For literally years now, I’ve been telling people all about the wonderful little Magic Flight Launch Box (MFLB) vaporizer and how it lets you inhale medical marijuana almost anywhere discreetly and healthfully.

Well, now you can see exactly what happens inside one while in operation with actual cannabis. And this is pretty fascinating stuff, whether you own one or not:

If you’re not at all familiar with the whole vaporizer thing, Wikipedia says “Vaporization is an alternative to burning (smoking) that avoids the production of irritating toxic and carcinogenic by-products by heating the material so its active compounds boil off into a vapor. No combustion occurs, so no smoke or taste of smoke is present. Vapor ideally contains virtually zero particulate matter or tar, and significantly lower concentrations of noxious gases such as carbon monoxide. Vaporizers contain various forms of extraction chambers including straight bore, venturi, or sequential venturi, and are made of materials such as metal or glass. The extracted vapor may be collected in a jar or inflatable bag, or inhaled directly through a hose or pipe. With little to no smoke produced and cooler temperatures, less material is required to achieve a given level of effect. Hence, the irritating and harmful effects of smoking are reduced, as is secondhand smoke.”
