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?

    I don’t know what you are talking about. I don’t know of any legitimate inhaled drugs that aren’t for treating the lungs.

    Are you maybe thinking of narcan? It can treat an overdose of fentanyl.

      Methoxyflurane is still widely and legally admistered as a vaporised drug. All hail the green whistle.

      Every anaesthsiologist will tell you that there a few inhaled drugs, such as sevoflurane, isoflurane and desflurane. We use them every day. They are vaporized and inhaled.

        Those are not treating anything, are not meant for habitual use, and aren’t available for individuals.

          Sevoflurane can be used as add-on treatment for Asthma in Life-threatening cases. But I know that‘s beside the point and I agree that there is no vaporized treatment for individuals.

      No, I believe there’s literally an aerosolized fentanyl I believe as a marketed drug. I may also be thinking of when Russia dealt with a hostage situation with aerosolized fentanyl or a more potent relative. But I was certain theres a marketed version for sick folks
