I only smoke Cannabis.  No way we no if vaping causes long term health problems...in 20 years we will know...the early users are guinea pigs.  As for Cannabis, it has been around long enough, so I think they have some idea if it causes long term health effects...I'll take my chances with Cannabis.

I do both, but vaping is wonderful for discretion.

Anyway, the below is from Weedmaps.  I trust them and other related sources, but as with most everything, I'm sure there are naysayers.

"The leading benefit for vaping weed is that it’s a healthier alternative to smoking flower, as vapor doesn’t release the tar and carcinogens created during combustion (the process of burning flower). Instead, vaporization entails a slightly more complex process that creates a phase transition from liquid to vapor."

I have a vap for my Cannabis...I do prefer the high from smoking it, but if I ever need a solid 10 hours sleep...I use oil and smoke...

Now does your vap have a temp setting?  Mine does, and I believe it needs to be vap at 360 or less otherwise carcinogens can be released (however, I have yet to see any reports that Cannabis caused cancer).

On the ones we have, there's a button to press that'll change the strength of the inhale (red, green, blue) but I'm not sure about the temperature side of things.  I buy all of my stuff from reputable growers, manufacturers and distributors, so I'm comfortable using them on a regular basis for vapes along with all of our cannabis needs.  My go-to will always be smoking the flower, though.

Maryland is changing the tobacco & e-cig  law to 21 & over in October. I think the e-cig industry needs to shy away from the whole "product that helps to quit smoking" campaign because that's a big crock of shit. I've not met one person who vapes that has actually used it as a cessation device. It's just a replacement.  And I've known a bunch of non-smokers who started vaping because it was cool.

This could have been the first generation to really stick it to the tobacco industry, but no, everyone's out there sucking on their douche flutes instead.

I quit a 30 year smoking addiction with e-cigs, and my best friend did too. That is what they mean when they say that. It helps people quit smoking cigarettes, which is a good thing. Replacing a carcinogenic habit with a non-carcinogenic one is definitely a positive. TONS of smokers quit by using e-cigs, so I don't understand why you think that's a crock of shit.

Anyway, prohibition is fucking stupid.

Do you still use e-cigs or did you also quit them after you were off cigarettes?  If you did both, congrats, you're the first person I know who has.  That's why I think the marketing around it is a crock of shit.  Didn't mention prohibition.

I just quit smoking in October. So I'm still using an e-cig... but I have no intention of quitting because I like it. I also liked smoking. I had no intention of quitting that until I realized e-cigs were a good replacement for me. I am an indulgent kind of person who enjoys her booze, weed, and inhalants, lol. But e-cigs are not anywhere near as bad as smoking is - not even remotely close, no matter what those hysterical headlines say - so it's not like it's an even trade-off the way you seem to be thinking it is. Dropping tobacco is a HUGE deal with positive health results. Replacing them with e-cigs is a good thing. But FWIW, yes, I know people who have moved off the e-cigs too, after they used them to quit smoking. But that said, keep in mind that the e-cig industry has NEVER claimed that people who use them as smoking cessation aids should only be using them temporarily. Of course not - they want people to keep using the product. I don't think they've misrepresented themselves at all on that one.

Agree 100% with everything you said. Congrats on quitting cigs in October. I quit in October as well thanks to vaping. Vaping is absolutely safer than smoking combustible, which will inevitably contain carcinogenics.

Even the womens olympic team agrees it should be legal

Hi!

I’ve found that being in a state of threshold conciseness while peaking on a edible can be quite a trip. What a great night of sleep after that wild ride.

Word. It’s the best sleep aid.
I was curious, I seen the tincture you had made in the other marijuana thread over in aet, how many doses you’re able to get out of just a half once of flower?

I’m not sure but it’s a lot, I’d venture to say 30 maybe more this morning I did a 3ml dose it’s damn good ! I went to the beach had great energy for a long swim 🏊‍♂️ that was at 11:30 this morning it’s now 2:40 I’m still  going good ..

Damn,I was under the impression you had to use a lot more flower to get that many, so sacrificing a 1/2 for 30+ doses ain’t bad. Looks amazing btw.

That person has to have a health Canada grow licence...

We are legally allowed to grow 4 plants under 100cm in height...but if you are health Canada approved, well you can grow a Cannabis tree...

I'm surprised it has not been legalized or decriminalized in Europe by now.  I thought Europe was far more liberal toward Cannabis.

lastexitlondon

Not here. Cant see it. The general mindset to cannabis is that is a DRUG . Although we are  a nation of alcoholics. Doesn't  add up

I think it will be legal someday in most of Europe.  In Canada it was a natural progression, under the previous conservative government they made getting a medicinal licence between you and your doctor...so in many ways its be de facto legal for a lot longer...most doctors would fill out the paperwork.  I kept my medicinal...it is far cheaper than government weed.  However, it did not need to be made legal...just remove it as a controlled substance...

I never viewed that I need a politicians permission to partake in the bud...been smoking since my teens...

And these jagoff politicians who oppose likely are poring scotch down their throat every night...politicians are nothing but hypocrites...

As you said, we have plenty of alcoholics and we know the damage done by booze...yet with Cannabis I've yet to read a concrete article that suggests it causes harm to adults.

lastexitlondon

The people here are banging on about psychosis  spelt wrong prob.  
Thats all they have but again the damage alcohol  causes is way more . And not to mention tobacco.  
It is a non arguement  to me
All i will  say is we have a generation  of teens right now dependent  on weed and they dont work and wonder around like zombies. 
We have a cocaine epidemic in london. That is huge here

Cannabis has never caused me to be less motivated.  Kids today are not always the most motivated, so it might not be just the weed...

I am a little surprised that a lot more countries have not removed Cannabis as a controlled substance by now.  Just goes to show you how much the pharmaceutical and alcohol industry has invested in governments world wide...
