Is anyone else just not about that dab life?

Not attacking you, just giving my opinion as some one who completely switched to dabs a couple years ago: with dabs, all you're doing is using a torch to heat a piece of high grade titanium, which you then put pure cannabis resin on, and the pure heat causes it to vaporize. There's no direct flame touching the product, it just gets vaporized by pure heat. That honestly seems way more natural (and safe) to me then lighting plant matter on fire over and over again and then inhaling the smoke that comes off of it. With flower, you have to take five or ten+ hits off of a bowl filled with ashy, burnt up plant matter, but with dabs I only need one great tasting, teeny tiny little inhalation (of vapor, compared to smoke from setting plant matter on fire). I used to cough my lungs up with every toke of flower I took, but I haven't coughed once in the two+ years I've been dabbing (except for the time I smoked a joint last summer). I'll honestly never switch back to flower as long as I have access to concentrates, smoking flower just seems primitive and dirty to me, on top of being harsh and bad for my lungs. I compare it to eating pizza: when you order a pizza, do you eat the cardboard box with it? That's what smoking flower is; lighting all the unnecessary plant matter on fire, then inhaling it, is basically like eating the cardboard box with the pizza inside of it: it has no value, is unnecessary, and it isn't good for you. With hash, you're taking the pizza out of the box, then eating just the pizza. You're vaporizing only the resin, not lighting a chunk of plant matter on fire so you can also burn the resin attached to said plant matter. Sorry this is long, but I see posts like this every day and it just seems ridiculous how uninformed people are when it comes to concentrates. Like them or not, concentrates are the future of cannabis. Lighting plant matter on fire then inhaling the smoke that comes off of it over and over again is not the way people should be using cannabis; it's not good for you, it's inefficient, unnecessary and it's becoming outdated. But if you enjoy it, keep on enjoying it! I just thought I'd give you a response to your claims of dabbing being 'unnatural', which quite frankly is completely untrue and offensive to me.
