The methods of ingestion are inhalation, oral, sublingual, and topical. Each has its own unique characteristics. - Inhalation - Inhalation is the fastest method of delivery to the consumer. When you inhale cannabis, the majority of cannabinoids enter the body through the lungs, where they are passed along directly into the bloodstream. The effect is almost instantaneous. - Oral - This can be in the form of edibles, tinctures, capsules, or oils. The onset for oral ingestion is slower, and the effects are stronger and last longer than with inhalation. - Sublingual - Cannabis can enter the bloodstream when placed under the tongue and held in the mouth. Forms of ingestion include tinctures.  - Topical - A final way to consume cannabis is through topical application. These come in the form of lotions, salves, bath salts, and oils that are applied to the skin. The cannabinoids penetrate the skin and work to reduce pain and inflammation.
