If I was going to drink whisky (40% ABV), I might have a standard 45ml shot for a dose of 18ml of EtOH. If I was going to drink ale (8% ABV), I might drink a standard 500ml glass for an EtOH dose of 40ml. Note, I would get twice as much alcohol in a pint of beer than in a glass of whiskey, even though whiskey is much stronger.
Similarly, a reasonable starting dose for someone without any tolerance of THC is 5-10mg when taken orally, or 25mg when burned and inhaled, since much of the cannibinoids are destroyed when combusted. Vaporizing dry flower should have a starting dose somewhere in between the two.
If you buy 10% cannabis, you have to inhale smoke from about 0.25g (250mg) of flower to get that starter dose. If you buy 20% cannabis, you reduce the risks of smoke inhalation, because you can smoke a smaller amount.
If you vaporize 20% cannabis, you can use an even smaller amount to get the same effect.
If you vaporize cannabis concentrates (80% THC), you only need to inhale the vapor from about 12mg, about half the size of a grain of rice. This dramatically reduces the amount of dangerous byproducts that will impact your lungs compared to inhaling the smoke from burning vegetation.
