Some super weird cartridge takes here. I'm guessing it is very regional, but where I live a 1.2g cartridge of Alien OG is ~$50 Canadian. (edit: DERP that's before tax, it's ~$61CDN) One of those puppies lasts me for ages. I actually had bronchiolitis obliterans (aka popcorn lung) as a result of chronic rejection of my transplanted lungs and I know a few other people who have it and keep it under control through different treatments (while being monitored by a team of professionals of course). It is kind of like a diagnosis of exclusion because they don't really know why it happens, and it isn't an ultra-rare thing in the field of transplant medicine. When you think of how many millions of cartridges people are sucking down and how few cases there have actually been, I find it hard to take the condition seriously as a concern. I think we only call it popcorn lung because *one* absolute psycho ate so much microwave popcorn that they killed themselves from it. My own weed story: having Cystic Fibrosis, cannabis has a lot of beneficial effects. People with CF have chronic pain issues (usually digestive/pancreatitis), anxiety/depression, lack of appetite, chronic nausea and weight loss among other things. We have such a hard time gaining weight that there is often surgical intervention in the form of a g-tube or jg-tube to force liquid calories into the body. Eventually the doctors prescribed me a synthetic form of weed called Nabilone and had me taking that twice daily for a decade and it genuinely helped with multiple issues. However, taking Nabilone is like eating weed and could get me a bit *too* high for long stretches of time, and when it comes to symptom management you would rather have a bit too much than too little and be left hanging and waiting for a top-up dose to take effect; Nabilone isn't an agile enough form of weed for situations like that. For people with chronic illnesses, vape pens are a bit of a life saver because they are quick and effective top-ups of symptom management and it is really really difficult to gently caress yourself up with them. Anything is bad in large enough quantities but as far as I can tell (and I check fairly often) people almost never get popcorn lung from vaping. With proper regulation, I don't see that changing. Also, I have never heard of anyone's lungs hurting from vape cartridges, but I don't know anyone who is addicted enough to vaping that that would ever be an issue. With nicotine vapes I could see that happening, but not so much with weed. I'm acutely aware of my lungs and I know if they ever hurt from vaping I would stop immediately  TL/DR:
