Effects of the drug on the body Cannabinoids can be used both medically and recreationally Recreationally, THC is used as a psychoactive that produces feelings of euphoria, enhancement of sensory perception, and muscle relaxation. THC also impairs memory and makes concentration more difficult over long periods of use Medically, CBD and CBN are used as a non-psychoactive anti-inflammatory, antidepressant, and natural painkiller

Route of Administration There are three basic delivery methods: inhalation, oral, and topical. smoking and vaporization. hand pipes, water pipes, rolling papers, hookahs, and homemade one-time use devices. Each of these provides different experiences and influence the grade of smoke inhaled. Tinctures are a liquid cannabis extract used by consumers looking for dosage control and fast-acting effects without the health risks associated with smoking. Ingestible oils are a happy medium between edibles and concentrates: they are swallowed and digested like an infused product, but often have the consistency of oil. Edibles can be defined as any food that contains cannabis, whether or not the cannabinoids are bioavailable. Topical cannabis administration utilizes full cannabis extract — a thick oil that has been decarboxylated to activate cannabinoids.
