Smoking Cannabis For Beginners
A beginner-friendly guide to smoking cannabis: how much to start with, what gear you need, what to expect, and how to buy tested products safely.

If you want the best way to smoke cannabis, start with a dry herb vaporizer. It delivers the cleanest flavor, the smoothest draw, and the most control over temperature, which matters whether you are enjoying high-CBD hemp flower or a balanced hybrid. Below we compare our top pick against the most common alternatives so you can choose the method that fits your routine.
Our top-pick vaporizers use medical-grade stainless steel, borosilicate glass, and ceramic heating elements. The mouthpieces are either glass or food-grade silicone, and the herb chambers are sized for 0.1 to 0.3 grams. Most units measure between 4 and 7 inches tall and weigh under 12 ounces, so they fit in a pocket or a small case. If you prefer a more traditional session, a borosilicate glass hand pipe or a water pipe with a quartz banger gives you direct, conduction-style heat. Pre-rolled cones made from unbleached hemp paper are the simplest option for sharing, though they burn hotter and produce more smoke than a vaporizer.

Yes, for most people it is. Vaporizing heats the flower without combustion, so you get more flavor and fewer irritants, and you can dial in the exact temperature that works for you.
A glass hand pipe or a water pipe cools the smoke and is easy to load, while pre-rolled cones are the fastest option. They are all valid, but they produce more tar and odor than a vaporizer.
Absolutely. CBD hemp flower vaporizes at the same temperatures as THC flower, so any dry herb vaporizer that reaches at least 350°F will work well.
