Inhaling Medical Cannabis: Comparing Vaping vs. Smoking | Ask Dr. David

  1. Eating THC is eating THC… it is one compound that will metabolize in the liver. Vaping will see some form of transformation but SMOKING cannabis which has hundreds of compounds present, turns the hundreds of compounds into THOUSANDS of compounds that you consume. There is almost no possible way to compare these two methods of ingestion from a pharmacology stand point.

    Even eating a ratio product containg say 1-5 cannabinoids is not comparable to smoking and inhaling thousands of compounds. Check out the work Real Isolates and Smokenol does on this subject. Studying how molecules of interest change from the temperatures used to smoke. Pyrloysis of organic molecules is a fascinating subject.

    I hope this comment reaches even one single person. There is nothing similar about inhaling thousands of compounds in smoke full stop!

    Also THC readily transforms into CBN and other derivatives on contact with the heat from smoking. Fun fact- you are not consuming just THC when you smoke even you dabbed 99% pure THC, and in fact in some cases you are consuming equal or more amount of CBN. Vaping will see far less transformation but still a notable amount. Awesome subject.

  2. I prefer smoking but since covid my sinuses hate too much smoking I'll start drowning in mucus but its very runny, sticky type and clear almost like distillate actually. So I do oral and supplement vaping as well.

  3. But cannabis flower contains 100's of chemicals, not just THC/CBD, surely the synergy between all the chemicals is important and not just isolating one chemical, I never understand why the medical industry work this way?

  4. I have never really enjoyed smoking and switched to vaping when I got my prescription approved. It definitely feels less harsh on the throat, but how sticky the vape gets makes me wonder what its like inside my lungs. Probably still better than the combustion of smoking though I guess

  5. I vape and smoke cannabis from my experience dry herb vaping is the best although I smoke everyday I use premium gum and organic hemp gum rolling papers. I use cannabis for back pain and dry herb vaping is better it's more potent but I enjoy my joints.

  6. I was given a Silver Surfer brand of dry flower vaporizer, like on demand , not the volcano bs, and I quit smoking everything. I quit smoking tobacco, herb, and just began vaporizing good herbs, at low temperature… It was pure bliss. Lately I have been challenged to get the same device, after my last one failed. So… I just smoke, and it sucks…,

  7. I have my consultation in a few days, i suffer from ptsd and agoraphobia, im bricking it! 😢 Due to feeling overwhelmed at finally being honest, feels sereal, im 58 and have used on and off for over 30 years. Now its ok on prescription 😮 iv got a lot of emotions to deal with but its all good 🎉 thank you for your video 🙏

  8. I got a respiratory infection and reflux from vaping. I have asthma so smoking helps clear the air. If I smoke in the morning I’m good all day to breathe I cough up all the crap and then I’m good to go.

  9. As a medical cannabis extraction technician, while I strongly agree that the live rosin vape cartridges are the best for effectively dosing the concentrates correctly, live rosin "dabbing" through a quartz glass heating element and using water filtration to further reduce the temperature of the vaporized product. I also argue that Live Resin extracts, when extracted and purged correctly, offer a more significant entourage effect due to better preservation of cannabinoids and terpenes that are destroyed at lower temperatures.

  10. Perhaps you should mention the risks of psychosis like my niece at age 25 got. Hospitalized twice in a psych ward and has taken year to get anywhere back to normal. Dropped out of Paramedics with a high average. Paranoia is REAL and PSYCHOSIS is WORSE.

  11. Im an active daylly smoker!!!I started vaping dry herbs 2 days ago!!!First its kindda odd and weird,feels like Im inhalling directly from the bag without lightning up!!!It tastes great though!But I dont think its as much satisfatory as when thers combustion!Obviously this can vary according the vapeur used,how grinded is the herb,temp…
