INHALATION OF CANNABINOIDS
Vaporizing cannabinoids
Cannabinoids vaporize at temperatures over 180°C and form an aerosol that can be inhaled and respired. The droplets are absorbed in the alveoli and enter the bloodstream (systemic absorption). When cannabinoids are inhaled, the onset of the effect takes approx. 1-2 min. and the effects lasts for 2-4 hours. For application, a distinction must be made between the vaporization of dronabinol (THC) and the vaporization of cannabinoids from hemp flowers (cannabis and derivatives). With the Dosing Capsules, which are available as optional accessories, crushed hemp flowers or, when using the Filling Pad, dronabinol can be filled and stored in the Magazine until use.
Dronabinol (THC) and Derivatives
When using liquid and resinous cannabis derivatives or dronabinol, ensure that the derivatives are inhalable according to the manufacturer’s instructions. This applies in particular to derivatives that have been liquefied using solvents. If the product is dissolved in alcohol, evaporate the alcohol from the dose to be inhaled in advance to avoid inhaling it. Plant extracts that do not contain additives are recommended.
