As your favorite recreational and medical cannabis dispensary in the greater Eugene area, NoDak Green Prairie caters to every preference, need and expectation. We offer a wide variety of top quality products, strains and ways of consuming cannabis. We want to make sure you enjoy the most rewarding experience possible. Here’s a brief explanation of the four consumption categories, including inhalation, oral, sublingual and topical:
If you’re looking for almost immediate onset of effects, inhalation might be the right choice for you. Whether you smoke or vape cannabis, the active cannabinoids are absorbed into the bloodstream by way of the lungs.
Smoking
– Lighting cannabis flower and taking a puff is the most well-known and popular consumption method. There are easy-to-use pipes (bowls), water pipes (bongs), joints created by packing cannabis into rolling papers or blunts that use cigar papers.
Vaping
– Modern technology has led to vaping devices that heat cannabis flower or concentrate but avoid combustion, transforming cannabinoids and terpenes into vapor that is inhaled. There are vaporizers, available in tabletop and portable models, that take concentrate as well as flower. Vape pens use oils or distillates and consist of a cartridge and a battery. They can be refillable or disposable. Dabbing requires a dab rig, which uses a “nail” to heat the concentrate.
Edibles
– Our taffy, gummies, chocolates, cookies and more are infused with cannabis. Cannabinoids, such as THC and CBD, are absorbed through the digestive tract, delaying onset of effects from 30 minutes to three hours. Effects tend to be more intense and long-lasting. We recommend starting with the minimum dose and wait to consume more until full effects have been realized.
Beverages
– While our sodas and drink mixes are categorized as an edible, the cannabinoids are absorbed sublingually for quicker onset of effects.
Tinctures – Wonderfully discreet, portable and versatile, a few drops of a tincture placed and held under the tongue allows the cannabis to be absorbed sublingually for rapid onset of effects. You can also add tinctures to foods and beverages for consumption like an edible. The dropper method allows for accurate micro dosing.
Topical:
Topical Lotions & Bath Bombs – Cannabis-infused lotions are applied directly to the affected area, allowing the cannabinoids to be absorbed through the skin for localized relief. Our topical lotions and bath balms cause no psychoactive effects and are an ideal treatment for muscle soreness, pain, inflammation and stress management.
