Cannabis is finally being decriminalized in more and more places around the world. And for very good reasons! Compared to other legal drugs such as alcohol, cannabis is pretty mild and most users enjoy it without issue. But there’s a dark side for some. So let’s take an honest look at some of the latest research together.

    I agree that oil capsules are the way to go for dosing precision and general healthiness. I like oil caps the most out of all edibles simply because you can lock in a approximate amount needed to get you medicated. Not requiring further cooking or excess calories is a bonus.

    To answer your question abiut dosing vapor, I can give some insight as a vaping nerd.

    Just to be clear I mean dry herb vaping where the raw cannabis flower is baked at a temperature hot enough to vaporize the plant oil with all the good cannabinoids but not hot enough to burn or combust the flower. This method is much cleaner than combustion smoking while avoiding the possible synthetic additives in cartridge vapes.

    When it comes to vaping theres two paths users tend to head down. One common path is thst you just quit combustion smoking and want to emulate the experience of smoking as closely as possible. Big milky vapor clouds filling your regular sized bongs and exiting your lungs in a huge rip. This path leads towards the natural conclusion of expensive ball vapes and burning through zips a week.

    More experienced vapor heads realize another path. You don’t actually need all that much vapor to get baked, especially with good flower. So you go for maximizing your herb efficency by trying to get every bit of vapor out of a very small amount of herb These are the crowds that actually take dosing seriously even using measuring spoons and stuff. This path is most commonly followed by half bowl dynavap users, but there are many microdosing options.

    Here are three different bowl sized.

    I can’t tell you exact numbers but spitballing the biggest bowl probably holds .15-.20g, the middle one holds .10g and the teeny tiny one .05gs. How these get used depends on flower quality. If I’m vaporizing top tier ganja Its easy to get medicated and I want to stretch it out with the small or middle bowl sizes. If I’m vaporizing lots of cheap mid or shake I’m going for the big bowl.
