For pharmaceutical use, the flower tops must meet the standards of GMP certifications.  As mentioned earlier, the most commonly used form of cannabis is the extracted oil. Vaporization also represents an excellent method for administering medication in cases of acute pain, spasticity, and as symptomatic treatment. The absorption of active ingredients occurs very rapidly, with the peak reached in just a few minutes and lasting for about 3 hours.  Vaporization differs from smoking, which is highly discouraged as direct combustion destroys some of the cannabinoids and is harmful to the lungs.  Decoction is no longer given much consideration in favor of oil, which undoubtedly presents a better therapeutic option in terms of effectiveness and practicality.  [Watch the expert's video on GQC website](https://glocalqualitycannabis.com/blog/what-are-the-main-differences-between-different-products-in-terms-of-quality/) ![PQE The expert Voice-Pharmacy- Quest_9](https://blog.pqegroup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/PQE%20The%20expert%20Voice-Pharmacy-%20Quest_9.jpg?width=2000&name=PQE%20The%20expert%20Voice-Pharmacy-%20Quest_9.jpg) ## Want to know more?
