Basically, I’m pretty wary of the adverse effects of drugs and becoming dependent on them. I’ve never done any, including drinking etc. But I’m curious about edibles, since it seems like there’s barely any downsides, besides the risk of the edible itself being too potent(?).
Yes, to an extent, primarily due to the temperature of what you’re inhaling and not so much the contents of the vapor. With a vape you can generally control the temperature to control what compounds will be in the vapor you’re inhaling (THC has a lower vapor point than CBD, other cannabinoids and terpenes will come in at other temps) and you’ll pretty much just be getting the stuff that gets you high (compared to smoking, where you’re also getting the smoke from the burnt plant matter).
Risk-wise, I’d put it somewhere between “stir frying on a gas stove” and “sitting at a campfire” in terms of how bad it is for your lungs.
