Agree. And even vaporizing the plant would have all sorts of chemicals beyond THC and CBD. A better study would test synthetic THC and CBD, either oral or vapor

- cmac2992 10y agoLuckily it's fairly easy to study the difference in chemical output between the different ingestion methods. Vaping vs Smoking is quite different. >The new study used a gas chromatograph mass spectrometer (GCMS) to examine the gas components of the vapor. The analysis showed that the Volcano® vapor was remarkably clean, consisting 95% of THC with traces of cannabinol (CBN), another cannabinoid. The remaining 5% consisted of small amounts of three other components: one suspected cannabinoid relative, one suspected PAH, and caryophyllene, a fragrant oil in cannabis and other plants. In contrast over 111 different components appeared in the gas of the combusted smoke, including a half dozen known PAHs. Non-cannabinoids accounted for as much as 88% of the total gas content of the smoke.
- AstralStorm 10y agoYes, smoke is bad. Cannot control the compounds that form in such an uncontrolled high energy environment. Vaporizer on the other hand has clean inputs.
