If CBD doesn’t get you high, why would you want to vape it? Smoking (or inhalation) is, perhaps, the most traditional method for experiencing cannabis and hemp.
The Oracle of Delphi (circa 8th Century B.C.) is said to have inhaled vapors of herbal essences, to induce prophesies from the gods. Of course, the mystic oracle was most likely indulging in THC, the psychoactive cannabinoid found in cannabis, which is only one of more than 100 cannabinoids found in hemp and cannabis.
Now, modern extraction and vaping technology makes it possible to experience other cannabis compounds in concentrate form–and CBD is officially trending.
The difference between vaping and smoking is simply that one method of inhalation takes in vapor, which contains minimal amounts of combustion residue, while traditional smoking results in inhaled byproducts for the smoker (though cannabis and cannabis extracts do not contain additives and chemicals typically present in tobacco products). Both methods take advantage of the lungs as a speedy delivery system of compounds to the bloodstream, which provides quicker effects and benefits.
For smokers, especially smokers that are trying to quit or decrease tobacco use, CBD may offer an option for easing off cigarettes, while bringing CBD into their lifestyle. Though there are few medical studies available in the U.S. on CBD or cannabis derivatives, a recent U.K. study showed that CBD oil taken orally lessened the response for cigarettes in smokers.
