Methods of Administration
There are a variety of methods and forms available to administer cannabis, with different onset times and duration's. For one persons consumption via cooking, we would suggest that you incorporate about a teaspoon into food if wanting a subtle high of something more intense try a tablespoon of butter or oil. But should be aware that effects vary from person to person. Have to consider tolerance, weight, height, how it’s dispersed, amount used, how much you eat etc...
Inhalation
Inhalation–either of smoke or through vaporization–is the fastest-acting method of administration. When inhaled, the active ingredients of the product pass directly into the bloodstream from the lungs. Pharmacological effects occur within 5-20 minutes of inhalation.
