The Vaporizer ensures the highly effective, safe, and fast-acting application
of cannabinoids.
At a certain dosage, cannabis can have a psychotropic (mind-altering) effect.
Thus, there is a potential for abuse, which governments in nearly all countries
of the world counteract with corresponding laws.

Only use hemp flowers (Cannabis flos) prescribed by a doctor and availa
-
ble from a pharmacy. Otherwise, there is a risk of conflict with the law.

Ask your doctor, pharmacist or, if necessary, the responsible authorities
for information about the current legal situation at your place of resi-
dence.
Currently, patients in practically all countries, which allow the use of hemp
flowers for medical purposes, get a prescription of a certain amount of dried
hemp flowers. These hemp flowers are delivered either as whole pieces or
already ground and have to be portioned and weight out by the patient ac-
cording to the doctor‘s directive. In case the hemp flowers are not ground,
they have to be ground with the included Herb Mill first.
Cannabinoids vaporize at temperatures over 180 °C (356 °F) and then form
an aerosol with an average droplet size (MMAD) of 0.64 µm (micrometer) that
can be inhaled and respired. The droplets are absorbed in the alveoli and enter
the bloodstream (systemic absorption).

If you have any questions about the medical use of cannabinoids or can-
nabis, contact your doctor, pharmacist or the manufacturers of medical
hemp flowers (Cannabis flos).
