    A joint and a pipe are very similar.

    A bong is the same thing but you can smoke way more at once so it hits you harder and faster.

    A blunt is basically a giant joint but it’s wrapped in tobacco paper so you get a little extra tobacco buzz alongside the weed.

    The biggest difference with edibles is that because you eat them and they have to go through your digestive system (rather than through your lungs), there’s like a 45m delay before you feel anything. That means is really easy to eat some, think ‘i don’t feel anything, I should double up my dose’ and then get way too high.

    That being said there is also evidence that when cannabis is processed through the digestive system there are enzymes that turn them into different cannabinoids, so you edibles probably do genuinely produce a slightly different high

      All accurate, for completion I would also add:

      Joints are just weed wrapped in a thin paper, smoked like a cigarette.

      Bongs have water which cools the smoke down a bit and allows for bigger hits. You also inhale the smoke straight into your lungs as opposed to pulling it into your mouth and then inhaling like with a joint.

      A spliff is a joint mixed with tobacco, gives you more of the tobacco buzz but hits much harsher than a blunt

      Edibles can also last a lot longer than smoking (and obviously better for your lungs). Smoking gets everything in your system at once, lasting for up to an hour or two (at least for some people), while edibles start working while they’re being digested and continue working for a few hours at least.

      In my experience, the high is just slightly different with each method, with the biggest difference being between smoking and eating edibles.
