There is another way to take cannabis, and it doesn't involve sticking it up your bunghole. You can make a simple but high quality herbal extract from it, then use a nubulizer/inhaler to spray it into your lungs, just like how people take that asthma medication. So this way you'd probably have to get cannabis from an herbal medicine store, but that's still a lot better than getting it as a medication. But smoking is still the nicest, most social way, which is of course why the government and prudes don't want people smoking it.
