Dr. Matthew Hill: How Cannabis Impacts Health & the Potential Risks

Yeah, yeah, like a volcano. I've seen it. Yeah, but it doesn't create any plant combustion. And so there are studies that have been run on that that have shown that you avoid the combustion byproducts. So people don't like exhale carbon monoxide or these other things that we know can be damaging if they're vaping plant matter. that was actually somewhat approved as like a medical device.

Pre-legalization in Canada, cannabis in Canada was only under medical authorization, um, because of the reduced harm associated with vaporizing the plant matter versus smoking it.

Um, that is, I would say as a safe guideline for harm reduction, that if you're going to try and avoid, you know, there's still going to be some issues that happen with vaporization of plant matter, but it's not the same as combustion. So you avoid like some of the other issues that come out when we're talking about, um, oil-based vapor products or whatever they're in.

They're usually in some kind of oil-based solution. Who knows? I mean, we don't have the research on this. Like, we just don't know. I mean, we certainly know, like, there have been some pretty big errors of, like, the things that happen in the States.

Like, there was that problem where all those people developed kind of, I don't know, popcorn lung or that lung inflammation where several people died from vaping products, which seemed to be, like, a byproduct, I believe, of them adding, like, vitamin E acetate or something into the – Because again, everyone just assumes it's inert.

But then when it combusts through the vaporization process, it creates a massive irritant on lung tissue. And so that was just – again, in my mind, this is a problem with a lack of a federal regulatory framework because stuff like this happens. You would not see that on a federal landscape because you would have to go through testing. Like people – it's kind of the Wild West you get down here.
