what is a smokeable?
smokeables are products that are created with the intention to be smoked or inhaled. our smokables come in either hemp or herbal blends in a classic preroll or loose flower.
smoking is one of the most popular methods of consumption among both hemp & cannabis users because the effects are felt almost immediately.
smoking works by heating plant material (such as hemp) to a temperature that releases the compounds inside. then, those compounds are released & inhaled through the smoke produced. once you inhale the smoke, the compounds enter into your lungs & eventually dissolve into your bloodstream. this process is fairly quick, meaning the effects are felt much faster, almost immediately.
like any method of consumption, there are many reasons why someone may or may not prefer smoking. so, we asked the smokers on our team what they thought. here's why they choose smoking as their preferred method of consumption:
fast onset: while the effects of smoking may not last as long as edibles, they occur much quicker. because of this, smoking is a better option for people looking for immediate relief from ailments.
controllable experience: when smoking, some find it easier to control their experience because of the fast onset of effects. this allows users to more quickly understand their limit & stop once they feel like they've had an adequate dose.
ritual & enjoyment: for some, like us, smoking is simply a ritualistic, enjoyable activity. it can be a good time to relax, unwind, & even meditate.
at hive & mind, we have two categories of smokeables: herbal & hemp.
herbal smokeables
our herbal smokeables contain a blend of different herbal ingredients that can provide a variety of effects. our herbal smokeables can be found in a cream container with green writing.
hemp-derived smokeables
our hemp-derived smokeables contain legal hemp & can provide intoxicating effects. on our products, smokeables that contain hemp are packaged in a green container with white writing.
new to smoking?
don't be afraid! we're here to answer any questions you may have. here's a few things we wish we knew our first time smoking.
1. find your safe space
we always recommend your first experience to be in a safe space where you feel comfortable. sit back, relax, & eliminate any distractions before you start.
2. massage your preroll
it might sound silly but it works! with prerolls, sometimes the flower inside gets compacted & can restrict airflow. our secret tip to combat this is to lightly roll the preroll between your fingers & "massage" it to loosen up the contents inside. be gentle!
3. hydrate!
if you've never smoked or vaped before, it can be a harsh experience on your lungs. remember to stay hydrated & keep a glass of water on hand.
4. slow down & enjoy it
remember, smoking can be a relaxing, ritualistic experience. take this time to take a few deep breaths & calm your mind. (we recommend finding somewhere with a beautiful view)
