Not familiar with any studies of acetaldehyde and cannabis... Have any more info, Dr Jinx ?

 

My guess, Vaping is safer ! Better ! more economical ...

My guess is vaping would at the least have less.

Hi Solabeirtan !!!!

 

It appears to be there.

Here is what I found in ONE study:

 

"The Blue Meanie produced ammonia (NH3) at a mean of 205 ppm from street cannabis, compared with 4 ppm from NIDA cannabis; methanol at 212 ppm for street cannabis, compared to 73.8 for NIDA cannabis; acetaldehyde at 24.5 ppm for street cannabis, compared with 36.8 from NIDA cannabis. The Volcano® produced ammonia at 60 ppm for street cannabis and 4.3 ppm for NIDA cannabis; methanol at 4.6 ppm for street cannabis and 13.8 ppm for NIDA cannabis.......".

I hope you are right re the vaping...but I want to find a study which actually reports that.
