Marijuana & Pregnancy: Top Studies

CannaMD

Is it safe to continue cannabis-based therapies during pregnancy? A quick search of the Internet yields conflicting answers, controversy, and cautionary tales. The issue is further clouded by long-held cultural attitudes.

Today’s Answer of the Day

TheAnswerPage

Describe the process of vaporization of cannabis. Vaporization is a smokeless delivery system in which warm air or heat of 180°C to 200°C, rather than a flame, is used to convert cannabinoids and other compounds into a fine mist that can be inhaled. Due to their volatility, cannabinoids will vaporize at temperatures of 180°C to 200°C, but will not combust and therefore few combustion by-products such as soot or polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons are produced.
