I am looking for the answer of if the particles of smoking in cannabis could cause anxiety, and if convection or vaping cannabis takes the anxiety part of it away. (At least, cannabis induced anxiety).
What are the variables of smoking cannabis? What does smoking cannabis do? What do these molecules do outside of the role of cannabis?
In order to know the answers to these things, I need to research the studies on smoking cannabis and their effects.
There are a lot of short studies that aren't that helpful, but this study in particular
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6610518/
Estimations that up to 50% of the Δ9THC is lost in sidestream smoke, up to 30% is destroyed by pyrolysis and 10% is trapped in the butt of the joint have been reported
The potential for terpenoids to be precursors for carcinogens highlights the question of smoking technique, as smoking cannabis joints with higher levels of Δ9THC may lead to higher levels of carcinogens such as B[a]P.
The results also showed that the percentage of TPM accounted for by Δ9THC has a tendency to reach a maximum at higher potencies. This suggests that once the cannabis reaches a certain Δ9THC level, the smoker receives a consistently higher ratio of Δ9THC to TPM, whereas at lower potencies the smoker receives less Δ9THC per unit of TPM, and this raises the question of whether or not there are health benefits in smoking cannabis with a higher _C_THC.
==So, what this concludes is although it's not the same across the board, the higher the THC percentage, the higher chance you get toxins such as carcinogins, benzoapryne, and hydrocarbons. etc. And even terpenes can play a part of that, but they can also counter-act that because of their medical properties.
Okay, so now we can try to define these compounds and what they do.
