Due to the carcinogenic substances produced by combustion and the demonstrated ineffectiveness for the dispersion of the active ingredients, the smoking It's among the worst methods of hiring cannabis.
A situation that becomes even worse if we mix marijuana with tobacco. A very widespread habit in Italy, so much so that tricolor rods are classified as the most harmful in the world.
A practice to be abandoned as soon as possible since, as demonstrated by one study conducted by researchers at the University of Queensland in Australia, and published in Respiratory Medicine, smoking cannabis without tobacco does not compromise lung function in young adults.
Smoking cannabis without tobacco: what the study says
A longitudinal study lasted nine years that was of interest 1173 young adults from age 21 to age 30.
The analysis evaluated through spirometry test the subjects' lung function at the beginning and end of the nine-year period, while investigating their habits via questionnaires. Particularly whether they had smoked tobacco, cannabis, both, or nothing.
At the end of the investigation, the data collected highlighted three clear and different situations:
- who smoked tobacco experienced reductions in airflow over the nine years
- same thing for those who have smoked tobacco mixed with cannabis; However, it should be noted that cannabis did not increase the reductions already found in tobacco-only smokers
- finally, those who have exclusively taken marijuana it did not reduce its airflow and did not harm lung function.

Better to solve the problem at the root. With the vaporization let's avoid both tobacco and burning, for one most advantageous session both in terms of health, economics and perceived effects.
- First of all, thanks to vaporization we avoid combustion and carcinogenic substances, thus transcending lung damage
- Despite the initial expense, with vaporization there is a economic savings in the long term since the buds, which are not burned, can be reused several times
- Unlike combustion smoke, which is toxic and has a foul taste that irritates the tongue and throat, vaporization accentuates the terpenes of cannabis, giving it a new and delicious taste
- By having control of the temperature we can enjoy all the benefits of cannabis by making the most of its active ingredients
- Finally, vaporization is discretion, as the vapor produced is almost odorless and the vaporizers resemble simple electronic cigarettes that an untrained eye will not distinguish.
