    Maybe one of my more controversial opinions, but these sorts of products should really be classed as drugs since they are entirely focused on producing dopamine release without any nutritional value. Like, other than legal/employment issues, you are way better off using cannabis than eating any of these things stalin-smokin

    • It depends on how you consume it. Edibles, sure, that’s definitely better for you, but smoking burns your alveoli and causes a ton of health issues just from being that close to combustion. For vaping, it depends on the vape being used, but some of them will accumulate fluid in your lungs and cause edema or pneumothorax. A lot of the health issues of smoking aren’t from the nicotine or additives, but from the combustion.
