So I need some realtalk by Lemmie’s resident stoners and possibly medical professionals on the benefits and risks/harms of vaping cannabis refill things on the respiratory system (using a rechargeable vape pen/battery thingy at the lowest heat setting).

Give it to me straight docs, whats up and how long do I have to live if I use it infrequently but potentially daily in small amounts?

    What you’re describing does exist. Google “THC inhaler” and you’ll see a few examples of it.

    I don’t use an inhaler like that, but I do use a dry herb vaporiser. You put your ground bud into it (like packing a pipe or bong), and it heats the flower to somewhere around 170-200 degrees Celsius. Since the temp is so low, the flower doesn’t burn it at all, so no smoke or ash is produced, only vapor. It’s so much better for you than combustion, relatively speaking, that my country’s rules for medical cannabis prescriptions say that prescribed flower should never be smoked, only vaporised.

        Tbh its not if you only cape pure stuff, but the extraction process, and even more so the additives companies legally can add after definitely are.

        A lot takes advice from nic gaping, which is pretty much just making a chemical soup solely to making smoking quicker and simpler.

        Stick to good extraction methods, and a concentrate vape instead of mixed then you should be good (CO2 instead of butane, diamonds, distillates are all good)
