Why Vaporize THC Oil? By Dr. Lunglife
Chemical analysis has revealed that a joint made of raw marijuana contains just as much “tar” as a cigarette made of tobacco. While there is currently no evidence linking marijuana smoking to lung diseases, this finding suggests that heavy use could potentially lead to conditions such as cancer, emphysema, and bronchitis, just like tobacco smoking does. The frequency and amount of marijuana smoked are important factors to consider when it comes to lung damage. Luckily, pot smokers typically consume much less than tobacco smokers.
If you stick to high-quality marijuana, like sinsemilla, manicured buds, or fine-screen shake, and use it in moderation, you’re unlikely to experience lung damage since only small amounts are needed to achieve a high. However, if you’re growing your own in the woods, the quality may not be as good. That’s where extracting the essential oil from cannabis comes in – it concentrates mediocre-grade marijuana into a potent liquid. This hashish or THC oil also eliminates some of the unpleasant and smelly components found in raw marijuana. Plus, it takes up less space, which can be beneficial if you need to keep your marijuana use under wraps.
This article presents a method for reducing lung damage by inhaling the essential oil of cannabis after vaporizing it. Vaporization involves heating the THC oil without setting it on fire. This avoids the intense heat and chemical reactions caused by fire, which can destroy some of the THC and create potentially hazardous substances. By vaporizing the essential oil, you also avoid inhaling tar, burnt cellulose, carbon monoxide, and other combustion products into your lungs. While vaporization still produces heat, the vaporized oil is at a much lower temperature than the flame.
Method A: Aluminum Foil, Candle, and Tube
An easy way to vaporize THC oil is by placing a drop on a piece of aluminum foil, heating it over a candle, and inhaling the vapor through a tube, such as a straw or a clear plastic Bic pen. The tube is especially helpful in catching the rising air full of vapor and controlling the temperature before it enters your lungs. You can also use your tongue to cool the vapor by wetting it with saliva frequently.
Method B: High Intensity Light, Dimmer, and Tube
If you’re handy, you can make your own electrical oil vaporizer using a high-intensity light, a dimmer, and a tube. The most expensive item is the light-dimmer, which includes a power outlet. However, the materials are easy to obtain and the process is not difficult. This method allows for more precise control over the temperature of the vaporized oil before it enters your lungs.
