No one said anything about a stronger high. And what you said proves that amphetamines are a dangerous drug, prescription or not

If you’re going to actually cite a study, you should maybe link the actual abstract itself instead of some random article that regurgitates as little info as possible.

If you actually read the study itself it says that they “dabbed” the extract at over 700 degrees F, which is not how most people dab. When you put a dab into a banger at that temperature there is definitely some combustion occurring, which would result in benzene. But if you’re dabbing at temperatures that a normal human would actually do, you’re looking at temps between 450-600. The basis of the study is flawed in that it is not even emulating how people actually use these products. The lowest temperature that they tested (322°C) is slightly above the highest temperature that most people usually dab at. While these data points are very important to have and be aware of, citing this study the way you are is disingenuous to the conversation that is being had. Most things when used improperly can be dangerous, as this study shows.

All I was getting at is that you should probably annotate your edits after someone responds to it, instead of changing it and not bringing any attention to it. When I made my edit, your comment did not show up. And I never said I didn’t believe the study, it’s just not a very accurate study of how the cannabis market has shifted in the past few years since the vitamin E acetate scare. Also, dabbing shouldn’t create benzene, as there is no combustion, only vaporization

Edibles and inhalation are very different methods of cannabis consumption though. You’re not even technically consuming the same compound, and that doesn’t even take into effect the chemistry that happens inside of your body. While eating edibles is definitely healthier overall, the difference in effects and how your body processes each should definitely be taken into consideration

I don’t know the last time I saw a cartridge that had vitamin e oil in it. Most cannabis products have moved away from using fillers. Usually the only additive, which is mainly used in distillate carts, are botanically derived terpenes. And BHO does not strip cannabis extracts of their aromatic compounds, that’s blatantly false and doesn’t even make sense scientifically. It’s hard to take advice from a study like this that can’t even get established facts correct.

Edit: Nice edit above. Still not very convincing when looking at today’s cannabis market though

Oh is that what ABA stands for?

While I definitely agree with the sentiment that they would like to describe themselves that way, but on the other hand no one is forcing them to support those countries. And a sizable portion of those users and supporters seem to be unwilling to have a civil discussion regarding the issues with their “alliances” when brought up by other users.

I think calling them anti capitalism and anti racist is a bit reaching as many of them seem to support the state capitalism of Russia and the CCP. And I have yet to come across a hexbear user that has ever brought up the current genocide of the Uyghur population in China, they’d much rather point fingers at western countries for their issues instead of holding up a mirror to their own beliefs regarding “communism” in its current form in Russia and China.
