Vaporiser in plain English
A device that heats cannabis material enough to release its active compounds as vapour without burning it.
Avoiding combustion avoids tar, carbon monoxide and other by-products that have no therapeutic purpose. It also gives more consistent delivery than smoking.
Vaporising is not harmless: airway irritation and cough are common, and running a device too hot approaches combustion. Where a prescriber specifies a device and temperature, that specification is part of the prescription.
