5 Medical Marijuana Accessories That Can Help Patients

Today’s medical marijuana card holders have it better than ever. Thanks to the advent of the MMJ card, we now have a booming medical marijuana market that not only provides users with the miracle plant, but also gives them a whole host of handy accessories to consume it with.

Long gone are the days where you’d have to roll a joint with some paltry papers and a cardboard roach to be soothed by MMJ. Nowadays, with a little help from these excellent accessories, you can consume medical marijuana in more ways than you can count.

Let’s take a look at some MMJ accessories that are helping out patients across the country.

Medical Marijuana Card

First and foremost, the most important medical marijuana accessory that MMJ patients need is their medical marijuana card. Without this, you won’t be able to access MMJ and thus, you won’t have any need for any of the other accessories on this list!

Getting your California MMJ card is a really easy process. First, you fill out a simple questionnaire about things relate you to and your ailment. After this, you’ll be connected to MMJ Recs’ HIPAA telemedicine platform to complete an online consultation with one of our state licensed physicians. This consultation is an easy and noninvasive process, and you’ll find out then and there if you’re eligible for your medical marijuana card.

If you’re found to be suitable for the medical marijuana program, you’ll be emailed your MMJ card recommendation right away, with the embossed official copy being sent to you the next day. For information on how to get a medical marijuana card in New York see our article here.

Vaporizer

There are many types of MMJ vaporizers, including basic, cheaper models that look like cigarettes, to expensive, state-of-the-art balloon vaping machines.

Vaporizers are fast becoming the most popular way for medical marijuana card holders to consume MMJ. The main appeal of vaporizers is that they don’t force the user to inhale smoke the way that smoking does. As well as this, when you vape your MMJ – as opposed to smoking it – you’re not destroying any of the all-important cannabinoids inside the plant. These cannabinoids are what make your MMJ ease your pain, so you want to keep as much of them jam-packed into your cannabis as possible.

The way a vaporizer works is by heating the MMJ to just below 400°F, releasing the THC inside. This creates a plume of MMJ-infused vapor, which is then quickly inhaled by the user as they pull on the end of the vaporizer. As there is nothing being burned, no smoke is created – meaning that not only is vaporizing better for your lungs, it’s also a lot more discreet.

Vaporizers come in all shapes and sizes, from ones disguised to make them look like a cigarette, to bigger balloon vaping machines. We suggest that you take your time choosing you vaporizer and that you invest in one of good quality.

A Good Container

While it may seem obvious, investing in a good container for your medical marijuana is really important. MMJ is a very sensitive plant that needs to be kept in a secure place in order to stay in good condition. If weed is kept in an unsuitable carrier, it will either be lost, damaged or gone stale before you realize it.

Medical marijuana containers come in many diverse forms. Some people like the idea of keeping it in a simple wooden box, which can also store all of their other accessories. Although these are great for keeping at home, they’re not ideal for carrying around with you while you go about your day-to-day business.

Another container popular with MMJ card holders is the Medtainer, a purpose-built medical marijuana holder that is airtight and portable. This will keep your MMJ nice and safe when you’re out and about, and its design means it’s not obviously a weed container – important when you’re trying to be discreet.

If you’re looking for something even simpler, opt for a Stink Sack. These plastic pockets are smell proof and come in a childproof variety, making them very popular among MMJ card carriers with kids.

Pipe

Regardless of what your preferred method of consumption is, it’s always handy to have a pipe. Pipes can easily be thrown in your pocket and carried around – should you be struck with the urgent need to consume some MMJ. Unlike other consumption methods, all you need to do with a pipe is pop in some MMJ, light it up and you’re good to go.

Like vaporizers, pipes come in all shapes and sizes, and can be made from glass, metal, wood and plastic. Although plastic pipes are in circulation, we would strongly advise that you never use one, as you’re risking inhaling harmful toxins.

The Monkey Pipe is a simple, handy pipe that is perfect for keeping in the bottom of your bag. Another healthier option would be the Perfect Pipe, a pipe that is similarly easy to carry around, and one that maximizes on THC transfer.

It’s prudent to shop around when deciding on what pipe to use. Although it’s not as important as choosing a vaporizer, you should still choose your pipe wisely to give your body the best it deserves.

Rolling Machine

Rolling the perfect marijuana joint takes experience, so it may be better for you to invest in a rolling machine.

If you’ve ever tried rolling a joint with no experience, you’ll know exactly how hard this seemingly easy process can be. Learning how to roll can be a long, drawn out process, and even those well-versed rollers can have bad days where their joints leave a lot to be desired.

While this may not be a major problem for recreational users, for medical marijuana card holders, it’s important not to waste your plant in poorly constructed joints. To avoid any rolling-related stress, it’s advisable to invest in a rolling machine. Rolling machines, like this one from RAW, make it so you don’t have to worry about rolling the perfect joint. This can be of immeasurable benefit for arthritis sufferers whose dexterity has been depleted by their ailment.

Although this is only a short list, there are still tons of other great products out there, each designed to make the lives of MMJ patients all the more easy. As the world continues to become more MMJ-friendly, we’ll see even more useful medical marijuana accessories come onto the market.

When it comes to choosing what accessories are best for you, shop around, consider everything and choose wisely.
