Marijuana is a drug with few studies. Have there actually been any that investigate vaporizers vs smoking?
I suppose any studies with regard to tobacco might have some relevancy, but marijuana isn't tobacco. It's a very complex plant and I wish the states that legalized it had included funding for clinical studies in their statutes.

It seems like he should be tasting using a variety of methods, so as to recommend the vector that brings out the best in each strain. And certainly he should not be smoking cigarettes! The comparison to a wine critic eating salsa is quite apt. But your point about the lack of research is a good one. Unfortunately the federal government makes it very, very hard to conduct legitimate cannabis research in this country.
