MC : Absolutely . Each market serves different needs and consumer preferences . The key is ensuring that there are clear regulations and education so that consumers understand the differences and can make informed choices . There ’ s room for all three to coexist and thrive .
Dani B : You brought up an interesting point about learning how to use different consumption methods effectively , such as stacking your dosage or cannabinoids . Can you explain this concept further ?
MC : Stacking your dosage is a strategy that involves using different forms of cannabis to achieve both immediate and long-term relief . For example , you might take an edible for sustained relief over several hours and then smoke or vape cannabis for quicker , more immediate effects . This approach can help manage symptoms more effectively , providing a steady baseline relief from the edible while using smoking or vaping to address acute symptoms as they arise .
Dani B : What are your thoughts on intoxicating hemp products being used in medical and adultuse markets ?
MC : This is a controversial topic . On one hand , intoxicating hemp products , such as those containing Delta-8 THC , offer new avenues for consumers looking for legal alternatives to traditional cannabis . However , there are concerns about the lack of regulation and potential health risks . It ’ s important for regulators to establish clear guidelines to ensure consumer safety and product consistency .
