume marijuana, there’s truly something to suit everyone. Whether you want the enjoyable experience of vaping, the convenience of capsules, or even the intense effects of edibles, it’s worth trying a few of these methods out. All of these products are easy to find online from WCCannabis.

While many users enjoy the experience of smoking cannabis, some don’t enjoy the smell. Weed can be highly pungent and, what’s more, the smell can quickly stick to your clothing and linger for a while. Whether you’re trying to be more discreet or just aren’t a fan of the smell sticking around, it helps to know how to reduce the smell when smoking cannabis. Some of these methods will help you hide the smell of weed from your room or your house, which can be particularly helpful if you’re trying to use it on the down-low. Other approaches tackle how to stop your hair and clothing smelling like weed. There are even some methods that can help you avoid the smell altogether. Here’s a guide on how to reduce the smell when smoking cannabis. Smoke Somewhere Well-Ventilated When it comes to smoking weed indoors, it’s easy for the smell to quickly take over the entire room. Some strains are more pungent than others but, whichever way, if you’re smoking a joint or hitting a Bong inside, you can expect the smell to linger for a while. It’s best to smoke where it’s well-ventilated. Make sure you crack open a few windows to let the smell out. Although it’ll still take a while for the scent to completely dissipate, the ventilation can help get rid of the smell after. You might also find it helpful to turn a fan on- this will help get the weed smoke out of the room faster. A dehumidifier can also help- this will reduce the level of moisture in your room as well as helping get rid of strong scents quicker. Whichever way, make sure you’re smoking somewhere where it’s well-ventilated. Smoke Outdoors Instead While there are ways to reduce the smell of weed when you smoke indoors, it’s always better to smoke outdoors if you’re trying to avoid the lingering scent of cannabis. You won’t have to worry about ventilation when you smoke outside as you’re already out in the open air where smells will swiftly dissipate. There are still various restrictions on where you can and can’t smoke. Some provinces allow you to smoke in places where tobacco smoking is permitted. However, smoking in public outdoor spaces will likely be even more restricted during the quarantine. However, you can still smoke in private outdoor spaces such as your garden or balcony. Check your provincial laws and make sure you don’t break any rules. As long as you’re following the law, smoking outdoors is a great idea. You won’t have to worry about your house being overtaken by the smell of weed and, although your clothes might still end up smelling of weed, being outside in the air will help reduce this happening as well. Mask The Smell Unfortunately, you can’t completely remove the smell of weed while you’re smoking. Not only can the smell last in the air for a while when you smoke indoors, but you’re also likely to end up with the faint scent of cannabis on your hair and clothing. Fortunately, you can mask the smell. There are various approaches you can take to mask the scent of weed. If you’re worried about your room smelling of weed, try burning some incense, spraying some Febreeze, or even spraying a little perfume or cologne around your room. Although your room may still smell, at least it won’t be the smell of weed. If you’re worried about the smell of weed on your hair or clothing, you can also use perfume, cologne, or deodorant. Smoking outside or at least going outside for a walk can also help remove scents quicker. If all else fails, a quick shower and changing your clothes can help get rid of the lingering cannabis smell. Try Vaping Instead Of Smoking Smoking weed often leaves behind a strong smell as smoke can linger for a while. However, there are other options to consider. One of the best alternatives to smoking weed is Vaping or Vaporizing. Using a Vape Pen gives you a similar experience to smoking a joint but with many added benefits. One of the main benefits of Vaping is that it involves heating your weed without producing any smoke. Not only does this make it safer and healthier, but less smoke means the smell won’t be as strong after you’ve finished inhaling and exhaling. Vaping can even give you stronger hits, so it’s a win-win. Vaping weed isn’t your only option, either. Some Vape Pens are designed for use with cannabis concentrates such as Shatter, Budder, and Wax. You can also use Vape Juices. These are often infused with fruity or candy-like scents so you can avoid the lingering smell of cannabis. Use Smokeless Methods Of Consumption Along with Vaping, there are many alternative methods of marijuana consumption that don’t involve smoking. These methods don’t even involve inhaling anything, so you’ll leave behind even less smell than you would from vaping cannabis or THC Vape Oils. Edibles are a decent option if you want to avoid the smell of weed. These are food products that have been infused with cannabis, so when you eat them, you get the effects of THC. You won’t end up with the smell of weed lingering, although you might get the pleasant scent of cookies or chocolates. Cannabis Oils are a great option for convenience and ease-of-use. Simply apply your desired dose of oil under your tongue, hold it there for 30-90 seconds, and swallow the rest. This is one of the best options for users who want a smokeless method of consumption that won’t leave behind any scents. Other options are also available, such as Cannabis Topicals and even CBD Products. However, it’s important to note that these products won’t get you high and are merely used for therapeutic purposes.  Conclusion There are many ways to reduce the smell when smoking cannabis. You can smoke in a well-ventilated area or even smoke outdoors to get rid of the smell quicker. You can also mask the smell with other scents. Alternatively, you can avoid the scent of weed altogether with alternative methods of consumption. Whichever way, you can find all the cannabis products you need at WCCannabis.

Weed is now legally available to consumers throughout the country. However, smoking isn’t the only way to enjoy the effects. While some users stick to the good old fashioned methods of smoking a joint or hitting a Bong, there are now tons of different ways to get high without smoking weed. Although smoking is a quick and easy way to get high, some users prefer alternative options for various reasons. For instance, you might want to use a smokeless method of consumption to avoid any harsh effects on your lungs. What’s more, many of these methods offer extra ease-of-use and convenience and some will even give you a stronger high. So which should you use? Here are 5 ways to get high without smoking weed that you should consider. 1. Vaping If you want a similar experience to smoking weed but without the drawbacks, then vaping is the perfect method for you. Instead of rolling a joint, all you have to do is add some ground weed to a Vape Pen, turn the power on, and enjoy the thick, flavorful vapor that your device produces. Just like smoking, you can inhale the vapor and feel the effects instantly. The difference between vaping and smoking is that it produces enough heat to release vapor without burning your weed. As such, you won’t inhale any burning chemicals or toxins and instead get pure, smooth, THC-packed vapor. Many users feel that vaping weed is a healthier experience and studies also suggest that vaping cannabis gives you stronger effects. While some Vape Pens are designed for use with dry herbs such as weed, there are other options. Some Vaporizers are also compatible with cannabis concentrates or dabs such as Shatter, Wax, and Live Resin. You can also get pens designed for use with Cannabis Vape Oils. These are available in a wide range of delicious flavors to improve your vaping experience. 2. Edibles If you want the strongest effects possible without having to inhale anything, then marijuana edibles are one of the best options for you. These are foods that have been enhanced with the effects of marijuana- usually by infusing marijuana into butter, oil, or other condiments before using it to create potent THC-infused snacks. The effects of edibles are quite different from smoking. When you smoke weed, you’ll generally feel the effects of THC within minutes and the effects will taper off within 2-3 hours. Edibles can take 30-90 minutes to get you high as your body needs to digest the THC and convert it into the stronger 11-hydroxy-THC. Once the effects hit you, you’ll experience an intense high that can last for 4-12 hours. You can buy Edibles online and there are various kinds available. THC Gummies are a great choice of beginners, especially as they’re split into small servings of THC so they don’t get you too high. You can also try chocolates and baked goods such as cookies, cakes, and brownies. All of these provide an enjoyable way to get a potent and long-lasting high. 3. Beverages In the same vein as edibles, you can also use cannabis-infused beverages. These are drinks that are infused with the effects of THC. Much like edibles, the effects will take a while to kick in but can last for many hours. If you want a refreshing way to enjoy the effects of THC without eating anything, beverages are a great choice. Cannabis beverages can come in various forms. THC-infused tea is particularly popular, and you can even buy mixes such as MOTA Yoni Relax Tea and MOTA Iced Tea. Other hot drinks are also popular, such as cannabis-infused coffee or even Canna Cocoa. These are great for inducing relaxing effects in the evening. You can even make cannabis beverages yourself. All it takes is adding a small dose of Cannabis Oil to your juice, smoothie, or even to cocktails. THC Oil will give you powerful psychoactive effects even with a small dose, but you can also use CBD oil if you’re trying to avoid getting high. 4. Oils Cannabis Oils are one of the most convenient and practical cannabis-infused products you can buy today. These are liquid products that are packed with cannabinoids, making it easy to absorb them into your body and get the effects. You can use them anywhere at any time and you even have multiple ways to consume them. The most common method of using Cannabis Oil is to apply it underneath your tongue. You can measure your dose using the dropper and hold it under your tongue for around 30-90 seconds. The cannabinoids will swiftly be absorbed into your body and you’ll generally start to experience effects within around 20-30 minutes. Alternatively, you can also add Cannabis Oils to your food or drink. Although you shouldn’t heat it, you can easily mix it with other liquids or simply sprinkle some on top of your food. While THC Oil offers a convenient way to get high, CBD Oils are also incredibly popular for medical users. 5. Capsules Last but not least, Capsules are a great way to get the effects of marijuana when you don’t want to put any effort in. These products are incredibly simple- all you have to do is swallow a capsule, wash it down with some water, and wait for your body to digest the cannabinoids so you can experience the effects. THC Capsules each contain a small dose of THC, making it easy to get high without going overboard. If you feel like you need a higher dose, you can take more than one. However, in most cases, one is enough to get the effects you need. Other options are also available. Users looking for non-psychoactive effects can use CBD Capsules and you can even get 1:1 Capsules if you’re looking to consume both THC and CBD at the same time. Whichever way, Capsules make it quick and easy to get an effective dose of cannabinoids. Conclusion If you want to get high without smoking, you have plenty of options available. Vaping is a great alternative to smoking that gets you high just as fast whereas Edibles and Beverages will give you an even stronger and longer-lasting high. Oils and Capsules are also effective and make the whole process of getting high even more convenient.  It’s worth trying out a range of cannabis products, especially as some make more sense for certain situations than others. No matter how you prefer to get high, you can find all of these products and more at WCCannabis.
