== Administering cannabis ==
There are various other ways to administer cannabis methods besides smoking it:
=== Vaping cannabis ===
[[File:Shatter marijuana concentrate.jpg|thumb|right|240px|[[w:Cannabis concentrate|Cannabis concentrate]] known as "shatter"]]
* '''Vaping''' (short for vaporizing), a method where the plant material is heated hot enough for the cannabinoids to become gaseous but cold enough that the plant matter does not combust and thus '''avoiding the carcinogens''' that come from burning the plant matter. Vaping is also the preferred method to consume '''[[w:Cannabis concentrate|concentrates]]'''.

=== Oral cannabis ===

* '''[[w:Cannabis edible|Edibles]]''', '''[[w:Tincture of cannabis|tinctures]]''' and '''[[w:Hash oil|cannabis oil]]''' may be administered orally. Cannabinoids are soluble to alcohol and to fat and cannabis can be infused into many forms of edibles, but the problem is with efficiency as your stomach acids will destroy a lot of the cannabinoids.
