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?

      Can’t, asthma gets too exacerbated by it. Also, in most serious things I am a teenage girl (not really but I could definitely credibly be accused of being, lets say “a bit vanilla” lol

        If you want to vape, get a Volcano and go easy. Much better than any cartridge.

        If you have asthma don’t fuck around with inhalants. I’m a paramedic and I’ve seen too many people lately with asthma not responding to their daily inhaler (advair,breo,etc…) plus their nebulizer at home with Albuterol and ipratropium. Last shift I had two people who were dying from asthma exacerbations at home, one I managed to reverse with what I have and she left the ER 8 hours later and the other I prevented an intubation and he still went to the ICU. There’s too many irritants in the air for you to add more to yourself. Stick to edibles.

          Ya, shit. Dammit. There goes $100 :( O well, my health is obv way more important. Is there a way I can infuse things with the vape without necessarily breathing it in per se…?

        dont let folks peer pressure you thats how you get fucked up with a real drug.

        weed is ur drug free trial theres no strings attached and hardly any danger. you will be fine if youre getting your materials from trusted sources. (i smoked/vaped street for years and was fine but i dont recommend).

        the danger that exists is 99% fake and propagated stigma because america wants to enslave black people so badly

        and if you think im being cynical read about the stipulations of the 13th amendment, the drug war, neighborhood segregation, etc

        alcohol and tobacco lobbyists paid to demonize and criminalize marijauana to promote their business even though alcohol and tobacco are HORRIBLE for your body. so make your own opinions on this but weed has a bad wrap for quite literally no reason.

          Agreed that alcohol and tobacco are way worse, how they are legal and marijuana isn’t is laughable. It probably has a lot to do with race as you mentioned. I will say that marijuana is not nearly as researched as alcohol and tobacco so while I tend to agree that it is mostly harmless if used in moderation, we simply don’t have the data from long running studies to back that up.
