Are Cannabis Vape Pens Safe? Ep 209

Ep 209 - Are Cannabis Vape Pens Safe?

In this episode of the Wake + Bake Podcast, cohosts Andrea Meharg and Corinne Tobias dive into what we do and don’t know about the safety of cannabis vape pens.

Vape pens are the second most popular product in the cannabis industry (the first being flower), and they grow in popularity every year. 

It’s no wonder why. Cannabis vape pens are convenient, tasty, discreet, and potent, but are they as safe as people in the cannabis industry want you to believe?

We went down the rabbit hole to find out: 

• What’s in cannabis vape pens? 
• How are vape pens made?
• What was behind the wave of vape related lung injuries and deaths in 2019?
• Could vape pen batteries cause injury (or even death)?
• Are vape pens safer for your lungs than smoking cannabis?
• Is there a way to use a vape pen without any risk?

This research yielded some of our most shocking findings since we started this podcast, so if you’re a vape pen user, cannabis enthusiast, healthcare or wellness professional, you won’t want to miss the verdict.
