I started off my cannabis journey as a strict flower smoker.
I wanted to save money and instead of buying pre-rolls, I did my own rolling process. I had to buy an ashtray, grinder, rolling papers, and of course the actual flower. It was expensive to start and a mess to maintain. There is so much waste when you roll your own. I am not a careful person. I always tend to make the joint way too big and then I can’t roll it properly. Half of it is vacuumed up by me the next day. Once my weed hits the rug, it is considered contaminated. I was sick of losing all my products and I wasn’t a huge fan of flower form. I ended up going to the recreational cannabis dispensary near me and asking for a recommendation. The budtender was wonderful and steered me towards the right product. He highly recommended that I try cannabis oil instead. This uses a vape rather than rolling papers. It is user-friendly since you just push a button that heats the oil. It is healthier since all the harmful carcinogens are being burned away. I like the lack of cleanup as well. I only have the vape, cartridge, and the lanyard I keep it on. That is it. I don’t lose half my product anymore. The tidy aspect alone would be why I would convert to solely using oil. But, there are just too many benefits to ignore. I would never go back to smoking a flower again.
