Keeping Everyone’s Health in Mind: Dry Herb Inhalers Better for Those Around You
For patients, there are numerous benefits to using medical cannabis for conditions ranging from insomnia and migraines, anxiety and depression and even quelling nausea associated with cancer treatments. Medical cannabis being a natural remedy is also a positive attribute versus going down a synthetic pharmaceutical route. Along this same vein, there are numerous benefits to the patient using a dry herb inhaler, which are rechargeable, over other formats for inhalation. Dry herb inhalers offer a cleaner smoke and less scratchy experience equating to less harm long term to the patient’s respiratory system. Compared to smoking a rolled medical joint, dry herb inhalers offer users a more discreet and more medical feeling to taking their medical cannabis.
But what about the people around the user?
Second hand smoke from cigarettes and tobacco have been shown to seriously and negatively affect those in the vicinity of a smoker, as numerous studies about smoking have demonstrated over the years. According to the American Lung Association, there are more than 19,000 deaths attributed to exposure to secondhand tobacco smoke in the United States every year. While cannabis smoke emitted from burning a joint does not contain the harmful elements often associated with cigarettes and tobacco, like nicotine, tar and arsenic, it can still impact both the
health of the patient, and the patient’s family, friends and co-workers.
Dry herb inhalers heat cannabis at a lower temperature than smoking, which burns the flower and the paper, enabling the release of its active compounds (cannabinoids) in vapor form, without the harmful by-products of combustion. This not only provides the patient with the healthiest possible solution to inhaling their medical cannabis, but also significantly reduces the risk of respiratory injury due to secondhand smoke exposure for others as less particles are
being exhaled into the air.
In addition to being less harmful physically to both the patient and those around them, dry herb vaporizers have the added benefit of delivering optimal levels of cannabinoids to the patient while not having an effect on third parties. Studies have shown that even staff members who help administer THC in the clinic, with exposure as close as 1 meter from the patient throughout their treatment, had no detectable levels of THC in their blood (plasma), urine and saliva. 2 Even in extreme examples of second hand smoke where a cannabis patient exhaled directly onto the passive person, the health effect of secondhand cannabis exposure was almost zero as most of the vapor containing the THC was immediately diluted upon exhale.
An optimal solution for medical cannabis consumption is one that is beneficial to the patient and doesn’t harm those around them. Dry herb inhalers are a considerate way to medicate in a more socially responsible and caring way. They don’t contaminate the air with smoke containing particles like joints, and THC exposure is very minimal to those around the patient, which allows patients to get the treatment they need with little impact on their environment.
