Hey guys, so as some of you know I'm from south Africa and since our recent move towards legalisation more and more contraversing articles are surfacing. This is the link to one, whats your opionon on it? I believe it's really hyped up, I was a ex combuster for 6 years before switching to vaping which I have now been doing for 3 years.

Off topic but what's the attitude towards cannabis and cannabis users in SA from the general population?

There has been a few national polls for votes and on average 72% of the votes were for the legalisation.

This study keeps surfacing and what it fails to call out is they compared test groups consuming the same amount by weight of cannabis through combustion and through vaporization. We know (FC’ers) from experience that vaporization is far more efficient than combustion, however the study fails to acknowledge the difference in efficiency. In other words it is total Caca/BS/Crap.

I throughout agree on the 'Caca' part.

The word "intoxication" in the title comes off pretty strong.

Not to mention 67% got dry mouth oh man, they were probably too intoxicated to even get a glass of water.

Well at least it does comfrim what we all already know , that is vaping is stronger (more efficient ). In regard to THC

The evidence is in the blood test

It seems like they tried to put a negative spin on vaporizers being more efficient at extracting the high-inducing chemicals in Cannabis.

It's not like people can't just vaporize less and turn that into a positive thing.

Ya glad, we all on the same page. Yes I agree that they were trying to put a negative spin on it. I mean I full on microdose and I can make 1 bowl of my Miqro last me 5 days and be very satisfied with the results each time I use it. So that's 0.1 - 0.15 grams a week wich is crazy small amounts but it does all I need and more.

I also believe they havnt taken tolerance into account. Also they're choice of wording is terrible. " intoxicated "

Cannabis is an intoxicant.

Cannabis vaporizing propaganda, sounds like to me. Smoking cannabis is way more harmful than vaporizing. Usually vaporizing is well below the temp that folks smoke joints at. Too many carcinogens in smoking cannabis.

You will notice the health advantages if you are a long time cannabis user and have switched from smoking your herb to vaporizing. My health improved greatly far as lung function and stamina. Let alone not catching every cold virus that came along.

Many areas where cannabis is becoming more acceptable there are those that like to spread misinformation with scare tactics.

I no longer wheeze at night in bed, and cut my consumption down by a third without trying when I switched to vaporising after years of smoking...

All I take from that article is the confirmation that vaporizers are a far more efficient way of consumption. That's it.
I almost find it more annoying than the reports filled with outright lies. There are some idiotic comments amongst the rest of the rubbish.
The side effects are laughable compared with the damage caused by smoking.

Ffs people who don't use cannabis regularly should approach cannabis with caution... never mind vaporizers

@CarolKing smoking 4 me was 28.5 grams/OZ very 5 days?
Lately 7.5 grams a week FLOWER & 1 gram ROSIN/ WEEK.
I know guys in their 90’s smoking CANNABIS?
VAPING has FLAVOR 4 me that keeps me in the game!

When the young guns R smoking a BOWL I always grab a vaporizer.

FLAVOR is the motivation 4 my situation.

Smoking taste so horrible to me?
