Realtalk on vaping cannabis vape refill thingies

cheese_greater@lemmy.world to Asklemmy@lemmy.ml – 50 points –

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?

Nothing you inhale is good for you, but vaping is significantly better than smoking. It's not even a comparison.

If you are going to inhale something, make it a vape

I haven't seen any studies on that for cannabis. For tobacco I agree that is absolutely true.

Any inhaled particulate matter from combustion is bad for you. Tobacco products add extra chemicals that make them worse, but just smoke from a regular fire can cause health problems. Cannabis is no exception, despite how much we want the opposite to be true.

I'll edit this post to add a study when I get to my desk

Edit: Here's a pdf
