Vaping a cannabis concentrate is generally considered to be a better option than smoking flower for a few reasons.
Firstly, vaping produces less smoke and less odour than smoking, which can be beneficial for those who want to be discreet about their cannabis use.
Secondly, vaping can be a more efficient way to consume cannabis, as it allows for more precise dosing and may require less product to achieve the desired effects.
Finally, vaping can be easier on the lungs than smoking, as it doesn’t involve inhaling smoke and the potentially harmful byproducts of combustion. This may make it a better option for those with respiratory issues.
However, it’s important to note that vaping does come with its own set of potential health risks, particularly if the vape cartridges contain additives or other contaminants. As with any form of cannabis consumption, it’s important to choose high-quality products and use them responsibly.
The health benefits of CBD, THC, and terpenes mentioned are based on general research and knowledge in the field, rather than any specific studies. While there is ongoing research on the therapeutic potential of these compounds, the specific effects and benefits may vary depending on the individual, the condition being treated, and the specific product being used.
That said here are some references to general research on the health benefits of CBD, THC, and terpenes:
CBD: A comprehensive review of CBD’s potential therapeutic effects, including its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anxiolytic properties, can be found in this 2018 review published in the journal Frontiers in Neurology: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6066583/
THC: A 2018 review published in the journal Current Neuropharmacology provides an overview of the potential therapeutic effects of THC, including its ability to reduce pain, inflammation, and nausea, as well as its potential use in treating neurodegenerative disorders: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6306710/
Terpenes: A 2013 review published in the journal Planta Medica discusses the potential therapeutic effects of several terpenes found in cannabis, including anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and anxiolytic properties: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3165946/
Please note that these studies are not specific to the combination of THC and CBD distillates with terpenes, but rather provide general information on the potential therapeutic effects of these compounds
