This is a pretty solarpunk situation isnt it?
Guys you don't need to extract the weed to vape it. You can just vape dry herb. The technology today is amazing. Check out /r/ballvapes and /r/vaporents
Here's an example of what's possible with today's technology. Huge cloudy clean flavorful vapor hits using nothing but flower.
I have a vaporent and it's the best. And they're very simple devices too, the highest tech part is the battery. It's basically just a smoke pipe that uses an electric heating element instead of fire and embers. The smell is very faint and doesn't linger which is great for smoking indoors and in regions where it's still not legal. And it's just so damn handy.
Yeah I’ve got one with a removable battery too! Figure the vape will keep working for a long time and I’ll just have to get new batteries.
I have a Pax 2 vaporiser device. It's a little larger than a lighter works great on dry herb.
If you have a solar powered rosin press?
Dry herb vapourizers exist. They're just apparently not as well known as 510 carts.
Though I do believe dry herb vapourizers came first.
magic flight
or could just smoke it and save a few steps
Look up ball vapes. It's insane what you can do with just regular dry herb these days.
Smoking bad for you and others near you, a dyna with a solar induction or og og Greek method and magnifying glass. Outside of that small solar battery charger with a self sustainable garden that just happens to include a couple strains of medication sounds definitely solarpunk to me (in a side quest in my ttrpg if my players want to lol)
Smoking up to a joint per day doesn't seem to decrease lung function. . .

It does say there is a leveling and reversal of that as you increase consumption, I'd be equally interested to see the same study run with carts/dabs, dry herb vapes, and combustion put head to head but gotta wait for the feddy Bois to get their act together
Would smoking weed produce more CO2 than extracting the oils and vaporizing? I wouldn't think so, but I could be wrong. Don't you still have to decarb the oils?
you have to decarb to make oil, which can also be a rather smelly and obnoxious process if you live near folks particularly if they don't like the smell or if they are allergic
Right so I guess the thing you extract is more like resin/dab
Solar punk? No. That's just called common sense.
Have you ever lit a pipe with a magnifying glass? Its 10/10, you’re pretty much vaping it
"Solar rips" is what my & my friends called them as young delinquents. You're also not breathing any of the garbage that's in a Bic lighter. Love it!
breathing in any kind of smoke at all is kind of bad for you.
Not really a weed smoker but aren't edibles just straight up significantly better for your health? not to mention easier.
Nobody said smoking was good for you bro
i love vaping flower, it's completely fixed my relationship with weed. I used to rip a bong and i would always get couch locked eternally but vaping bud hits different. it's a little less potent and whatever it is that's being left behind i do not miss.
Not really. Consumption doesn't make you more solarpunk than just not smoking at all.
