Vaporizers and Marijuana use

[Guest guest]

Wondering if anyone has used a vaporizer to smoke marijuana. Ive been having

recurrent

sinus infections and am considering buying a vaporizer. Any one have any

experiences with

decreased respiratory/sinus infections due to vaporizer?

Thanks

I'm not sure a vaporizer will help with your sinusitis. I use a Neti

pot regularly to keep my sinuses clear for pranayama - yogic

breathing practices. When there is a rare accumulation of mucus

overnight while sleeping, one rinse from the Neti pot in the morning

allows me to keep the sinuses clear all day. Neti is a yoga cleansing

practice that's been used for thousands of years. It's a simple

process and there are usually very clear instructions with the pots.

**i'm not a doctor, ask your doctor for his reaction to this b4 you

act on it.**

in the initial transition from smoking to vaporizing, u may aquire an

upper respiratory or sinus infection, much as one commonly does when

initially ceasing smoking completely. the same particulate matter

poisoning u serves as a dysfunctional check on the growth of

microbes...remove the toxins, and the subsequently weakened lungs are

more vulnerable ***in the short term***...over the long term, ceasing

to inhale smoke is ALWAYS a smart move.

the 'buzz' from a vaporizer is different, somewhere between the buzz

of toking vs that of eating cannabis. however, done correctly, any

given strain of cannabis will be 2-4 times stronger, toke for toke.

this is the key to vaporizing: it boils the THC and many other

cannabinoids right out of the plant without burning it and fully

releasing all that other matter into a gas. also, whereas burning

cannabis destroys most of the THC, vaporizing preserves most of it.

in short, vaporizing will be smoke-less and thus nearly harmless, FAR

less damaging to the lungs than smoking, and as each toke of any

given strain will be 2-4 times stronger, ***u will ultimately save

money and spare your lungs further damage by FULLY switching to a

vaporizer***.

HOWEVER, to gain the benefits of vaporizing you must CEASE smoking.

as with ciggarettes, longterm full usage will leave your lungs too

vulnerable to recover under even spare smoking conditions...ie,

someone smoking a pack of cigs a day for years is NOT going to get

much benefit from tapering down to 3-4 cigs a day. until the stressor

has FULLY ceased, recovery of the tissue is unlikely.

give vaporizing a chance and stay away from pipes and joints...once u

get the hang of it, u may not want to go back. if u give ur lungs

some time to recover and then commence an exercise program, then

you'll REALLY come to see the benefits, as you'll display

lung/breathing power you probably forgot that you're capable of.

I've used the Volcano and the Vapor Brothers models with good

results, most others r just glorified heating guns and/or dont work

as well.

good luck.
