Marijuana Consumption, Smoking, Eating, And Drinking

Marijuana Consumption, Smoking, Eating, And Drinking: "Vaporizers

------- The first vaporizers (also called tilt pipes) were introduced in the 1970's. Vaporizers have a heating element built into them, the element heats the marijuana to a lower temperature than a flame would.

At these lower temperatures, the psychoactive ingredients (cannabinoids) are release from the plant material but some of the other harmful chemicals are not. Because of the lower (sub-flammable) temperature, a vapor is released, rather than smoke. See this for more info."
