Glossary term
Vaporisation: Vaporisation means heating a product so active compounds are inhaled as vapour or aerosol rather than through combustion.
Why this term matters
This is the key administration term for patients using prescribed flower in specialist contexts.
UK medical cannabis context
A UK patient site should explain vaporisation clearly while avoiding product-promotion or device-shopping language.
What not to assume
It still carries impairment and route-related safety questions, and device instructions matter.
Careful wording: Avoid treating vaporisation as risk-free or interchangeable with general vaping culture.
