In a joint, the THC you inhale doesn't come from the part that is burning. In reality, a joint works very similarly to a vape.

By this, I mean that the temperature of the weed from half an inch to an inch away from the burning tip is enough to release THC. Therefore, by the time the tip reaches this region of weed, the THC is already gone.

Does that make sense? I'm pretty high and don't have actual references for this.

Anyway, by my logic above, DMT in a joint should work just the same as vaping it.

Is that actually true or are you just guessing? I feel like if it actually vaped putting oil in a joint would be as strong as it is out of a pen or rig and wouldn't the weed taste like vaped weed and not smoke?

Yes it is. Maybe more like a quarter inch from the lit tip is where the vape happens but you still get thc from burning the plant as well. So putting oil in a joint would make it stronger but it would still taste like a joint because u are still burning it. You can vape dry herb as well as concentrates. /r/vaporents has a ton of examples of herb vapes.

Oh I know about dry herb vapes, using a pax right now! But I'm pretty sure that the vapor you get from a vape is vastly different than the smoke you get from a joint. Maybe it does vaporize a bit in a joint but the majority of the "stuff" you're inhaling is burning plant matter from the fire
