Cannabis is finally being decriminalized in more and more places around the world. And for very good reasons! Compared to other legal drugs such as alcohol, cannabis is pretty mild and most users enjoy it without issue. But there’s a dark side for some. So let’s take an honest look at some of the latest research together.

This video did not touch on tinctures nor pills. Both forms highly able to control your dose, as you can easily measure to the mg, albeit without a rapid come on like smoking or vaping, full disclosure. Furthermore, pills can also carry a less precise come on due to other factors related to digestion. But, you can still see exactly how much you are taking.

Not to knock smoking too much, but such measurements do not seem to exist for this method. I think people generally measure in number of hits + how large of a draw they take. People often know their limit, but it's very unscientific.

Tinctures and pills also don't carry the silliness of other edibles (technically the tincture is sublingual), like gummies and cookies. People abuse regular gummy vitamins!

Inhaling smoke from burning matter is also way more harmful to the body than intake via swallowing

It's the reason why I only eat my weed. The harm from smoking, simply burning stuff into my lungs would cancel out any good effects of the weed. But maybe its because I have asthma and allergies, maybe for those that are healthier its slightly less bad.
