I know there's already a few threads on this but I'd like to hear from some more people. I'm a professional rock singer but unfortunately I suffer for gastroparesis (slow digestion) which causes extremes nausea in the mornings. (I have been professionally diagnosed) however, because the FDA might as well be the mob, the drug to treat this condition hasn't been "approved" in the US , it's approved in every other industrialized country. I have found that weed is the only thing that cures the nausea and allows me to eat without constantly trying to not vomit. I only consume cannibis using the volcano vaporizer (never anything else) because I've heard it will not cause vocal damage. Can I hear from other singers? Is the volcano safe to use? Do you warm up your voice before or after you vape? Have you seen any range decrease since starting cannibis? Cliff notes : profession singer has stomach issues, uses volcano vaporizer, wants other vocalists take on vocal damage while using a vaporizer.
I'm no singer but Vaping is better than smoking especially for someone who uses their voice professionally. Many professional singers use grass by smoking or vaping. Personally I would use a portable vape like the Arizer Air where you can control the temperature to a certain not exact extent. My wife is a non smoker and has no problem using the AIR. Go portable. Its good around the house and on the go.(Volcano is kinda overrated, portable is the new thing)
My gf vapes, and believe me, she can still yell and scream perfectly! I think your good to go op. "vaporbongin" dilligaf
I'm not a pro but I have been in choir my whole life and I just love to sing when I don't feel like shit from my gastroparesis. Thankfully weed helps a lot. I find that the volcano and Buddha vap are very easy on my throat however it helps to have warm tea or cold ice water during and after smoking. The warm after really helps loosen up my throat and vocal chords. If you are having problems I would stick to some of those old singers tips for when your voice gets strained or you have a cold. Now as for the range... I notice some decrease but I'm not doing any vocal exorcises either. Definate range decrease when smoking and I cant hold the note as long either but I dont notice the same when I vap or do dabs. You could try eating weed but it takes so long to get into me that way that I hardly feel the effect. Hope that helps
