Safe Consumption: How to Use Marijuana Responsibly
With medical and adult-use cannabis officially being legal in the state of Ohio, this is an excellent time to learn how to use marijuana responsibly and safely. Each method of consumption leads to different effect times. In the state of Ohio, the current legal methods of consumption are ingestion, vaporization, and topicals. We made it pretty easy for you with the chart below!
| Consumption Method | Product Type | Onset Time |
| Vaporization | Flower, Vapes, and Concentrates | Rapid
(Immediate – 10 min.) |
| Sublingual Ingestion (Under Tongue) | Tinctures | Rapid
(Immediate – 10 min.) |
| Topicals | Lotions and Salves | Intermediate
(20 -30 min.) |
| Ingestion | Edibles | Slower
(30 – 60 min.) |
With so many methods of consumption, we can understand that the world of cannabis can be daunting to new users. While edibles seem like a great entry point into the cannabis world, there is an important rule always to remember. START LOW AND GO SLOW. This means starting with a smaller dosage if you’re unsure how much. Follow the onset times on the chart above or the packaging. Exploring the methods of consumption that work for you takes time, so be patient and talk to your budtender. They are always willing and able to offer suggestions about all of our products in store. No matter where your cannabis journey takes you, we hope that you choose Pure Ohio Wellness to shop at!
