Vaporizing Hash

Vaporization takes advantages of the low boiling point of cannabinoids and terpenoids to deliver a healthier 'smoke'. While vaporizing hashish requires higher tech equipment than smoking, vaporizing offers dramatic health advantages for users.The high temperatures associated with combustion from smoking produces chemicals that Can dame lung tissue. The relatively low temperatures of vaporization produce a cool, less toxic and highly psychoactive vapour for inhalation.

Vaporization is an alternative to eating or burning hashish. The THC in hashish vaporize when the hashish burns. The THC is released with the smoke, and the smoker inhales a mixture of vaporized THC and smoke. THC vapoirizes at a temperature lower (~200 degrees C)than the burning point of solid hash constituents(~500 degrees C) such as plant debris and dust. Heating Hashish between 200 and 450 degrees C allows the THC to vaporize before the hashish ignites. The volatile aromatic terpenoids also vaporize, releasing flavours and aromas. The user receives the full potency of the THC as well as flavours without smoke. The user is exposed to lesser amount of smoke particles, toxic gasses, and tars.

Combustion of cannabis under normal smoking conditions is harmful and in-efficient method for introduction of THC into the smoker's system. The high temperatures involved in the combustion process result in formation of carcinogenic tar components, ciliostatic irritants, and toxic gases such as Carbon Monoxide. Over 50% of the psychoactive component, THC is destroyed during combustion.

Production of these toxic components is associated with the high temperatures of the combustion process. Vapourization is a method that allows users to experience the full potency of THC without the negative affects of combustion that are usually associated with smoking

Efficient vaporization of cannabinoids occurs only over temperatures between 185-195 degrees C. At 200 degrees C or higher the cannabis matter undergos spontaneous combustion, resulting in persistent smouldering which produces thick irritating smoke. In order to avoid this, marijuana should be gently heated or broiled rather slowly, thus vaporisation process takes more than twice as long as the combustion process.

During regular combustion, cannaboids undergo polymerization, cyclization, aromatization, and other degradative reactions.

Toxic gases are formed during the combustion process from smoking. At lower temperature of the vaporization process, carbon monoxide formation does not occur
Vapourization is a highly efficient method for transference of cannabinoids from raw vegetable matter into the vapor phase, without formation of carbon monoxide.
