Most people start using cannabis by smoking it, but the last 20 years have brought vaporizers to the medical marijuana culture. Vaporizing is much healthier than smoking, because you’re not inhaling burning plant matter, tar, benzine, or other harmful substances.
I’ve written before about the benefits of microdosing: you’re less likely to have “overdoses” (getting too high to work, study, or even stand up), less likely to cause health problems or interactions with other medications, and less likely to get negative side effects from cannabis (anxiety/paranoia/panic, generally from getting too high too fast, especially with […]
Actually, I started this article last Thursday night and the title actually said “Washington” then. But I got so excited for them being the first state to experience legalization that I hit the old vape a little too hard and couldn’t actually finish. I haven’t written anything in a few weeks, mostly because I’ve been […]
So now that I’ve played around with my homemade bong for awhile, I’ve already grown tired of getting way too high and coughing on smoke and thought about how I could combine the benefits of a bong (cooler smoke and easier on the throat and lungs) with the benefits of a vaporizer (no smoke, just vapor…and […]
The first part of this article gave a bit of history of bongs and talked about how many people end up with cheap glass but still pay the expensive price. We’re going to make our own bong using good quality materials, and save money too! The way “real” bongs work is that they have a […]
(Part One of a four-part article) Regular readers of this site know that I never actually smoke my medical marijuana. Instead, I prefer vaporizers, like my ever-present little MFLB (Magic-Flight Launch Box), because smoke tends to have extra chemicals you don’t want, and if you need your medicine daily like most patients, all that smoke […]
For literally years now, I’ve been telling people all about the wonderful little Magic Flight Launch Box (MFLB) vaporizer and how it lets you inhale medical marijuana almost anywhere discreetly and healthfully. Well, now you can see exactly what happens inside one while in operation with actual cannabis. And this is pretty fascinating stuff, whether you […]
The cool new site Weedist.com got my attention by publishing this amazingly detailed chart that lists not only the cannabinoids in our favorite plant, but also their boiling temperatures in both Celsius and Fahrenheit, effects and cautions, and even terpenes and toxins for good measure. Best of all, you can click the top of any […]
AVB (Already Vaped Bud, a.k.a. ABV (Already Been Vaped) and even “Vape Poo” by some people) is the shorthand term for cannabis that’s already been used in a vaporizer. You’ve already helped your medical condition, or gotten high with it, by using it the first time. And as they say on TV…but wait, there’s more! AVB will […]
Stoned agin! [8.3] I’ve mentioned that starting to use a new strain means you’re ingesting different cannabinoids at different levels. That also activates different receptors in your brain, generally ones you’re not used to. That means you have no tolerance buildup in those receptors. I think you see where I’m going with this. Just two […]
In my travels across the planet and the Internet, I’ve run across any number of people who smoke marijuana regularly and get high, but are using cannabis for what are essential medical reasons. In other words: social anxiety, panic attacks, insomnia, calming, chronic pain, depression, etc. If you’re one of these people, I believe you […]
