When it comes to medical cannabis, the choice of administration method greatly depends on the country. In Italy, there are essentially two main methods: inhalation and oral administration

Oil: This is the most common therapeutic form, which is essentially an oily extract obtained from the female cannabis flower. 

Resin: This is also another option, with a significant therapeutic potential of 60 times more concentrated than oil.  

Dried flowers: Dried flowers can be consumed in several ways, but are commonly consumed via a vaporiser during inhalation. 

Gastro-resistant decarboxylated capsules: In this form, capsules are activated through a heating process that makes them ready for oral administration. The capsules are gastro-protected to allow cannabinoids to pass through the acidic environment of the stomach unchanged and thus carry out their therapeutic action.
