It helps having a co-worker who's into vaping - we can commiserate and compare notes.

No prob. Sorry about your friend. I've lived long enough myself to see many people suffer and die from tobacco related illnesses. That is one reason I try so hard to reach cannabis smokers and spread the word about vaporizing.
As for an earlier comment that vaping cannot get one "mind-numbingly baked off your ass", I wholeheartedly dispute that, however I wanted to add that people do indeed consume cannabis for it's medicinal properties, as well as it's well-known relaxation properties. Not everyone seeks to be comatose every time they medicate.
If you can have a nice edible and feel pleasant all day, and it relaxes you while you work, I say what a nice plant indeed is weed!
Contrary to some stereotypes, one need not get couch-lock in order to appreciate cannabis. There are many people who regularly use cannabis that spend most of their waking hours productively working, getting daily exercise, and living a highly functional and rewarding life.
Good work habits and controlling munchies can be a matter of discipline and focus. As a side benefit, cannabis quite often helps inspire creative ideas (I'm constantly making notes on a wide variety of things I have been working on).
As Dyna Mo probably knows, you build up a tolerance to THC with regular cannabis use, so I would recommend a good week hiatus from hemp, and then give it a go with a vaporizer again. DM if you are ever up here in the Bay Area, bring your MM card and lets do lunch...
