Aerosolization systems, methods, and apparatuses

An apparatus for rapidly administering a drug, comprising:

• a chamber containing non-oxygenated gas and an amount of the drug;
• the chamber operably coupled to a heat source;
• applying heat from the heat source upon actuation of the apparatus until a boiling temperature of the drug is reached or exceeded;
• the apparatus providing an indication that sufficient drug has been vaporized;
• the apparatus ceasing heating when the indication is provided;
• and
• a tube or other conduit to allow inhalation of the gas and vaporized drug from the apparatus.

An apparatus for vaporizing plant matter, comprising:

• a cartridge-receiving fitting;
• a cartridge containing plant matter for vaporization;
• a heating element internal or external to the cartridge;
• the cartridge filled with a gas having an amount of oxygen less than a LOC for combustion of the plant materials;
• a gas-bearing connector capable of connecting to the cartridge-receiving fitting, thereby allowing the gas to be inhaled.

An apparatus for vaporizing plant matter, comprising:

• a vaporization chamber;
• a pump for removal of an amount of gas from the chamber;
• the apparatus calibrated to remove enough gas to lower the boiling point of one or more substances within the chamber to a temperature at or below a set temperature;
• the apparatus, upon actuation, lowering a pressure to match the temperature that the vaporization chamber is at or will be heated to;
• the apparatus equalizing the pressure after boiling to substantially match ambient atmospheric pressure;
• and
• a gas-bearing connector capable of connecting to the vaporization chamber and allowing the gas to be inhaled.

An apparatus for cooking with low smoke point oils, comprising:

• a heating chamber;
• a heat source;
• a source of non-oxygenated gas, the source operably connected to the heating chamber;
• the heating chamber capable of being cleared of oxygen to below a LOC for substances being heated by the heat source, such clearing accomplished by replacing atmospheric air with the source of non-oxygenated gas.

An apparatus for creation of cannabis concentrate, comprising:

• a heating chamber containing cannabis;
• a heat source;
• a source of hydrogen gas, the source operably connected to the heating chamber;
• the heating chamber cleared of oxygen, the clearing being accomplished by replacing some or all of the oxygenated gas with hydrogen gas to below a LOC for substances being heated, including the hydrogen;
• heating the cannabis to above a boiling point of one or more cannabinoids;
• venting the hydrogen gas containing vaporized cannabis components into a mixing chamber;
• adding oxygen in the form of O2 to the mixing chamber;
• and
• catalyzing a reaction in which the oxygen and the hydrogen gas combine to form water.
