Vaporization has opened a whole new world of dry herb possibilities. In the past, the thought of smoking something like St. John’s Wort would have been met with raised eyebrows. Today, things are much different. There is a wide range of dry herbs that are suitable for use in a vaporizer. Amazingly enough, some of these herbs can even be found in your kitchen cabinet. Others however will likely have to be sourced through a botanical shop. Here we will be looking at various dry herbs and their benefits, as well as the proper temperatures to vape them at in order to achieve the desired results.
