If you're new to cannabis, deciding between consuming gummies or smoking flower can be confusing. Each method has its own pros and cons, and this guide will help you understand which might be best for you.

1. Know the Onset Time

• Gummies: When you eat a cannabis gummy, the effects take longer to kick in—usually 30 minutes to 2 hours—but they last longer.
• Flower: Smoking or vaping cannabis flower has a much faster onset, with effects felt within minutes.

2. Consider the Dosage

• Gummies: With edibles, dosing is easy. Each Ignite gummy comes with a pre-measured amount of THC, so you know exactly how much you’re consuming.
• Flower: Dosing with flower is more flexible, but it can be harder to control how much THC you consume.

3. Think About Discretion

• Gummies: Gummies are discreet. You can pop one in your mouth without drawing attention.
• Flower: Smoking or vaping flower can be more noticeable because of the smell.

4. Duration of Effects

• Gummies: Since gummies take longer to process through your digestive system, the effects can last much longer—anywhere from 4 to 6 hours.
• Flower: Effects from smoking or vaping usually last 1 to 3 hours.

5. Experiment and Find What Works for You

Both methods have their pros and cons. Gummies are discreet, easy to dose, and long-lasting, while flower offers more immediate effects. At Ignite, we offer both gummies and flower, so you can experiment and find the best fit for your lifestyle.
