Smoking is injurious to health, we all know that. But we also know that inhaling cannabis offers the fastest and strongest effects. While according to Nevada Medical Marijuana Law vaping in public has been banned, it is still legal if you are doing it at your place. So, here are a few reasons why you need to consider shifting from smoking marijuana to vaping it.
Smell
One of the biggest benefits of choosing vaping over smoking is that it does not offer a strong, problematic smell. A lot of people find the smell of cannabis, especially during combustion, a little unsettling. Moreover, this smell makes it obvious that someone is smoking cannabis. Vaping allows you to be discreet about it and enjoy the herb without creating an issue for people around.
Also, since the smell of vaping is usually scented sweet or floral, the consumer does not have to cover it up after use. You can vape in your room without stressing about the smell.
Smoke
The smoke produced by the process of combustion has chemicals in it. And it can affect your lungs and heart. Since there is no combustion involved in vaping, it won’t offer any harmful smoke or chemicals. This is why vaping is considered comparatively safer than smoking. Several studies and scientific research have found that cannabis users experienced betterment in their health and breathing after they switched from smoking cannabis to vaping it.
Taste
Vaping tastes way better than smoking cannabis. While a lot of vape manufacturers add flavors, even the classic vape tastes better than smoking and the reason behind it is the increased level of terpenes in vaping. Terpenes, when exposed to high temperatures, get destroyed. This is what happens during the combustion process in smoking. Whereas, in vaping, the temperature is relatively lower and the terpenes do not get destroyed by the heat. That is how terpenes add a natural flavor to the smoke.
In addition to that, some of these terpenes are even known to offer a bunch of health benefits. Apparently, aroma and flavor are not the only properties they hold. So, that serves as an added benefit of vaping cannabis.
Effective
Similar to what happens to terpenes in the process of combustion, THC gets lost in the process of burning and smoking as well. It is not like one burns a joint and consumes it in one go. Well, when you take the smoke in, wait for a few seconds, exhale, and prepare yourself for the second puff, the joint continues to burn and so does THC. This is why smoking cannabis is considered less effective than vaping.
Cost Effective
A lot of you may not agree to this but vaping is actually cost effective. Instead of comparing the price of one joint or cigarette with a vape pen, maybe compare which lasts longer. Vaping is more like an investment, while smoking demands small but consistent expenditure. Moreover, since the individual is getting more benefit from vaping, that contributes to its cost effectiveness as well.
Convenient
Vaping is way more convenient than smoking. An alternative that is as discreet as one can imagine. With no residual, no classic marijuana smell, no smoke and a body that you can keep in your pocket without even giving out the slightest idea of what it is, vaping or vape pens simply cover all the negative points associated with smoking or joints.
Not to forget, vaping would not require a thousand steps before you finally get to inhale the goodness of cannabis. You don’t have to decarboxylate the bud, crush it, take a paper, and roll the herb to perfection. Vaping is going to save you considerable time and hustle there.
However, before considering self medicating with cannabis vapes, we highly recommend consulting a doctor so that you can apply for or renew your medical marijuana card that will allow you to get decent quality marijuana.
