Can you Dip Weed

Dipping is something you do with tobacco, but does it work for weed? Yep, it does. This is actually something that people are using as a different way to utilize these chews. They’re usually made with plant fibers though such as coco coir and the like. While there are commercial products, don’t chew flour that’s not decarbed, since it’s not going to taste that good. 

Dipping Weed 

This is something that’s become more and more prevalent, as commercial types of cannabis is something that’s becoming popular, but dipping is not the most common way to use it. Some people like to dip weed though because it’s great for reducing the cravings for tobacco. 



This works the same way that chewing tobacco does, where it sits between where the cheek and the gums are. Depending on your needs, you can hold it and chew it for up to an hour most of the time. However, if you’re just going to randomly grab a bud and chew on it, it’s not going to actually work. There are a few reasons for this, which include: 

  • Those dips that are available usually have coco coir or another substrate, and they isolate the THC and CBD. They don't have just plant material in this. 

  • It also is going to be decarbed commercially.  If you want to feel the effects with dipped weed, you must heat it up, in order to change the acids to the compounds that you normally have.

  • It’s also not that effective. You’re not getting a ton of CBD and THC. This usually has a lot of THC to make it effective, so it’s going to cost a bit more than say if you vaped or smoked the flower 

Raw cannabis isn’t effective when you dip it, but more than that, it also contains some bacteria such as E.coli, which can kill you.  During the heating process,. This is killed, but if you ingest this as a raw flower, it’s going to be a bit harmful for you. This is something that's a major safety concern for those that like to use products that aren't supposed to be dipped.



Some of the companies that are building this utilize manufacturing to create complex forms of extractions in order to get the desired results from this. 

Can you get high 

It depends on the type of dip that you’re deciding to use.

There is a CBD dip, but that won't get you high.

Usually, the THC ones are basically going to get you high because that’s the purpose of them.

THC dips are like edibles, as this will basically do into your saliva, hit the bloodstream and liver and then create the other compounds. It might create a much bigger, more delayed type of reaction compared to those that like to vape or smoke weed. 

How to use this 

This is something that’s usually found in some pouches, where you let it sit in your mouth, and the cannabinoids slowly get  released. There are others that are actually chewed like chewing forms of tobacco. It’s not recommended that you make your own ever due to the harm from this.This is a great alternative for those who want a smokeless type of cannabis product, and some like the way that it sits. For those who are trying to quit tobacco, they’ve found relief, as it’s a good alternative.



It’s not the ideal way to consume cannabis and shouldn’t be used unless you decide to use it, but definitely look at the possibilities of using this as well.
