Undesirable side effects of marijuana hit the lungs, throat and sinuses more quickly when it’s smoked.
Shocking and Drying Out the Brain
I’ve observed that smoking marijuana long-term has a much more dramatic drying and shocking effect on the brain than if it’s ingested.
Cottonmouth and the Oral Mucosa
Part of the drug enters the bloodstream via the oral mucosa. This enhances cottonmouth.
Vessels of the Heart
Effects on the vessels of the heart are more dramatic when marijuana is smoked rather than ingested.
The fire of marijuana likes to synergize with the fire of the heart.
