A better way to dose during this crisis?

I don't wanna be the skunk at the picnic, but these are crazy times and the COVID19 has us all (or nearly all) more conscious of what's important. So maybe this is worth thinking about for a few moments. I've been self medicating since I was 12 and I'm in my 60's now. Being in a higher risk age group makes me consider how I medicate a bit different. Combustibles are no doubt, toughest on the lungs. So I'm doing much smaller hits - micro hits, maybe - way, way short of lung burn. Vapes are maybe better but not much say the medical experts. And edibles. Edibles are best. They don't negatively affect the lungs at all. They are definitely not my first choice, but I'm willing to compromise for lowering risks and living a long and happy stoner life.
Enjoy life to the fullest and be safe.

Smoking weed and coronavirus: Even occasional use raises risk of Covid-19 complications | CNN

You may think that an occasional hit of weed during the coronavirus pandemic isn't an issue, but even that could make it more difficult for doctors to diagnose you with Covid-19. And more frequent use puts you at risk for severe complications.

I understand a little. I don't consider myself an habitual type person, but I know I do enjoy the taste and the ritual of the bowl, cone, etc.. And the fellowship of puff, puff, pass. Damn, I'm sure gonna miss that.

I cut back on my smoking quite a bit lately. Made a batch of canna butter thats been helping greatly, but like you I crave that actual smoking of the flowers in joints.

Relatively speaking, I’m a “man of moderation” dosing for light to medium buzz 4-5 times a week in the afternoons &/or evenings. Weekend power walks usually start off a lot earlier and a bit stronger. My daughters often quote my philosophic mantra, “Moderation in all things... including moderation”.
