Ways to Medicate

Vaporization is an alternative to smoking. Rather than burning the herb, which produces irritating, toxic, and carcinogenic by-products, a vaporizer heats the material in a partial vacuum so that the active compounds contained in the plant boil off into a vapor. No combustion occurs, so no smoke or taste of smoke is evident. There are numerous designs of vaporizers you can find out there. The typical design is a box shaped heat source with a separate rubber or plastic hose guiding the THC byproduct to a mouthpiece for inhalation. A new design rising in popularity is the bag system. In this design the heat source mounts a balloon style baggy on its top and collects the THC byproduct, for an easy handheld inhalation system. Whichever design catches your eye, know that vaporizing provides a different high. Try one out and see if this is the high for you. Enjoy!
