Realtalk on vaping cannabis vape refill thingies (self.asklemmy)

submitted 1 year ago by cheese_greater to c/[email protected]

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?

If you have asthma don't fuck around with inhalants. I'm a paramedic and I've seen too many people lately with asthma not responding to their daily inhaler (advair,breo,etc...) plus their nebulizer at home with Albuterol and ipratropium. Last shift I had two people who were dying from asthma exacerbations at home, one I managed to reverse with what I have and she left the ER 8 hours later and the other I prevented an intubation and he still went to the ICU. There's too many irritants in the air for you to add more to yourself. Stick to edibles.

Ya, shit. Dammit. There goes $100 :( O well, my health is obv way more important. Is there a way I can infuse things with the vape without necessarily breathing it in per se...?
