If you're always packing phat bowls, rolling blunts, hitting bongs, it's gonna turn you into the laziest version of yourself. Get away from the stereotypical weed culture; that shit's for kids.
Go on a tolerance break (at least a week, maybe a month if you're a heavy user), and when you come back, don't go full throttle. Microdose. It means taking one or a couple of small hits and waiting 4-6 hours, maybe longer. Stick to this regimen like a prescription. For what it's worth, I haven't had a break in almost 3 years and I never feel saturated by it.
I also feel that smoking flower (and sometimes even vaping flower) can make me feel groggy and tired. Concentrates (live rosin, badders, other waxes) hit cleaner, taste so much better, and don't stop me from whatever project I've got lined up. Stay the fuck away from oil cart pens, because propylene glycol shouldn't be inhaled and a lot of the oils/carts are made poorly. Pick sativa-dominant strains if you want to feel more active, both physically and mentally.
Someone fell for the anti-vaping propaganda...
PG is not dangerous, vitamin-e acetate is.
Black market THC cartridge makers were adding it to improve consistency, causing lung issues.
I had a bad reaction to it, even from legit carts. Rash, fever, my doctor thought it might be PEG allergy though it's rare. I just avoid it.
propylene glycol or pg is the same vapor base used in medical inhalers, fog machines, and regular vapes. It's not harmful. The bad standards of carts way back when caused other chemicals to be introduced as well as black market carts using similar packaging bought of Amazon and super bad refinement processes caused lung issues. That's why you only want to get carts from a reputable dispo now a days.
It's possible, but I've had bad reactions from legit carts too. It's the only delivery system that gave me a rash.
