It seems like it woulf eliminate the risks of smoking or vaping, if THC could simply be inhaled like ventolin HFA or whatever

    I’m far from being an expert but from what I’ve read, if you stay within the recommended temperature range it’s perfectly safe.

      Even so, it seems like regardless of how robust those findings are, heating stuff like this significantly higher temperatures than your own tissue and insides is less safe than something that could otherwise alternatively be simply aerosolized.

      Its literally being aerolized already by act of heating it in that way so i cant quite buy that its safer than something similarly aerosolized that is not altered in temperature at all, much less than in the way described

        Vaporizers have a cooling system, you’re not inhaling 180°C air. Coffee and tea are much hotter, for example. And I’m pretty sure aerosolizing natural THC would involve heating weed at some point (or not, talking out of my ass here).
