I really wish there was like an asthma puffer delivery system where it is aerosolized rather than heated and burned. I dunno if thats possible but it would be amazing to simply have a puffer, like how there's inhaled versions of narcotic painkillers like fentanyl with legitimate medical indications and usage.
What you’re describing does exist. Google “THC inhaler” and you’ll see a few examples of it.
I don’t use an inhaler like that, but I do use a dry herb vaporiser. You put your ground bud into it (like packing a pipe or bong), and it heats the flower to somewhere around 170-200 degrees Celsius. Since the temp is so low, the flower doesn’t burn it at all, so no smoke or ash is produced, only vapor. It’s so much better for you than combustion, relatively speaking, that my country’s rules for medical cannabis prescriptions say that prescribed flower should never be smoked, only vaporised.
Is that or how is that distinct conceptually from vaping?
Tbh its not if you only cape pure stuff, but the extraction process, and even more so the additives companies legally can add after definitely are.
A lot takes advice from nic gaping, which is pretty much just making a chemical soup solely to making smoking quicker and simpler.
Stick to good extraction methods, and a concentrate vape instead of mixed then you should be good (CO2 instead of butane, diamonds, distillates are all good)
I don't know what you are talking about. I don't know of any legitimate inhaled drugs that aren't for treating the lungs.
Are you maybe thinking of narcan? It can treat an overdose of fentanyl.
Methoxyflurane is still widely and legally admistered as a vaporised drug. All hail the green whistle.
Don't forget amyl nitrate
It is making a comeback, but it was removed in the 90s by many countries. So I have never heard of it in my country. :)
No, I believe there's literally an aerosolized fentanyl I believe as a marketed drug. I may also be thinking of when Russia dealt with a hostage situation with aerosolized fentanyl or a more potent relative. But I was certain theres a marketed version for sick folks
Every anaesthsiologist will tell you that there a few inhaled drugs, such as sevoflurane, isoflurane and desflurane. We use them every day. They are vaporized and inhaled.
Those are not treating anything, are not meant for habitual use, and aren't available for individuals.
Sevoflurane can be used as add-on treatment for Asthma in Life-threatening cases. But I know that‘s beside the point and I agree that there is no vaporized treatment for individuals.
