The iinhale is a butane powered, portable pocket vaporizer. It was throughly road tested for an entire week, you can here the report recorded live during the testing here.
I’ve been listening to the chap that hosts that show for more than a year now. After hearing his review I purchased one and can say that it is all that it seems to be.
Easy to operate. Very efficient. Quite a stealth machine. Perhaps the best part is the convenience. I leave it loaded. And in the middle of the night, when I need it most my medicine is handy and can be administered without getting up to fuss with lighters, grinders, cords, plugs, pipes, bowls. And not much of a wait to hit it either.
It reaches functional temperatures in under a minute. Holding 120 minutes worth of butane this device fits in the palm of your hand. Similar in size to a cell phone. There is little to no aroma created as you’re not burning anything. And the cost is comparable to other vaporizers that require additional parts, electricity and more.
I own a lovely portable vaporizor that is powered by a bic lighter. It takes a bit of practice to get the temps right and the lighters do get very hot. I’ve burned myself several times. Also it requires little or no wind when using outdoors. And at our cardholders meetings sharing it is a better idea than practice as it takes a bit of practice to use properly without burning the cannabis and soiling the device with the black tar.
This iinhale device is wonderfully easy to use and share with other cardholders. You simply turn it one, press the piazo (sp?) switch, let it heat up for about 45 seconds and draw delicious flavor through the tube.
The herb chamber holds quite a bit of herb. It is so efficient that I’m hardly putting a dent in my supply.
I highly recommend this vaporizer. Mark my words, it is the next generation of cannabis consumption. These will become as popular as bic lighters.

An alternative way to deliver the medicine is through digestion. It is important to note that heat is required to transform the cannabinoids into a usefull form.
With the butter resulting from this recipe one can bake cookies etc.
Be aware that ingesting products containing cannabis can affect you differently and often times more dramatically than by smoking or vaporizing methods. Experiment carefully to find the right dosage for you.

This just in from ASA:
Have You Heard the Good News?
Dear ASA Supporter,
Today, California Attorney General Jerry Brown released guidelines that direct law enforcement on how to approach encounters with medical cannabis patients and that explicitly acknowledge that “a properly organized and operated collective or cooperative that dispenses medical marijuana through a storefront may be lawful under California law.” These guidelines are a direct result of a cooperative effort between Americans for Safe Access (ASA) and the Attorney General’s Office, and represent a new milestone in the permanence and legal acceptance of California’s medical cannabis laws.
The release of these guidelines demonstrates how invaluable ASA’s work really is. But we need your help right now to keep doing this kind of important work to protect and expand patients’ rights in California. Please take a moment right now to make a contribution to ASA.
The Attorney General’s guidelines represent a major turning point for the state of California. Attorney General Brown, our highest-ranking law enforcement officer is now joining voters, lawmakers, and the courts in reaffirming the validity of our state law. These guidelines provide long-awaited direction for patients and police, as well as for lawyers, judges and public officials to better understand their rights, responsibilities, and obligations under state law.
The guidelines firmly establish that as long as patients and caregivers are abiding by local and state laws, they should not be arrested and their medicine should not be confiscated. Reaffirming that California’s medical marijuana law is not preempted by federal law, the Attorney General directs “state and local law enforcement officers [to] not arrest individuals or seize marijuana under federal law” when an individual’s conduct is legal under state law!
These guidelines are the result of ASA’s five years of hard work organizing the grassroots, building relationships, fighting in court, and demanding state policies that support patients’ rights. Due to ASA’s relationship with the Attorney General’s Office, developed over several years, the Attorney General approached ASA for cooperation and assistance in drafting the guidelines. ASA voiced the concerns of patients in this process and our feedback was crucial in obtaining guidelines that are most beneficial to medical marijuana patients and providers.
We could not have accomplished so much without your support, and we need your ongoing commitment more than ever to keep pushing toward full implementation of California law. Please make a generous contribution today.
ASA will be working hard this summer and fall to educate patients, elected officials, and law enforcement about the guidelines. Success at this level is a turning point not only in California, but throughout the nation. It is a giant leap forward in defending medical cannabis patients’ rights. Thank you for your support in making this happen – and in helping us do even more this year!
Sincerely,
Don Duncan
California Director

February 22nd, 2008 in Portland Oregon MAMA premiered a film featuring Rick Steves that is part of a campaign to stimulate rational and informed discussion about America’s drug policies.
This film is a key component of the campaign launched by the Americans Civil Liberties Union. It takes place in a talk show like setting hosted by travel guru Rick Steves. In the course of the film facts specific to Washington state are displayed, these can be replaced with any state’s facts easily and inexpensively.
The film will shortly be available at Marijuana Conversations home page.
I spoke briefly with the presenters and have included that audio in the link below.
