Smoking marijuana is a bad idea. Vaporizing it using a marijuana vaporizer, however, is a smarter idea that can get you high quicker and easier and can get you the medical benefits you want with fewer side effects.

While there are many people who already understand and prefer vaping, it might be time for more to learn about it. In some circles, vaporizing is a common and proven way of getting marijuana into your body without taking in all the other substances in cannabis smoke as well. You see, vaporizing gets you all the psychoactive and medical benefits with none of the unfortunate effects that happen when smoke is created.

Devices called marijuana vaporizers are designed especially for the purpose of allowing active cannabinoids to be released without releasing certain harmful things that naturally exist in marijuana flowers. While these elements are invisible, that doesn’t mean they can’t be harmful if inhaled.

A cannibus vaporizer works very simply: it heats the material to just the right temperaure to release the cannabinoids and their psychoactive and medical benefits without reaching the point where smoke can be produced. That means the temperature reaches about 375 degrees F or so — and no tar or carcinogenic gases are ever released, eliminating many negative side effects.

In addition to reducing potential long-term health effects, there’s no irritation to the lungs, throat or mouth when using a vaporizer. Interestingly, water pipes — which seem like similar devices — provide no such benefit in long-term or short-term side effect reduction.

Take note, also, of the difference in the quality of vapor versus smoke. Vapor contains perhaps 95 percent cannabinoids — the things that provide the health and psychoactive benefits.

Smoke, on the other hand, is perhaps 88 percent “other” things — that is, things besides cannabinoids that don’t provide any benefit and could cause you problems.

So which sounds better to you: smoking or vaporizing?
