Well, as far as cancer goes, you've got nothing to worry about, THC kills cancerous cells and controls division.

Since i stopped smoking tobacco and started smoking pure weed my lungs have been getting better and better.

looked into vaporizers a bit just now and they seem to be the answer to my problem.

"Though vaporizers show great variations in performance, such studies have always found vaporization superior to smoking, and high-end vaporizers used with High Grade Hybrid Cannabis strains containing elevated levels of THC (the medicinal and psychoactive ingredient in cannabis) have been found to entirely eliminate inhalation of undesired compounds in a manner consistent enough for clinical trials. In comparison to cannabis use methods such as eating, vaporization offers the advantages of inhaling THC: rapid onset, direct delivery into the bloodstream, and the possibility to gradually increase delivery until the desired level is reached, in this manner enabling more effective self-dosage."

They seem to be a bit pricey though but seem to be worth the cost. Does anyone here have one or experience using one? If so how would you rate them compared to regular smoking.

Get the vaporizer! I have toked for 40 years (no tobacco) and my lungs were a mess! 2 weeks after getting a little Vapor Bors, my lungs were clear! The VB was worth every penny!- Granny:hippy:

I'm going to get a vape soon - my lungs are fine, but I'm getting back into running in about a month and I don't want smoking to be holding me back.

And depending on how much you smoke, your tolerance will take between a few days and a month to get back down to noob level. Personally, I'm going to stick with a bowl a day or less. I went chronic for about two weeks, and the highs definitely go downhill to the point where it doesn't feel special anymore. Besides, maintaining a low tolerance is awesome - I love being able to get high off a single bowl. Save it for after work so that you have something to look forward to. :jointsmile:

It's been a week of abstinence now, about damn time to get high again. :bonghit:

While we're on the subject - is a vape high kind of like a kief/hash high? Because I had a decent-sized kief hit the other day and it was unbelieveably nice.
