Quitting marijuana, music

[Tae]

Vaping comes with serious health risks. Look it up. Its not a safe alternative. It causes brain damage, specifically to the pre-frontal cortex, and extreme damage to the lungs, I do not recommend it as an alternative.

Are you talking about nicotine vapourisers which use the liquid, or the vapourisers which just use heating coils to bake the herb? I can't see how the latter would be any more harmful than lighting up a pipe or a joint.

That's correct. There are two different kinds of "vaping" and I am not recommending liquid, but the kind which uses heating coils to "bake" the herb but not combust it. It is by far a superior alternative to smoking when it comes to lungs and I guarantee it is not going to damage your brain any more than regular marijuana use. Anyone saying it causes more damage to the lungs is misinformed. It will cause less damage because of the lower temperature and the fact that you're not inhaling all of the ash substance, but only what's been boiled off of it.

Regarding liquid vaporizing. The reality is that we don't know the long term effects. There is a misinformation meme which got spread around Facebook and the like about "popcorn lung" which is very likely what you're thinking of for "extreme damage to the lungs". This is not based on facts and is fearmongering. The fact is that we don't know because liquid vapor as an alternative to smoking has not been around long enough to get a conclusive amount of data on its long term effects. It may in fact be more dangerous than smoking, but this cannot be said as a fact. I do not recommend the liquid vaporizing option.
