"Volcano® Medic vapourizer is licensed for medical administration of cannabis in Canada March 2010 (Licence No. 82405).~The contents of a vial of drug product formulation will be transferred to the Volcano® Medic's filling chamber (sample-holder) equipped top and bottom with fine wire mesh to retain the finely ground material. The filling chamber will be placed atop the main body of the unit and then have a, 12.5 L, heat-resistant Medic Valve balloon affixed. Active components are vapourized at 190 °C.
