Vaping THC doesn’t always make your breath stink in the same way tobacco and grass do, so they don’t have to be quite as sneaky. It may not even have a scent at all, so kids can do it behind their parents’ backs at home and their teachers’ backs in school.

Dabbing isn’t the only way high-potency marijuana is delivered. And its levels of THC aren’t regulated or restricted. Dabbing carries a lot more risk for mental illness and addiction than smoking. Many advocates, usually in states like Colorado and Nevada where recreational marijuana use is legal, defend dabbing as no worse than smoking pot. Dabs are typically heated on a hot surface with the vapors inhaled through a dab rig or dab pen.ĭabs are usually called by their consistency, such as shatter, wax, budder, crumble, live resin, or pull ’n snap ( Figure 1).

Johnny got his own medical marijuana card at 18 years old from an unknown doctor, and he had no medical or mental conditions-he just wanted to get high with his friends.
