Re: Nature: Study shows vaporizer delivers marijuana 'safely and effectively'Hi all, this is my first post. I have found the discussions/links most
interesting and enlightening. On the subject of tobacco and vaporizers, the
boiling point of nicotine is 247 C (476F), much higher than THC . There has
been some research into making a nicotine vaporizer to ease the negative
effects of (other) toxins on the system. This is probably the reason that a
vaporizer is having trouble, nicotine actually burns at 95C , well below the
boiling point , and as such when smoking a cig most of the nicotine is
burned but enough gets through for the desired effect.Cigs are one thing
that I wish I had never started! As a side note , probably the best way to
stop cigs is with NRT (nicotine replacement therapy) gum lozenges patch an
so on. I was recently forced to stop my consumption of the holy sacrament ,
much to my dismay by the terrible police state that exist here in the land
of the free (sigh) ..... Very strange lucid evil weird dreams, I think
mostly related to being kept in a state of fear. Trying to keep on topic...
I was surprised to hear about the tendency to mix tobacco into a joint, this
sounds very strange and unappealing to me. I also consider myself
"hopelessly addicted" to nicotine, but the desire to quit is a rising
necessity as I need to save all my money to pay legal bills , court cost and
fines. Most americans are just trying to look out for themselves, stay quiet
and lead productive lives. This is a scary time, the corruption goes all the
way up to the top.
Thanks all
Dan
