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.

I mean, I can measure what I'm getting out of my dry herb vape pretty well, just weigh the input and assume about 30% loss.

I get what you're trying to say, but that still isn't exactly accurate.

If you measure the herb before and after, it'll give you the total of evaporated difference, but this difference will not reflect the actual THC/CBD consumed, you've got terpenes and other volatile compound in there as well, adding weight.

Nor does it account for losses due to condensation on the inside of the vape.

If you know how much it your herb is THC/CBD, then you estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy.

Also now that I've written this out, I realise how "Well actually..." this is; my bad.

Love the username btw, what vape do you use if you don't mind my asking?
