Marijuana can be an effective treatment when it comes to pain. But, not everyone likes smoking or vaping this fabulous plant. Thankfully, there is a variety of cannabis products that come in forms that do not require smoking or vaping.
Today, you can find cannabis in the form of oil, tinctures, candy, chocolate bars, butter, and other forms, that offer you the possibility of ingesting it. You can even find marijuana for topical use in the forms of creams and lotions.
The following weed products might be ones you have not yet heard of, but they might ideal if you wish to enjoy the health benefits of cannabis without risking any irritation or damage to your lungs.
Cannabis-Infused Tea
According to a recent study, consuming marijuana-infused tea may effectively alleviate chronic pain. There are a couple of brands on the market that are selling hemp tea, but this product is one that you can make at home.
Cannabis-infused tea isn’t necessarily fast-acting, meaning it may take a while until you will notice the effects, but it offers long-lasting administration.
If you wish to make this tea yourself, you can use cannabis stems. Bake them in the oven for about 45 minutes at 225 Fahrenheit (or 107 Celsius). Once the time is up, let the stems cool down, after which you can grind them up. Using a tea diffuser (if you do not own one, simply place them in a pot of boiling water), let the ground stems steep in boiled water for about 10-15 minutes. From here, you can pour it out into your cup using a cheesecloth, or something similar.
Bath Salts
There are many positive reviews about the Epsom Salt Bath Soak created by Whoopi & Maya. Yes, yes, we are talking about actual bath salts. This product is designed in a way that helps combine the warm water with marijuana’s pain relief properties, which makes this product quite potent according to their customers.
Marijuana-Infused Gum
There are a few of these products on the market, so let’s talk about a few of them.

Cannabis As A Topical Lotion
