Back Side Buds examine the latest health concerns over vaping and discuss the impact they may have on THC consumption.

Toronto, October 20, 2019  - Back Side Buds examine recent health concerns connected to vaping and analyse how this might affect the consumption of THC. 

Vaping offers a more convenient alternative to smoking and many believed it was also a healthier option.  However, over the course of 2019 there have been a number of cases of serious illnesses and even fatalities, which have put the safety of vaping under the spotlight.  Back Side Buds examines whether it is healthy to vape THC and offers practical steps to ensure consumers vape THC as safely as possible.  

In recent years there has been a clear trend for cannabis users to switch from inhaling smoke to inhaling vapor.  There are a number of reasons for this, but there is a clear perception that vaping helps users avoid many of the negative health impacts of smoking.  A survey in 2016 showed 61% of vape users believed vaping was healthier than smoking. Medical studies appear to support this view, with the consensus being that the risk from vaping of serious damaging effects was low.  

However, 2019 has seen outbreaks of serious lung illnesses which many are linking to vaping.  Cases have been reported across 49 US states and a number of fatalities have occurred. Investigations by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention and FDA into the exact cause of these illnesses are ongoing.

Did those who have fallen ill vape nicotine, or THC or both?  Were the vape pens they used bought on the streets or from reputable vendors?  What is the role played by chemicals added to some vape solutions?  

Back Side Buds discusses answers to these questions and, most of all, addresses the issue of how to ensure you are consuming THC safely as possible. You can purchase safe vape pen products at Back Side Buds.
