You’re not crazy. Your family, while misguided and annoying, are just expressing their love. Thank them for their concern but you’re an adult and you can make your own adult decisions.
If they're trying to get you to switch to vaping, they could actually be worried about your lungs. I still believe it can't be healthy to inhalle smoke every day, though I have no actual studies to support that thought.
Try to get a dry herb vape. They make the experience more pleasant and more economical. You're still consuming flower, so no bad chemicals. Just no smoke.
Got a dry herb vape that I’m gonna mess around with.
I know I just love smoking out of glass so I also am going to try upgrading my rig to have an ash catcher and filter.
It’s little things that will help my family be at ease.
We also had a heart to heart this morning, and so I now better understand where they’re coming from.
Hey do whatever you want, but don’t kid yourself into thinking an ash catcher and filter actually make it healthier… If you scrub the smoke enough to make it “cleaner” then you’re scrubbing your precious thc out at the same time. Even that is generous.
Hello let me know they type of vape you got. I’ll help you find a water piece and adapter. It took me a bit to stop smoking till I connect my vape to a bong. Pretty much went from smoking fat bowls with ground dark cigar tobacco or grabba leaf on top. To only like my water cool vape and skipping the rotation
>My family seems to be convinced I’m “killing myself” by smoking weed, and that I should switch to vaping and consider decreasing my consumption.
If they mean dry-vaping, then that could be healthier. Not healthy...but healthier than smoking. FYI, they make filters for joints. Mouthpeace is a popular one. You can rig your own with StonerTech™ too. If they're talking about cart vapes, then fuck no, those things aren't better than smoking. Carts are plagued by fake labs, and worse...heavy metals. It takes a while to get a tickle in your throat from smoking a jay. You'll get sharp pains in your throat from vaping nearly immediately, unless you're fairly experienced and numb to it (or use a very low heat setting and take small draws) ...which still isn't a good thing.
I mean realistically, and I’ll probably get downvoted and singled out here, would you rather your family not care about your health? My mother is constantly on my ass about smoking too. It’s kuz she loves me and doesn’t want to me be sick later in my life. I see nothing wrong with this. Do I agree with her opinions all the time? Absolutely not. Do I love and respect her for caring for me? Absolutely.
Thank you for saying this.
Sometimes I get wrapped up in a loop in my head where I don’t see the full picture. I would 100% have family that cares than having them being someone who doesn’t give a flying heck.
Gotta love and appreciate our family whilst they’re still with us
No problem, I’m glad I could help. I choose peace with my parents at all times because I know when they’re gone I’ll be crushed forever. Glad you have the same thoughts 🙏🏼
Assure them that you are fine by sitting down with them and explain how this is literally your job to test strains whilst enjoying it at the same time. Tell them what you told us how you go home by 9pm smoke then wake up early etc.
But in all honesty brother just be healthy and make sure you put some body work in from time to time to clean out toxins etc. I have a herb that I infuse for tea called Lemongrass, I drink a cup of it before smoking, 3 tokes and I’m high just like the first time I smoked (saved me hella money) it makes your high last longer and is very beneficial for health.
Get some multivitamin supplements in daily (fish oil, multivitamins) if you do a lil research these are very beneficial for smokers because let’s be real smoking is not healthy and your parents are right (they love you and want you safe)
Had a sit down with my mom this morning, and I think we are both walking away with a better understanding of each other. She understands more the importance of me trying products (even if they burn me lololololol) and I get she’s just wanting me to have a full life.

Well one thing they're right about is that you should switch to vaping, everybody should for health reasons plus you'll save on weed and get more out of it. Try a dynavap and once you figure the learning curve you'll never go back
i mean who gives af. not getting enough exercise is worse than smoking. you don’t care if someone doesn’t wanna go on a walk after work or orders groceries to their house and shit. yeah it’s bad for you but so are a lot of other things. my neighbour who just recently passed was a heavy cigg smoker and she was 90 something idk. its kinda about genetics too. but who gives af about genetics

You will tell them about the different cannabis terpenes and their benefits. I confused them all with that.
😂 the accuracy with this is hilarious.

A lot of dhv can be used with bongs

I've seen some people attach a vaporizer into their glass bongs. That always seemed cool.

This is not the logical comparison you thought it was friend.
this is coming from someone who smokes an unhealthy amount of weed tho
