(1,642 posts)Take a given amount, say a gram. I think I get four to five times the use and effectiveness with the vaporizer vs. combustion.
No ashtrays nor lighters required.
Vastly less coughing.

I was drug tested not long ago and the THC did not show up!
I don't use a lot but I thought it would show up.
Could this be another side benefit to vaping?
As far a a little goes a long way, you got that right.
Total agreement!

Did you smoke or vape? The claim is that vaping removes about 70% of anything that can harm you from it.
Another concern that I have is the chemicals that ARE USED on "organic crops". It is in fact a poison of Monsanto ---> Dow Chemical origin. It is called SPINOSAD. You can buy this poison on ebay.com for f's sake!
This poison is used not only on organic crops but also can be found in flea treatments being used on our dogs and cats! I had a cat that DIED from this crap of neurotoxic paralysis.
If growers are using the poison on the "organic" crops they are growing, it worries me greatly.
Glad you survived btw.

(111,101 posts)...will be 51 years since I smoked my first "joint", on a sand dune over-looking the coastal village of Cam Ranh in South Vietnam. I used to like sativa a lot, but lately have been drawn to stronger indica.
Luckily, I live in a state that has figured out a way to regulate it, at least to a degree. People that use it for medicine have been helped a lot with their passage of this law.
