How Do I Use a Marijuana Vaporizer? | Discover Marijuana

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Beginners. No Comments on How Do I Use a Marijuana Vaporizer? | Discover Marijuana

Marijuana vaporizers, devices that heat raw cannabis flower to release vapors for inhalation, are the method of choice for many cannabis connoisseurs.

Vaporizers intended for use with cannabis are available in a huge range of shapes and sizes. Some models require a power connection and a bit of real estate on your desk or table, at least while you’re using them. Others are portable and easily mistaken for writing utensils.

Some vaporizer devices are also equipped for the dual uses of cannabis flower and concentrates like shatter or wax.

Utah’s Medical Cannabis patients can get raw flower, if OK’d by a Qualified Medical Provider, but they aren’t allowed to smoke it. Dry herb vaporizers, like the PAX 3 or the Firefly 2+, help those patients stay in compliance with the law.

Because vaporizers operate at sub-combustion temperatures, it’s impossible to inhale many of the (often carcinogenic) hydrocarbons found in marijuana smoke.

Many devices allow the user to adjust the temperature, allowing greater control over the specific cannabinoids and terpenes released for inhalation. Delta-9-THC, for example, is released at 315°F/157°C. View the “Activation Temps” guide at UtahMarijuana.org/guides for more!

What are your favorite dry herb vaporizer devices, operating temperatures, and/or strains to use? Let us know in the comments section. Thanks for subscribing!

Medical Marijuana for Beginners (Part 1): Finding Your "Just Right" Dose

Written by thcscout on . Posted in Beginners. No Comments on Medical Marijuana for Beginners (Part 1): Finding Your "Just Right" Dose

Today Tim and Black discuss how to go about finding Your “Just Right” Dose. More important than medical marijuana strain or delivery is getting your dosage perfect. Today we show you how!

Thanks for tuning in to part two of the second episode of Discover Marijuana with Tim & Blake, brought to you by https://utahmarijuana.org and https://zionmedicinal.com,

After years of marijuana research, many states in the US have rolled out legalization programs, whether medical or recreational/adult use. In Utah, marijuana was legalized for medicinal use in March 2020, and the beautiful friendship between your hosts, Tim Pickett, a QMP in Utah and founder of Utahmarijuana.org, and Blake Smith, Chief Scientific Officer of Zion Medicinal, was born.

Before you jump right into Medical Marijuana treatment, it’s important to understand not only how marijuana works, but also how to use marijuana effectively as medicine. To help you better understand this, Tim will tackle the medicine side, while Blake will break down the science behind marijuana and how it works to treat a variety of ailments.

Without the proper Medical Marijuana dosage and treatment plan from a provider, a new patient could encounter negative marijuana effects, like feeling disoriented, anxious, or “too high.” Many providers will give their Medical Marijuana patients a CBD dosage to combat some of the undesirable marijuana side effects, as CBD can act as a buffer to some of the psychoactivity that comes with its THC counterpart. For more about CBD and THC, visit utahmarijuana.org, your #1 source for all things cannabis in Utah. While you’re there, take some time to study up on Utah Marijuana laws and look into getting a Utah Medical Marijuana Card.
