Clearing the Air: Cannabis Consumption and Lung Health

In this post, I'm not just taking in the hazy world of cannabis and lung health to blow smoke back at you—I'm clearing it all up for you. I’ll debunk common myths, like the idea that smoking cannabis is as harmless as a walk in the park. I'll also share safer ways to enjoy your green without turning your lungs into a chimney. Curious about vaporizing, dabbing, or other methods? I'll cough that up for you too. Plus, we'll discuss what chronic use really means and how to keep your health in check while still enjoying the good stuff. Let's clear the air together!
