Missouri residents with a medical marijuana card can opt for a milder cannabis smoking experience with new filtered medical marijuana smokes from Cowboy Cannabis. Filtered smokes allow patients to enjoy the healing power of cannabis without having to deal with the harsh effects that comes with unfiltered smoke.
The new filtered cannabis smokes come in a five pack and are a great option for those new to smoking cannabis, those without a lot of experience, or those sensitive to inhaling smoke. Unfiltered smoke can be uncomfortable on the throat and lungs, so many medical marijuana patients will be excited to try the filtered option.
Cowboy Cannabis Filtered Smokes Are Available at Greenlight Dispensaries
At the moment, these filtered smokes can only be found at Greenlight dispensaries, with locations in Poplar Bluff, Cape Girardeau, Sikeston, Harrisonville, and Independence. Cowboy Cannabis does supply products to additional Missouri dispensaries, so if you don’t have a Greenlight location nearby, it’s worth contacting your local Missouri medical marijuana dispensary to let them know you’d like them to stock filtered smokes.
The filtered smokes join a wide array of Cowboy Cannabis products, which include fruit-flavored gummy barrels, a long-cut cannabis chew, and their signature Cowboy Tarantula Blunt.
How Does a Filter Work?
Simply put, filters reduce much of the harshness that comes with inhaling smoke. Filters are designed to be used with marijuana products and allow THC, CBD, and other cannabinoids through, while allowing less smoke to be inhaled, making for a more comfortable smoking experience.
There are different types of filters, including filter tips also known as a crutch, that stop loose pieces of cannabis from being breathed-in. You can also purchase a carbon filter that will stop resin and tar from being inhaled.
There Are Many Ways to Smoke Medical Marijuana
In addition to the aforementioned filtered cannabis pre-rolls, there are several ways to smoke medical marijuana. Individual patients will find pros and cons to each, but here are some of the most common methods:
Joints
Joints are your classic medical marijuana cigarettes. If you don’t want to roll your own, you can purchase pre-rolls at your local dispensary. If you are rolling your own joints and want a less-harsh experience, as we mentioned earlier, you can purchase a marijuana filter tip which will prevent you from breathing in loose pieces of cannabis when you inhale. You can also purchase carbon filters, which block out harsh resin and tar while allowing THC and CBD through. Traditional cigarette-style filters may block THC, so opt for a carbon filter instead of one of those.
Bongs
Bongs have been around for centuries, and don’t let college stoner stereotypes dissuade you. They are a very effective delivery method for medical marijuana patients.
According to Healthline, bongs may have gotten their name from a Thai word “baung,” which is a bamboo tube used to smoke cannabis. Bongs are water pipes and come in all shapes and sizes, and they offer a smoother hit than joints or blunts with a fuller marijuana taste.
Bongs can be intimidating for those who are newer to smoking cannabis, but with a little knowledge, you may find a bong is your preferred method for consuming medical marijuana.
Pipes
Pipes are a little less intimidating than bongs and are the way to go if you’re looking for portability and convenience. Pipes can be made of various materials, but we recommend purchasing a sturdy glass pipe.
Vaping
Vaping technically isn’t smoking. When you vape marijuana, you are heating up water vapor and breathing in what is essentially marijuana-infused steam. When your medical marijuana is vaped at just the right temperature, it brings out the flavors and effects of the terpenes of your chosen strain.
In addition to being smoke-free, vaping can be more economical than smoking cannabis. There are various methods of vaping ranging from vaporizing flower product to oil-based THC concentrates.

The Choice Is Yours
When it comes to taking your medicine, you can consume your medical marijuana in whatever manner you see fit. In the end, how you choose to get relief is up to you!
If you aren’t sure what would work best for you, we recommend having an honest conversation with a cannabis doctor and a specialist at your local dispensary and trying a few options until you find what works best. It’s worth taking the time to find your preferred method so you get the very best out of your medical marijuana experience.
