Understanding the Different Forms of Medical Cannabis
Brought to you by PascoMJMD | www.pascomjmd.com
Helping patients in Pasco County and beyond find safe, effective relief with medical marijuana.
Medical cannabis is more versatile than ever before. Whether you're managing chronic pain, anxiety, cancer-related symptoms, or PTSD, choosing the right form can make a big difference in your symptom control and quality of life.
At PascoMJMD, we guide our patients through these options with a personalized care approach tailored to your unique medical needs. Here’s a breakdown of the most commonly used delivery methods—and what makes each one effective.
🌸 1. Raw Flower (Smokable)
The most traditional form of cannabis, flower is usually smoked in a joint, pipe, or bong.
Why Patients Choose It:
Fast symptom relief
Full-spectrum benefits from cannabinoids and terpenes
🔍 PascoMJMD Tip: Smoking is fast-acting, but we also help patients explore safer alternatives like dry herb vaporizers.
💧 2. Oral (Capsules, Powders, Drops, RSO)
Oral cannabis is absorbed through the digestive system and provides longer-lasting relief.
Ideal for:
Chronic pain
Insomnia
Neurological symptoms
Ask about RSO (Rick Simpson Oil)—a highly potent extract we discuss with qualified patients at PascoMJMD.
🍪 3. Edibles (Gummies, Baked Goods, Chocolates)
Tasty, discreet, and long-lasting, edibles are great for patients who prefer a smoke-free route.
Onset: 30–90 minutes
Duration: 6–8 hours
🎯 Our PascoMJMD physicians help you determine proper starting doses to avoid overmedicating.
👅 4. Sublingual (Tinctures & Lozenges)
These products are absorbed under the tongue for faster effects than edibles.
Best For:
Anxiety
Breakthrough pain
Quick symptom onset without inhalation

💨 5. Inhalation (Vape, Kief, Concentrates)
Inhalation methods offer the fastest relief and come in several forms like vape pens, kief, or wax concentrates.
Caution: These forms can be very potent. At PascoMJMD, we educate patients on safe, appropriate use based on their condition.
🧴 6. Topicals (Creams, Gels, Patches)
Topicals are perfect for localized relief with zero psychoactive effects.
Great For:
Arthritis
Muscle soreness
Skin inflammation
💡 We often recommend transdermal patches for patients needing longer-lasting, body-wide relief.
💊 7. Suppositories (If Needed)
While not widely used, suppositories are a helpful option for patients who can't tolerate oral or inhaled cannabis.
Helpful For:
GI disorders
Cancer care
Post-surgical nausea
We only recommend this route after thorough evaluation at PascoMJMD.
