“We’re incredibly honored to be recognized by Americans for Safe Access, an organization that has done so much to advance safe, responsible access to cannabis. We’ve always believed people deserve better, safer ways to experience cannabis. For nearly two decades, we’ve worked to move the industry forward through thoughtful innovation, rigorous testing, and better education, so people can make more informed choices about what they consume and how. We’re proud to be recognized alongside so many working to set a higher standard for cannabis |
For nearly two decades, PAX has worked to advance how people experience cannabis through thoughtful design, pioneering technology, rigorous science, and a commitment to higher product standards. The company was founded on a simple belief: cannabis, used thoughtfully, can make life better, and people deserve products that allow them to experience the plant with greater control, consistency, and confidence. That belief led PAX to pioneer a new standard for portable cannabis vaporizers and continues to guide the company today.
From its earliest dry herb vaporizers to its latest generation of devices, PAX has continually advanced heating technology, airflow, portability, materials, design, and ease of use. By heating rather than burning flower, PAX devices are engineered to preserve more of the plant’s natural character while offering greater precision and control and providing an alternative to the harmful byproducts associated with combustion.
Central to that approach is a deep investment in science, research, and testing. At its San Francisco headquarters, PAX operates a multimillion-dollar testing laboratory where scientists and engineers study everything from device performance and materials to the aerosol consumers actually inhale. The company reports that its research comparing cannabis vaporization with combustion found substantial reductions in measured harmful and potentially harmful constituents when flower was vaporized rather than combusted.
That commitment is especially important in a field where scientific understanding, product standards, and regulatory frameworks are still evolving. PAX continues to invest in materials science, rigorous testing, quality, consumer education, and research to improve its own products while contributing to higher standards for cannabis products and devices.
After nearly twenty years, PAX’s purpose remains simple: to help people experience cannabis on their own terms. The company believes cannabis should fit into a modern, everyday lifestyle, with products made to a higher standard and an experience that is better, safer, and more informed.
PAX’s Flower Forward Award nomination recognizes its long-standing role in advancing whole flower vaporization through product design, testing, research, portability, and greater control over how cannabis flower is heated and inhaled.
