So I need some realtalk by Lemmie's resident stoners and possibly medical professionals on the benefits and risks/harms of vaping cannabis refill things on the respiratory system (using a rechargeable vape pen/battery thingy at the lowest heat setting).

Give it to me straight docs, whats up and how long do I have to live if I use it infrequently but potentially daily in small amounts?

Inhalants in general are not good for you. Vaping introduces water, smoking introduces ash/smoke. There are no benefits to vaping or smoking. Unless you are being prescribed it by a doctor. I mean drugs are not good for you. But if you are going to, your body can usually deal with it well with moderation. Edibles are better than inhalants.

I really wish there was like an asthma puffer delivery system where it is aerosolized rather than heated and burned. I dunno if thats possible but it would be amazing to simply have a puffer, like how there's inhaled versions of narcotic painkillers like fentanyl with legitimate medical indications and usage.

I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know of any legitimate inhaled drugs that aren't for treating the lungs.

Are you maybe thinking of narcan? It can treat an overdose of fentanyl.

Methoxyflurane is still widely and legally admistered as a vaporised drug. All hail the green whistle.

It is making a comeback, but it was removed in the 90s by many countries. So I have never heard of it in my country. :)
