Does anyone else notice a difference in the high from vaping as opposed to smoking? I recently broke out my Magic Flight Launch Box in the wake of a bad case of tonsillitis as to not further irritate my throat. There is definitely a difference in the high. The vaping high is much more clear headed and less paranoid. You don't have the head rush, so it seems to come on more subtly. The high is more mellow.
The only vaping I've done is with a Dab, which was not chill at all. I took one hit off a rig and felt like I was on Potent Edibles.
Yeah if you vape thc with a pen its more of a euphoric and time dilation high. When you vape the entire plant its like schizophrenia. If you need a fix without making your breath smell bad or hurting your throat, use vape pens. But plants get you higher (excluding dabs). Nicotine + thc is also a prolific combination.
The smoke contains MAOIs, vapor does not. It is a different chemical composition. More going on than cannabinoids. All smoke has MAOI properties, some plants smoked or not contain MAOIs. MAOIs increase a force to the experience and keep the ceiling high longer. They make it more difficult for enzymes to break down monoamines such as seritonin and dopamine.
