Because dabs are super potent, it’s easy to overdo it and get panic-level high by accident. Dabbing can also lead to higher tolerance requiring you to smoke more weed to maintain the same high. It can also lead to worse withdrawal symptoms than traditional marijuana use.
Unless you’re using an e-rig (electronic dab rig) or battery powered dabbing system, you’ll likely be using a torch to heat a quartz banger. These tools get really hot and pose a risk of injury due to burns from extremely hot surfaces if you’re not careful.
Keep in mind that any drug, regardless of its purpose, carries some risk. Always exercise caution and take things slowly to see how your body reacts.
