Are there potential lung issues with vaping that much? I.e. if you're going to do it daily, why not edibles? (If you're in a state that allows that.) Somewhat related -- I used to drink a ton, and though I don't think I was an alcoholic, drinking was part of my life and was terrible for my mood and my weight. I'd get very drunk 2-3 times a week, and the other days I'd drink 3-4 IPAs after work, or get a six pack of really strong beer on the way home from work. Lots of drinking alone. One day I saw a coworker in the checkout line at a store after work, and all I was buying was a bottle of wine. I felt really ashamed, which is a huge red flag. Gave it up "for a month," which turned into two months, and now 6.5 years without any. I do vape/edibles/mints, but it has nowhere _near_ the allure that alcohol had, and I'll go 6 months without it, then a few days in a row, then another irregular pause, etc. Still have dreams that I'm in some bar drinking, and in the dream I'll think, "I just drink one or two, then stop." It's so relieving waking up!

I can only imagine there are potential lung issues. I am also worried about hot vapors hitting the back of my throat, so one thing I have adapted is that I never turn up the temp of the vape to get the last few hits out. That helps. Edibles would be better from a health perspective, but they provide a very different effect to vaping. I do have some edible tincture which I mostly only ever have when I'm very sick and playing video games all day. But I vape a pure sativa for it's feelings of wakefulness, and it is hard to find pure sativa edibles. They do exist though, and I think some day I may switch to them. But they take much longer to take effect and they last much longer. I think they also have different psychoactive effects, but that may be down to the different strains used in the edibles I have found. I've been there with the drinking. Good on you for going 6.5 years! In my original story I left out some details. Marijuana helped me break my nightly binge drinking habit but I continued to drink recreationally for some years. However currently it has been 10 months since I have had any alcohol and I feel great. No interest in starting back up. The plan was to go at least a year but even when the pandemic ends and parties start up again (end of this year maybe) I might just continue to abstain. Alcohol has not been good for me. I am very happy to be away from it.

  You can make your own sativa edibles if you can get sativa flower or hash. Honestly, its not that complicated and using full spectrum hash makes dosing simple.
