    Not a chronic weed smoker, but how does weed help? Does it fulfill the same need?

    And isn’t this just trading lung health instead (and throat health, though I imagine alcohol isn’t great for your throat either)

      It fulfills the same need of “something to mark a time of relaxation.” while being much less detrimental to your health. Low temperature vaping and edibles are as low-impact as you can get to your lungs. Additionally, even if you opt for actually “smoking” the flower, you’re only ever taking a few hits (or if you’re like me, on most nights just one!) so it’s exponentially less harmful than cigarette smoking.
