Smoking anything isn’t great for you, regardless of what it is. However, one important point is that most people don’t smoke pack-a-day quantities worth of weed like is apparently considered normal with cigarettes. (Rastafarian religious figures possibly exempted.) There is a significant difference in magnitude, here.
Not to mention the who knows what gets put into commercial cigarettes.
Yeah, inhaling burning plant matter is never good for you. If you smoke weed for a long enough time, you lungs aren’t pink anymore. Dry herb vaporization so far seems to be the least harmful, but it’s not like it’s not at all bad for our lungs. It’s immature and foolish to pretend the things you like have fewer drawbacks than they actually do, and it ultimately hurts global legalization efforts.
When my vape breaks down and I have to smoke for a few weeks, I definitely feel it in my lungs after a while.
I had to stop using dry herb vaping. The effects were not enjoyable. I just switched to smoking a bowl, and it was far more enjoyable.
I’ve been meaning to make a post about it on here…
Interesting! I find some vapes make some pretty weak tea, it could just be the one you used or too low a temperature setting? I have an Arizer Solo II and set it at max temp, it is far more potent than others. But that said, a vape high isn’t the same, for sure, maybe it does just suck for you, which is a shame. I have that problem with edibles, they don’t seem to work on me. Same with antidepressants, lol.
Man I’ve tried every temp in the range for cannabinoids and terpenes to test for effects. I landed between 365 and 390.
I consume type 2 bud, but a friend of mine is good ol regular high thc bud and I sent him the same vape to try. He ended with the same conclusion.
I haven’t tried edibles, but I have some low dose ones on hand. I just don’t like how long it takes to kick in. I’m too impatient for that honestly.
+1 on antidepressants lol shit almost killed me a few times.
To be fair, weed is bad for your lungs when smoked. People should probably keep that in mind when choosing whether to use edibles, or to smoke.
I vape. Its prob still worse than edibles, but better than smoking. Lower temps at least
I vape once a day before sleep most days (can’t sleep without it, I’m old, tried everything else). I also use an edible (vape let’s me sleep, edible keeps me sleeping).
I usually dry herb vape but on a recent trip I picked up a cartridge and battery. I find it’s less harsh (if temp is lower) but you need to take way more drags to get medicated.
To be clear, I’m a lightweight and typically do one “dynavap” which is about .1g I think.
Based on that, I think dry herb vaping is “better” than carts.
Thoughts?
Edit: homemade edibles in case people think I’m a Richie Rich.
Dry herb vaping is definitely better for your lungs than carts.
I do think so too. Looking forward to definitive research.
@NocturnalMorning @trees My doctor said it was a worldddd of difference between dry herb vape and smoking. Much healthier.
I’ve had a pax3 for about 3 years. The smoke is cleaner for sure, but for some reason, it always makes me feel like shit compared to joints. I clean it regularly too
Edibles and inhalation are very different methods of cannabis consumption though. You’re not even technically consuming the same compound, and that doesn’t even take into effect the chemistry that happens inside of your body. While eating edibles is definitely healthier overall, the difference in effects and how your body processes each should definitely be taken into consideration
That is probably the alcohol companies trying to get people back on weed. Or just a bunch of teetotalers that don’t like people getting high
Probably both. A lot of them are pissed because it’s harder and harder to both continue firing people for thc and stay staffed. They want to have their cake and eat it too. Adapt to the times or fuck off.
Which specific negatives we talking here? Cannabis isn’t as bad but there’s a lot of overlapping negatives.
Facebook is gonna facebook
“Smoking” is synonymous with tobacco use, and “smoking” anything causes damage. That’s a super easy switch to flip for social media purposes.
I haven’t, but I know that some stoner cultures are heavy on mixing it with tobacco, to the point of spliffs being the norm and joint with 100% weed being an oddity.
Yea, that’s how it is most often rolled in France. I learned of the existence of pure joints just recently.
I’ve seen this pop up recently. It may have something to do with another state legalizing it’s use.
Nope
