The Use Of Hemp Flowers (Cannabis Flos); The Efficiency Of Cannabinoids Vaporized From Hemp Flowers (Cannabis Flos) - Vapormed VOLCANO MEDIC Instructions For Use Manual

6. THE USE OF DRONABINOL
Stretch Valve
Balloon tight
The Valve Balloon is not suit-
able for storing the aerosol
for long periods, as it will con-
dense on the interior surface of the
Balloon in time (a few hours).
Inhale the contents of the Valve Bal-
loon within 10 minutes.
Breathing Technique
Inhale only half as much as possible.
Hold your breath a few seconds and
then breathe out slowly.
We recommend consciously concen-
trating on your inhalation. The can-
nabinoid aerosol is absorbed by the
alveoli and into the bloodstream. The
onset of the effect takes approx. 1-2
min.
End of Inhalation
Disconnect the power plug from the
socket after inhalation.

7. THE USE OF HEMP FLOWERS
Use only standardized, medicinal
hemp flowers (cannabis flos) that
have been tested by licensed produc-
ers for authenticity, purity, and patho-
gens according to the directives of the
competent authorities in your country.
Under no circumstances
should you use cannabis from
the illegal black market or any
other cannabis that has not been sub-
jected to recognised quality controls.
The amount of active ingredients in
these products is generally unknown,
may fluctuate considerably, and they
often contain herbicides, fertilizers,
bacteria, etc.
7.1. The Efficiency of Cannabi-
noids vaporized from Hemp
Flowers (Cannabis Flos)
By following the procedure listed in
the Instructions for Use the systemic
bioavailability of cannabinoids vapor-
ized from hemp flowers is approx. 29-
40%.
For comparison: The systemic bio-
availability of cannabinoids aminis-
tered orally is below 15%.
The following factors determine the
cannbinoid concentration in the Valve
Balloon:
Temperature - Higher vaporiza-
tion temperatures cause a higher
cannbinoid concentration in the
Valve Balloon, lower vaporiza-
tion temperatures cause a lower
cannabinoid concentration in the
Valve Balloon.
Quantity - Higher quantities in the
Filling Chamber cause a higher
cannbinoid concentration in the
Valve Balloon, lower quantities in
the Filling Chamber cause a lower
cannabinoid concentration in the
Valve Balloon.
Quality - Higher cannabinoid
concentrations in the plant mate-
rial cause a higher cannabinoid
concentration in the Valve Balloon,
lower cannabinoid concentrations
in the plant material cause a lower
cannabinoid concentration in the
Valve Balloon.
To obtain a reproducible dosage with
good efficiency, it is recommended to
vaporize small quanitites (100 mg) in
the Filling Chamber at top tempera-
ture (210°C/410°F) in a single Valve
Balloon only.
