I agree: What irony? Weed is nearly* impossible to OD on, and has, so far as we know, no carcinogenic effect.
Of course if you’re a conservative you don’t believe that, because you know that it oughta be against the law like it always was, and if it’s illegal then it’s bad, without further examination. Vaping, on the other hand, is almost completely unregulated, and what you put into the vape-devices is completely unregulated (like cigarette papers: You can put anything in them that you want). So of course, vaping, being legal, is completely safe!
* Some kids have been harmed by eating “edible form” marijuana, but I believe there have been no cases where smoking it has caused harm.
Cannabinoid receptors, located throughout the body, are part of the endocannabinoid system, which is involved in a variety of physiological processes including appetite, pain-sensation, mood, and memory. Cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1) receptors are thought to be one of the most widely expressed Gαi protein-coupled receptors in the brain.
You can also vaporize vegetative material – marijuana, “cleaner” than burning in a joint or pipe, as I do, or use edibles. Medically, getting more relief than from any potentially lethal or addictive “pharmaceutical” for multiple conditions for physical pain and psychological relief from PTSD, has been good for me, and millions of others. And no, you can’t kill yourself with marijuana, unless you choke trying to swallow a brick. BTW of over 40 prescription drugs advertised on TV, only THREE do NOT have potential lethal side effects.
I don’t like the idea of vaping the oils, as has been noted in the cases reported, it’s the oils, not even nicotine that is the problem, same for THC in pot.

.
In other words, there are more receptors in the brain for cannabis than anything else. Its almost as if the brain were built for cannabis use.

FYI. The human body had cannabinoid receptors. Not nicotine receptors. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cannabinoid_receptor

With pot there is always the danger of while you getting high your baby will drown in the bathtub (for those under 65, a classic Dragnet episode)
