As marijuana legalization continues to expand and the legal market becomes more mature, consumers have access to a wider range of products than ever before.
While smoking flower remains one of the most recognizable methods of use, many consumers now prefer products that are more discreet, precisely dosed or easier to fit into daily routines. From pre-rolls and vape cartridges to edibles, drinks, tinctures and topicals, the modern marijuana market offers options for nearly every type of consumer.
Below are 50 of the most popular ways to consume marijuana today, with the list generally starting with more common methods and moving toward more specialized options.
Joints
Joints remain one of the most iconic and widely used ways to consume marijuana. Rolled with ground flower and rolling papers, they are portable, easy to share and require little more than a lighter.
Pre-Rolls
Pre-rolls are ready-to-smoke joints sold by licensed retailers. They are especially popular with consumers who want the convenience of a joint without needing to grind flower or roll it themselves.
Blunts
Blunts are typically made by rolling marijuana in a tobacco leaf wrap or a hollowed-out cigar. They are usually larger than joints, burn more slowly and are often shared in social settings.
Hand Pipes
Hand pipes, often called bowls, are small smoking devices that allow consumers to use flower without rolling papers. Their simplicity and portability make them a common choice for both newer and longtime consumers.
Bongs
Bongs use water to cool the smoke before it is inhaled, often creating a smoother and stronger hit than a dry pipe. They remain a popular option among consumers who prefer flower but want a more powerful smoking experience.
Vape Cartridges
Vape cartridges are prefilled with marijuana oil and attach to a rechargeable battery. Their convenience, portability and lack of strong smoke odor have made them one of the most popular legal-market products.
Disposable Vape Pens
Disposable vape pens combine the battery and oil cartridge into one device. They are designed for convenience and are often used by consumers who want a simple, ready-to-use option without buying separate hardware.
Edibles
Edibles include marijuana-infused foods such as gummies, chocolates, baked goods and candies. They are popular because they do not involve inhalation, though their effects can take longer to begin and often last much longer than smoking or vaping.
Gummies
Gummies have become one of the most common edible products in legal markets. They are easy to dose, discreet and available in a wide range of THC, CBD and balanced formulations.
Beverages
Marijuana-infused beverages include sodas, seltzers, teas, coffees and other drinks. They have grown in popularity as companies develop faster-acting formulas and products designed as alternatives to alcohol.
Tinctures
Tinctures are liquid marijuana extracts that are usually taken under the tongue or added to food or drinks. They allow for flexible dosing and are often used by consumers who want more control than traditional edibles provide.
Capsules
Marijuana capsules and softgels offer a measured dose of THC, CBD or other cannabinoids. They are discreet and familiar to consumers who prefer a product that feels similar to a standard supplement or medication.
Vaporizers
Dry herb vaporizers heat marijuana flower without burning it, producing vapor instead of smoke. Some consumers prefer them because they preserve flavor and may feel less harsh than combustion.
Dab Pens
Dab pens, also known as wax pens, are portable devices made for marijuana concentrates such as wax, budder or rosin. They offer a more discreet and mobile alternative to a full dab rig.
Dab Rigs
Dab rigs are used to vaporize marijuana concentrates by applying them to a heated surface, often called a nail or banger. Because concentrates are highly potent, this method is generally more common among experienced consumers.
Infused Pre-Rolls
Infused pre-rolls combine flower with concentrates such as kief, hash, oil, diamonds or live resin. They are typically stronger than standard pre-rolls and have become increasingly common in legal marijuana stores.
Bubblers
Bubblers are small water pipes that combine elements of hand pipes and bongs. They are more portable than most bongs while still using water to cool the smoke.
Spliffs
Spliffs mix marijuana and tobacco in rolling papers. They are more common in some regions outside the United States, but they remain a recognizable method among consumers who prefer the combined effects of cannabis and tobacco.
Chillums and One-Hitters
Chillums and one-hitters are small pipes designed for quick, single-use sessions. They are often used by consumers looking for a discreet way to consume small amounts of flower.
Hash
Hash is made from compressed trichomes, the resinous parts of the marijuana plant that contain cannabinoids and terpenes. It can be smoked on its own, added to flower or used in certain vaporizing devices.
Kief
Kief is the loose collection of trichomes that separates from flower, often collecting in the bottom chamber of a grinder. Many consumers sprinkle it on joints, bowls or pre-rolls to increase potency.
Moon Rocks
Moon rocks are made by coating marijuana flower in concentrate and rolling it in kief. They are known for their high potency and are usually smoked in pipes or bongs rather than rolled in papers.
Live Resin Products
Live resin is a concentrate made from fresh-frozen marijuana plants, helping preserve terpenes that can be lost during drying and curing. It is commonly used in vape cartridges, dabs and infused pre-rolls.
Rosin
Rosin is a solventless concentrate made using heat and pressure. It can be dabbed, vaped or added to flower, and is popular with consumers who prefer concentrates made without chemical solvents.
E-Rigs
Electronic dab rigs, or e-rigs, are battery-powered devices that heat concentrates without a torch. They have become popular among concentrate users who want more temperature control and a simpler setup.
Nectar Collectors
Nectar collectors are handheld devices used to vaporize concentrates directly from a container or surface. They are more portable than traditional dab rigs and are often used by consumers who want a quick concentrate session.
Gravity Bongs
Gravity bongs use water and air pressure to pull smoke into a chamber before it is inhaled. They can deliver very strong hits and are often considered more intense than standard smoking methods.
Cannabis Cooking Oils and Butters
Infused oils and butters allow consumers to cook or bake with marijuana at home. They are commonly used in brownies, cookies, pasta dishes and other homemade edibles.
Drink Drops and Mixers
Marijuana drink drops, syrups and liquid enhancers can be added to beverages. They offer a flexible way to create infused drinks without buying a premade marijuana beverage.
Cannabis Powders
Water-soluble marijuana powders are designed to mix into drinks or recipes. Many are made for faster onset than traditional edibles and are popular with consumers looking for a discreet, smoke-free option.
Lozenges
Lozenges, hard candies and dissolvable tablets are held in the mouth, allowing some cannabinoids to absorb through oral tissues. They can offer a middle ground between traditional edibles and sublingual products.
Sublingual Strips
Sublingual strips are thin dissolvable films placed under the tongue or inside the cheek. They are discreet, portable and often designed for relatively quick onset.
Oral Sprays
Marijuana sprays are applied under the tongue or inside the mouth. They are commonly used by consumers looking for controlled dosing in a product that is easy to carry.
Nanoemulsion Products
Nanoemulsion technology breaks cannabinoids into smaller particles that may absorb more efficiently. It is often used in beverages, capsules, gummies and other products designed for quicker or more predictable effects.
RSO and Full-Extract Cannabis Oil
Rick Simpson Oil, often called RSO, and other full-extract cannabis oils are thick, concentrated products usually taken orally or added to food. They are especially common among medical marijuana patients seeking high-potency options.
Topicals
Topicals include marijuana-infused creams, balms, lotions and salves applied directly to the skin. They are typically used for localized effects and generally do not produce the intoxicating high associated with THC inhalation or edibles.
Transdermal Patches
Transdermal patches are applied to the skin and release cannabinoids over an extended period. Unlike standard topicals, some patches are designed to deliver cannabinoids into the bloodstream.
Bath Bombs
Marijuana-infused bath bombs and soaks are used in bathwater for relaxation and skin-focused use. They are generally non-intoxicating and are more closely associated with wellness than traditional marijuana consumption.
Inhalers
Marijuana inhalers are designed to deliver a measured dose through the lungs, similar to the format of an asthma inhaler. They are discreet and allow for more precise dosing than many other inhaled products.
Suppositories
Marijuana suppositories are inserted rectally or vaginally and are most often used by medical marijuana patients. While not common among general consumers, they remain a recognized option for people seeking targeted or non-smoking methods.
Cannabis Nasal Sprays
Cannabis nasal sprays use the nasal membranes for absorption and are designed for fast, controlled dosing. They remain a relatively niche method, but they are used in some medical and specialty product markets.
Hot Knives
Hot knives are an older concentrate method that involves placing hash or resin between heated metal knives and inhaling the resulting vapor or smoke. It is far less common today, but it remains part of marijuana culture and helped pave the way for modern dabbing.
Cannabis Honey
Cannabis-infused honey can be stirred into tea, coffee, oatmeal or other foods. It is a discreet edible option that gives consumers an easy way to add marijuana to everyday meals or drinks.
Cannabis Teas
Marijuana-infused teas are made with cannabis extracts, infused honey, tinctures or specially formulated tea bags. They are popular with consumers looking for a smoke-free option that fits into a relaxation or nighttime routine.
THC Syrups
THC syrups are liquid marijuana products that can be taken directly or mixed into beverages. They are often sold in measured bottles and appeal to consumers who want an edible-style experience in drinkable form.
Cannabis-Infused Seasonings
Some companies sell marijuana-infused seasonings, sugars or salts that can be added to meals. These products allow consumers to incorporate cannabis into food without using traditional infused butter or oil.
Hash Holes
Hash holes are joints or pre-rolls that include a line of hash or rosin through the center of the flower. They have become a popular premium option for consumers who want a stronger and more flavorful smoking experience.
Cannabis Toothpicks
Cannabis-infused toothpicks are a niche but recognizable oral product, often designed to release cannabinoids slowly as they are held in the mouth. They offer a discreet, smoke-free option, though they are less common than gummies, drinks or tinctures.
