Smoking or inhaling will bring about the fastest onset of cannabis, which is useful for quick relief of symptoms. The effects will typically take place within minutes and last between 1-4 hours.

Tictures / extracts: by placing several drops in the mouth and holding it there for a short amount of time, the extract will get absorbed by the blood vessels and have an approximate onset time of 15min, with a duration of 2-6 hours.

Topical treatment by applying a cannabis lotion to the area directly. This method is excellent for treating local pain or inflammation, without the psychoactive effects of cannabis.

Ingesting: Consuming products containing cannabis by mouth, will have the slowest onset and can take up to two hours to begin feeling any effect (caution must be taken to avoid ingesting too much during this waiting period). Although edibles may have the slowest onset, they have the longest duration, ranging from approximately 4-10 hours (and in some cases even longer). The type of edible will also determine the time it takes to feel the effect, with hard candies acting quicker.
