A vaporizer is a device which raises the temperature of marijuana high enough to cause the active ingredient (THC) to vaporize, but not high enough to burn the marijuana. The main benefit is that it's healthier and eventually cheaper (no THC get's burnt in the process).

Here's a good way to vaporize THC with shit you have lyin around! Get a fryin pan. Put your weed or hash on it, about half a teaspoon is plenty! Get a glass jar (spaghetti sauce, peanut butter, pickles, etc...) and invert it over said hash or weed. Oh, you'll also need a pot holder or two, a paper towel tube and the top for the jar. Then you want to crank up your stove. With a gas range the THC will vaporize very quickly. An electric stove will work too, but those take a bit longer to heat up (obviously) It takes a bit of experimenting to get the feel for when the pot is "cooked," but there's this characteristic hazy brown colour that develops. You'll get to know it. When this happens, take the pan off the heat, but don't let it sit around. Whatever you do, DON'T FORGET TO TURN OFF THE STOVE WHEN YOU ARE DONE. You then want to use the pot holder to lift the jar off the pan, and while the jar is still inverted, cap it. Then put the jar down on another pot holder, let the whole contraption sit for a minute to cool, take off the lid and use the paper towel tube to suck out the tasty THC! I know of no better way to get really high. This whole process also has a really cool "Narcotic Kitchen/Basehead" feel to it. Enjoy!
