Vaporizer actually. And by no small margin either. But there is a problem with vapo too.
First it's not a very sociable instrument. Not even in the same ball park as a joint. A joint you take with you no fuss no muss, pass it around and toss it when it's done.
Second, it's very different from smoking Pot. I find that there is a lot of getting used to getting high without the smoke and tar and all the other chemicals taken in. As well, missing is that burnt out feeling afterward.
I think most people used to smoking Pot find they miss this aspect so much that the hassle using a vaporizer is more than enough to put them off.
Not to mention a good vaporizer is a couple of hundred bucks.
The argument for, on the other hand is that the amount of Pot to make a small joint is enough to get a few people quite baked for some time. Much higher than smoking the same Pot.
With prohibition, research and development has been minimal into this area, though there have been some seriously fantastic results from what has been done so far. I can see, with an open development policy small personal vaporizers that are effective and convenient being made available at a very reasonable price making smoking Pot a thing of the past. Thus making the ingestion of Cannabis a healthy part of anyone's day.

How many times have you been hit with the usual jargon about how bad marijuana is for the brain, and how stupid you are going to become if you smoke it.
Yet, some of the most creative minds of our time attribute their unconventional thinking to the effects of this beautiful herb. So does it make you stupid, or does it actually INCREASE innovation?
Well according to a study conducted by the University of Saskatchewan in Saskatoon, Canada, the effects of marijuana on the brain are everything but detrimental. Let me explain.
Professor Xia Zhang and some of his colleagues at Saskatchewan University decided to test a synthetic form of THC (HU210) on a group of test rats to observe the effects the drug has on neurogenesis (brain cell formation and generation). They gave these rats HIGH DOSES of the THC-like compound twice a day, everyday for a period of ten days to get a good idea of THC’s effects on brain cells.
It turns out, this synthetic THC-like compound actually INCREASED the rate of brain cell formation in the hippocampus (neurogenesis) by a whopping FORTY PERCENT!
