When it comes to inhaling cannabis, consumers are spoiled for choice. The abundance of ways to inhale weed comes with considerations and risks, however. For the health-conscious, safety leads the list of concerns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inhaling marijuana is often associated with issues such as lung inflammation, toxin exposure, and the development of chronic respiratory illnesses. If smoking or vaping is your jam, it's essential to be aware of the respective risks and take precautions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here's a breakdown of the health risks associated with joints and pre-rolls, blunts, bongs, pipes, dabs, and vapes, along with helpful facts to support your safe cannabis consumption<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tJoints and pre-rolls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A joint<\/a> contains cannabis flower that has been rolled up in a thin sheet of smokable paper. The paper is usually made from hemp, rice, or wood pulp. A pre-roll<\/a> is a joint that's ready to smoke because it was already rolled by a cannabis vendor, dispensary, or brand.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
