If all of the United States was a level “playing field” when it comes to legalized cannabis, the recommendations about using the plant during this COVID-19 pandemic would be reasonable. But as I point out in my blog this week that’s not the case:

So it’s important for people to continue their cannabis medicine to take care of themselves, and at the same time, make good decisions of how to take cannabis during this COVID-19 event.
This is of particular interest for me as a teacher of emotional release and trauma recovery because the judicious use of cannabis can be a potent ally in this work as so many of you recognize. And it’s my area of interest and research.
The biggest question is whether it’s safe to continue smoking or vaping cannabis if that’s what you’ve been using as your delivery system. People like to inhale cannabis because of its rapid onset and consistent and reliable dosing.
Yet the continued smoking or vaping of cannabis is being discouraged by health professionals – even those who specialize in cannabinoid science or cannabinoid medicine – as it’s called.
The advice is that anyone who is smoking or vaping cannabis should switch to edibles, tinctures, capsules, drinkables.
That’s easy if you’re in a cannabis legal state where those options are available to you. If you’re not in one of those states, then those processed products are NOT going to be available to you, right?
Nothing of what I’m saying should be taken as medical advice or encouragement to consume cannabis, especially where it’s illegal. In fact, for this and everything else in your world, always check in with YOURSELF before acting based on anything you read, hear or watch.
So where do you stand on all this? What kind of precautions are you taking? Drop down to the comments section and let me know. And if you’re viewing this on Youtube, head over to my website and share your thoughts there.

Hello Becca
Hello Patrick, what saith you?
I have folks who join us from all over the world – that have wide ranging cannabis laws (from very liberal to draconian). The easiest approach for many is using the dry herb to smoke or to vape. So when authorities weigh-in saying “do not smoke or vape” that can be very unrealistic.
Good points. Like you I recognize the huge difference between smoking and vaping dry herb. My Pax 3 makes it easier to inhale and hold way longer than burning paper. Used once/day, I don’t feel any negative effects yet, and believe me, I’m watching! Ultimately, we are each our own chemistry experiment…
Yes, it is a grand “adulting” experiment and exploration. And, as I always say, that’s why “field reports” (just like you’ve done here!) are so pivotal – in that we’re sharing our experiences so others can build on it. Thanks alway David!
Great advice. I’m vaping oil still but I’m a professional, don’t try this at home as they say. But I’m prepared to vape pure wax or dry vape as you suggest. Which I did for years before Vape oil. Dry vape is super clean fresh vapor with all the plants natural terpenes and flavonoids. One of the safest delivery methods ever conjured up. And talk about discreet if you require that. For me It’ll dry my sinuses help me breath and clear my lungs. The rest you know.
Loring, a most definitive “field report”. Thanks. Obviously you have the benefit of a wide-ranging selection in your neck of the woods:)
