Vaporizing is probably the healthiest way to inhale cannabis, however it isn't cheap. The Volcano Vaporizer has been tested to remove 95% of carcinogens in cannabis smoke, meaning what you do breath is less toxic and more of the good stuff, I wouldn't know how well other Vaporizers fair but I would imagine they are all about the same.

There is some controversy about bongs, some claim the water filters out THC, some claim it doesn't, nor does it do a good job filtering out harmful carcinogens, I'm not a scientist so I wouldn't know. But the best suggestion I have heard is to use a long pipe, this way the smoke can cool down and you won't inhale as much carcinogens as a shorter pipe, but compared to a vaporizer I doubt they can compare health-wise.

Here is a link for medical co-ops in so cal, there are many more that are not listed here, but this wouldn't be a bad place to start.

I've heard Orange County is pretty bad, high prices and low quality, good luck.
Nailhead Reviewed by Nailhead on . Irvine - Best Dispensary I'm due to see my doctor tomorrow morning for my recommendation. Can anyone tell me the best dispensary in my area? I live in Irvine. Also, any rec's on best marijuana available? I have a bong, but is there a better (or safer) way to ingest it? I get indigestion if I eat it, or swallow smoke. Thank you for your time. Rating: 5
