I think there's a strong temperature profile dependence. I've only had experience with dry herb, but some of the same caveats ought to apply to rosin or shatter.
"full extraction" vapes will give you the same full body-lock sleepy vibes that one gets from smoking. They run hot enough to get the CBD fully vaporized, and i believe there's some interplay between the various THC forms and CBD that matter. Butane vapes seem to excel here, if face-melting is what you're looking for.
If you run at a lower temperature, you shift the THC/CBD balance a little, and the couch-lock lessens. (I believe THC alone is a mild stimulant) Anything below about 390F is very head-high focused, so music sounds great but I can still walk around and do stuff instead of stare at a wall.
- jerkstate 9y agoI have heard that temperature and time converts THC to CBN, a different cannabinoid that is more "sleepy," and that is one reason why baked edibles are usually more soporific.
- hprotagonist 9y agothat’s in line with my understanding too. hopefully the chemistry clears up in the next few years; it’s interesting stuff.
- goldenkey 9y agoMost likely its just certain turpines. Carotines, limonenes, etc
