Edibles vs smoking is an interesting difference. Smoking is immediate whereas eating is delayed. Edibles are much stronger as it takes time to metabolise, and are usually made specifically at higher doses that are controlled. Smoking may have up to certain percentage of cannabinoids but feelings will vary person to person. Also, men and women metabolize weed slightly different due to hormonal differences, as a common byproduct is estrogen. The way you smoke isn't all that different in how it feels, it's a matter of how much goes in quickly. Bongs and bubblers (water pipes) filter out some tar and plant matter giving you a cleaner smoke. Blunts vs joints are that joints use standard hemp paper whereas blunts typically use tobacco leaf.
