National

The aerosolized mist produced when a substance, like cannabis flower or concentrate, is heated to a temperature below its combustion point, allowing cannabinoids and terpenes to be released without burning. Unlike smoke, which contains byproducts from burning, vapor is generally cleaner and less harsh since it lacks many of the toxins and carcinogens found in smoke. Vapor is created using devices like vaporizers or vape pens and is inhaled for the effects of cannabinoids and terpenes.
