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?

    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.
