Abstract

Cannabis vaporization is a technology designed to deliver inhaled cannabinoids while avoiding the respiratory hazards of smoking by heating cannabis to a temperature where therapeutically active canna- binoid vapors are produced, but below the point of combustion where noxious pyrolytic byproducts are formed. This study was designed to evaluate the efficacy of an herbal vapor- izer known as the Volcano ® , produced by Storz & Bickel GmbH&Co. KG, Tuttlingen, Germany (http://www.storz-bickel.com). Three 200 mg samples of standard NIDA cannabis were vaporized at temperatures of 155°-218°C. For comparison, smoke from combusted samples was also tested.
