Vaporizing THC
With a vaporizer-pipe the cannabis is gently heated to the point
where active ingredients are vaporized and released but do not reach
combustion temperature.
The vaporizer produces THC at a temperature of 200 C. (392 F.) while
eliminating three measured toxins benzene, a known carcinogen,
plus toluene and naphthalene. Temperatures of around 200 C. appear
to be most efficient for vaporization. The potency of the cannabis
in this study was on the order of 10% 12%. Significant amounts
of THC (around 5%6%) begin to be released at 180 C., with
slightly more (7% or 8%) at 200 C.
Carbon monoxide and smoke tars were both qualitatively reduced by
the vaporizer.
