The Truth About Vaporizing Marijuana Vs Smoking It

by Martin B. · September 26, 2018

Have you ever vaped processed cannabis? It looks cool from a distance, but it may not be as easy or as affordable as you think. Vaporized cannabis have certain positive characteristics that set them apart from dried leaves, but they also have certain disadvantages. If you’re wondering what these features are then here are some of the pros and cons of vaporizing marijuana.

Pros

The first major advantage of vaping cannabis is that it offers better results than dried leaves. Not only do they offer a better high, they also have a better taste. This is because most vaporized marijuana products have been processed to produce certain effects. Of course, such features have a price, but for many aficionados, they’re worth it.

The next advantage is more practical. Vaping cannabis are processed to offer better health benefits. They are processed to maximize their medicinal health properties while reducing those components that produce bad odors and dizziness. So if you need to smoke Ganja for purely health reasons, then vaping products are better than the real thing.

Finally, vaporized products are cheaper in the long term. Once you have your rig all set up and you have a reliable supplier who may or may not offer discounts, vaping cannabis is cheaper than smoking dried leaves. Of course, this is only true after you have everything set up, which brings us to the second part of this article.

Cons

The first disadvantage behind vaporized marijuana is that it’s a little more expensive than dried leaves, at least in the short term. This is particularly true if you want to customize your vaping rig with some extra upgrades. So if you’re short on cash, then dried leaves may be the best option, at least for now.

Another disadvantage is that vaporized cannabis cannot be mixed up with other types and flavors. You get what you buy, and that’s about it. In contrast, dried leaves allow you to mix different strains, which leads to unique flavors and allows you to experiment with the taste of Ganja.

Finally, vaporized cannabis requires you to be familiar with the equipment. You will need to clean these items, maintain them and of course use them properly. This wouldn’t be a problem if you’re used to vaping equipment, but if you don’t know how to use these them then they may give you some trouble.

You can get around this problem by watching a few tutorial videos or by reading the manual, but the bottom line here is that vaping is not always easy for beginners.

Vaporized cannabis offers plenty of benefits, but only to those who are prepared to invest the time and resources to transition from dried leaves to vaping products. This transition process can be rather expensive initially, and also tricky if you’re not used to vaping products.

However, once you’ve gotten past the initial hurdle, you should have an easier (and cheaper) time enjoying ganja. Also, vaporized cannabis is available in various flavors, and some are even designed for medicinal purposes, so there are plenty of options to choose from.
