    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.
