Already Vaped Bud: The Gift of Dry Herb Vaping that Keeps Giving

Hopefully, I’ve convinced you that dry herb vaping is the way to go. From safety to the predictability of results, I still find dry herb vaping to be my favorite consumption method. I wanted to write about one of the most compelling reasons to begin dry herb vaping, which is all the uses of already vaped bud. Unlike straight-up combustion, vaporization doesn’t turn the bud to ash and already vaped bud is the product left over after you’ve vaped your bud. Vaporization subjects the bud to heat to vaporize the cannabinoids and terpenes, which in turn decarboxylates the cannabis.

Decarboxylation is the process that converts the cannabinoids in the plant to chemicals usable by the body’s endocannabinoid system. In other words, without this process (which occurs through heating or to a lesser extent curing the cannabis), there would be no effects of cannabis. Decarboxylation is the first step to recipes that cook with cannabis, and our already vaped bud can be substituted into any process that is utilizing decarboxylated bud! Given, because we have vaporized a lot of the cannabinoids and terpenes it will not be as powerful as cannabis that was decarbed at low temperatures, it still packs a powerful punch. The higher temperature you use to vaporize, the more cannabinoids and terpenes that were captured by that process, so keep in mind that some ratio adjustment will be needed if you are looking to substitute AVB for decarbed cannabis.
