As the laws are changing, Medical Marijuana Dispensaries are opening, and tens of thousands of people are receiving their Medical Marijuana Cards, marijuana is becoming more accepted by the general public. But, many people are concerned about their health and want a safer alternative to smoking joints, pipes, or water-pipes. This doesn't mean people necessarily want to eat Medical Marijuana Edibles, but a new way to smoke without coughing and filling their lungs with harsh toxins.

As doctors and marijuana dispensaries are educating their patients, the most common question is becoming, "what's the safest and healthiest way to smoke?" Doctors and dispensaries are all telling people that vaporizers are the best way to consume Medical Marijuana. Although, people are learning that vaporizing your product is the healthiest and safest way to smoke, people are unclear as to why this is. So, let's go over what a vaporizers job is and why they are so highly recommended:

When you smoke a joint, out of a pipe, or a water-pipe, you burn your Medical Marijuana with a 500 degree flame. At that temperature, the oils in your Medical Marijuana releases toxins, tar, and carcinogens. Also, when smoking, the number one harm for your lungs is the HEAT. The toxins, tar, and carcinogens are still dangerous, but not as dangerous as the heat. The purpose of a vaporizer is that it's a heating element that heats up your Medical Marijuana. Your vaporizer should heat up your Medical Marijuana between 266-375 degrees. The optimal temperature when using a vaporizer is 300 degrees, however, most people keep the temperature between 288-312 degrees. At this temperature, the oils in your Medical Marijuana will not release toxins, tars, or carcinogens, and your lungs will not be damaged from the heat. Also, when you smoke out of a joint, pipe, or water-pipe, you only consume 56% of THC where with a vaporizer, you consume 96% of THC.

Furthermore, vaporizers have other advantages that aren't completely health related. For example, when you smoke out of a vaporizer, the vaporizers are practically odorless and tasteless. Also, you don't cough nearly as much, if at all. Last but not least, vaporizers are used for pain management. The high that you get from a vaporizer is a completely different high than when you smoke a joint, out of a pipe, or a water-pipe. You will feel more of a body high and you will notice that your pain is gone. Don't be fooled though; when you start using a vaporizer, you won't feel like anything is happening except that your pain is gone until you stand up or move around. It is highly recommended that you smoke small amounts at a time, especially since you are consuming so much more THC than normal.

Finally, some other advantages of smoking out of a vaporizer is that you don't completely "cook" your bowl. This means you can collect and save your bowl after it's finished - when you save up a fair amount, you can then cook with your product as there is still some THC contents in your left over bowl. You can make butters, tinctures, baking goods, and so one and so forth. Some people will also pack a bowl and smoke the rest of the product after vaporizing to get the head-high they are used too.

All in all, vaporizers are healthier than traditional smoking, safer than traditional smoking, helps you consume less Medical Marijuana, and is great for pain management. If you haven't tried or purchased a vaporizer, I highly recommend doing so. You can stop down at High Fashion Glass, located at 42 S.
