Vaping vs smoking cannabis: what's the difference?

Products

Vaporizing heats flower below the point of combustion, so you inhale cannabinoid-rich vapor instead of smoke, which means fewer of the irritants and tar that come with burning and often more efficient use of each gram. Many medical programs actually require vaporization and prohibit smoking outright. The tradeoff is upfront cost: a quality dry-herb vaporizer is an investment, but most patients find it pays off in smoother sessions and less wasted flower.
