"Methods of Ingesting Medical Marijuana" In Maryland, medical marijuana is legal, but you need a Catonsville medical cannabis card to be able to buy marijuana legally. One of the things that make marijuana so appealing to patients is that it is versatile. It can be ingested in several ways. Inhalation This method typically consists of smoking and vaping. Whether you smoke a joint, or you use a vaporizer pen, the smoke and vapor flows into the lungs and is then absorbed into the blood. This ingestion method makes for fast absorption and rapid effects. Oral Various marijuana products may be ingested orally. But this ingestion method causes the cannabinoids to be metabolized, and so, the effects are typically delayed. Always ensure you stick to the recommended dosage because overdosing can have serious effects. Sublingual This ingestion method involves placing marijuana underneath the tongue so that the cannabinoids may be absorbed into the bloodstream via sublingual blood vessels. This ingestion method also makes for fast absorption and rapid effects. Are you looking to start using medical marijuana?
