OMURA is a company that produces dry-herb vaporisers. Releaf has partnered with OMURA to provide high-quality, reliable and efficient dry herb vaporisers to our patients, which can be purchased through the Patient Portal shop.

What is a dry herb vaporiser?

 

Dry herb vaporisers heat cannabis to release therapeutically active compounds without combusting the plant material or producing any smoke. This technique allows patients to inhale beneficial compounds without exposure to the harmful toxins typically found in smoke.

It is illegal to smoke medical cannabis in the UK.

 

How do OMURA vaporisers work?

 

OMURA uses patented heat-not-burn technology to gently heat the prescribed medical cannabis flower, allowing for precise and controlled release of the active compounds.
