The "active ingredient" in marijuana is THC. The active ingredient in any marijuana based pill would also be THC. The only thing "dangerous" about marijuana smoke is tar and toxins which are the same as any carbon based compound which is combusted.

Now one thing they didn't talk about is the benefits of vaporized marijuana. For those not in the know a vaporizer super-heats the marijuana and "burns" off the THC while leaving the compounds containing toxins and tar unburned. This is widely known as the "healthiest" and most beneficial way to consume marijuana.

"The only thing "dangerous" about marijuana smoke is tar and toxins which are the same as any carbon based compound which is combusted."

Yes. That's one of the reasons smoked marijuana is not considered medicine. Do you know of a "carbon based compound which is combusted" which has FDA approval?

"Now one thing they didn't talk about is the benefits of vaporized marijuana."

A vaporizer would be safer, but how would this be enforced? Also, the THC content in a pill is regulated. There is no regulation for smoked marijuana. For example, how much and how often should a patient use vaporized marijuana for glaucoma? For MS?

I LOVE IT.

What's the "healthiest and most beneficial" way to smash one's face against a brick wall?

Kinda sounds like a bong.
