Smoking vs Vaping vs Edibles vs Tinctures

Cannabis can be used in different ways, and each method can affect the body differently. Smoking and vaping usually work faster because cannabinoids are inhaled into the lungs. Edibles can take much longer to start working, but their effects may last longer. Tinctures are liquid extracts that are usually taken under the tongue and may work faster than edibles.

Each method also has different risks and effects. Smoking involves combustion, while vaping can still expose the lungs to harmful substances. Edibles can be easier to take too much of because the effects are delayed. The best option depends on the person, product, dose, and reason for use.
 
FWIW, used to smoke joints all the time but started to get a little "wheezy". Switched over to this (uses replaceable filters). If you only take a hit now and then, this worked for me. Changing/cleaning filter is kind of a PITA but...

I like the filter idea. Does it stop it from getting all gummed up?

Well, it's surprising how much resin is trapped in the filter after just one hit. Everytime I clean it Im glad it's not going into my lungs. Gotta admit I wouldn't have worried about this in my 20's and 30's but the shit catches/will catch up to you, right? You can get 2 big hits out of one loading. A lot of junk get's stuck in the barrel ahead of the filter. Don't know if the filtering interferes with any entourage effects. I've been using this for about three years. There are some others out there (Silver Stick, which I didn't like) and some newer ones I haven't tried. This is probably my next one. I like the idea of a charcoal filter and loadable pods. Don't know how much "bang" you lose with the filter though.:



Edit: Damn, I had to have that...ordered!

What has been your direct experience with vaping vs combustion?

You didn't put any risk or effects for tinctures. Maybe has alcohol?
