Dabbing LOOKS too "addicted"

Some of my friends are very occasional, casual smokers -usually via some kind of pinch hitter or just a joint. They sit/stand around, pass the joint, jibber jabber. But when they see a dabbing rig and the torch come out, I can tell they look at it as being far too involved with the process. I try to point out some of the obvious advantages to dabbing, e.g., inhaling less particulates and so on, but they see dabbing the same way they see smoking crack. Taking the "pass it around" ritual away from them is taking some of the fun away from getting high together.

I will concede that dabbing is more of a solo type thing that I do for my own enjoyment, nowadays. I don't even try to bring it up, anymore, in social settings. I just stand and pass around the joint....nothing wrong with that. I can even kinda understand that dabbing does LOOK like something a never-coming-back-again crackhead would do. It's difficult to make dabbing look classy, in other words.

I wish someone would invent some kind of way for dabbing to look "friendlier" for lack of a better word. I think the torch is what kills it the most in the eyes of the casual joint smoker. I did see something awhile back called an Atmos or something like that -where you could put flower, hash, etc. in it and then the vapor would come up and was contained in some kind of cocktail glass looking thing and then you could "sip" the vapor. I must admit that it did make it look like something that might be fun at a party.

It definitely does look like you are doing hard drugs if you've never seen it before. I've never tried the puffco peak or the proxy but they do look a bit more classy.

I apologize. It wasn't the Atmos I was thinking of...It was THIS thing...The Bello Vapor Tap. Check it out...kind of a shitty video but you get the idea...

It still makes me paranoid, like I'm doing something wrong. Yeah dude they're called wax pens. Many many different brands and helps to being incognito. The Atmos Company has several well working devices. Now I prefer to go with the Yocan guys. There's a lot out there!

I suspect future attacks on Cannabis will employ photos & video of people using Dab Rigs. I can see the politicians now holding up those big placards in congress. Just a matter of time. Puritan swine will love using that against us.

This was a thing like 10 yrs ago I don’t think really care now
Just wait, big pharma & their lobbyist aren't going to give up anytime soon. Legal thc is a huge threat to several drug types. Alex Berenson was just in DC yesterday to scare monger conservatives about the dangers of high thc products & pyschosis etc. Of course science is on our side but the fights just beginning.

All in all it's better to find out that your friends might be wimps this way over them watching you get your ass kicked by 2 guys. Standing there telling them"come on guys, get off him".

Nah, they'll attack cannabis through junk science suggesting it leads to psychosis, lower iq, etc.

I hate crackheads, meth addicts, dust smokers... even junkies and pill heads...

I never thought of dabbing that way but it does make sense. Hash is nice.. anything butane worries me. I'd be fine with smoking home grown opium... but never injecting heroine into me. Or chewing coca leaves, but my cocaine days are long gone.. the shit is gross...

my philosophy is that the more natural, raw, unaltered it is.. the less it is a 'drug'.
