Does vaping weed have the same health risks as e-cigs?

[garybeck]

20. explanation:

there are different kinds of vaping.

1) if you are vaping the concentrates, oils, cartridges, .... that product is produced by mixing in other substances to bind with the THC or CBD. this can be vitamin E or a petroleum product like butane, or other unknown STUFF that isn't good for you. this applies to tobacco products too. so avoid the concentrates and the cartridges.

2) you can vape (vaporize) dry herb/flowers. this is totally different and actually WAY better for you than smoking. the material is the same stuff you've been putting in your pipe. you just put it in a "dry-herb vaporizer" and instead of lighting it on fire (and inhaling the fumes from your lighter) it just passes warm air over the material, which is good enough to capture the THC or CBD that you are after. there is no combustion and you avoid inhaling carcinogens that are produced when there is actual burning/combustion.

so my advice is to NOT VAPE CONCENTRATES that come in a cartridge. BAD SHIT!

but absolutely VAPE THE DRY HERB.

you need the proper tool for that. google "dry herb vaporizer" and you'll find lots of products and reviews and comparisons.

hope that helps
