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.
X Only use hemp flowers (Cannabis flos) prescribed by a doctor and
available from a pharmacy. Otherwise, there is a risk of conflict with
the law.
X Ask your doctor, pharmacist or, if necessary, the responsible authorities
for information about the current legal situation at your place of residence.
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
according 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 that can be inhaled and respired. The droplets are absorbed in the
alveoli and enter the bloodstream (systemic absorption).
Reference values validated in studies show that 50% of the hemp flowers'
cannabinoids are found in the aerosol produced by the Vaporizer.
When this aerosol is inhaled, approx. 65% of this amount enter the blood-
stream through the pulmonary alveoli. The rest is exhaled.
The medically effective cannabinoids THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) and CBD
(cannabidiol) behave in the same way.
