Welcome Shyann and actually there are several different ways to use MM other than smoking which would cause more issues in patients with COPD or other lung related problems. In most cases your Dr would have to be onboard and write all forms or alternative forms to satisfy most dispensaries.
The dispensers generally offer edible products sold as brownies,lollipops,candy,etc. They also offer topicals,oils,and tinctures. If you're into making your own there are numerous websites containing recipes for the edible and instructions for making gels and lotions. Its also sold in whats known as hash and thats the resin of the plant and its supposedly the strongest form of THC and therefore a bit difficult to control amounts your getting but its great for soda,tea,and adding to other ingested items.
Most people preferring an alternative to smoking go with vaporizing and its safer than actually smoking. The dispensers can direct you to the best kind and price ranges to fit your needs.
That's what I know and if others here have anything to add they will be along to do that although the forum tends to be a little slower over the weekend. Keep checking back. Again welcome and we certainly understand pain here and how it gets so tiring.
