What is this? Some sort of ‘protect the children because they’re totally not using apples and soda cans’ bullshit?

Why is this in any way necessary or even useful?

Edit: Just discovered this was about tobacco, making this even stupider since this product isn’t for tobacco, it’s for cannabis. https://dclcorp.com/blog/news/pact-act-impacts-vape-industry/

      It’s not weed itself. It’s also never been a regulation before this year.

      Would I be mad signing for alcohol? No.

      Would I be mad signing for a cocktail shaker? Yes.

        If alcohol needed an implement to consume I would have no doubt it would be controlled as well.

        Headshops aren’t suppose to sell to minors, since they were skirting the law, now new laws have come out to handle it.

            Weed and tobacco have the same restrictions for selling to minors, no? This can be used for both as well yeah?

              Did you even read the article? The law is called PACT, which stands for “Prevent All Cigarette Trafficking.” It has absolutely nothing to do with cannabis.

              Incidentally, you can also use vaporizers for CBD products, and there are no legal age requirements for CBD in many states.

                Do you not comprehend this can be used for stuff illegally for minors, so hence the need to sign to prove not a minor…?

                Tobacco/THC doesn’t matter, it can be used. Great you can use it for potpourri or cbd, doesn’t mean it’s not an implement to consume other products illegally if you’re underage.

                  So can cocktail shakers. So is there a need to sign for a cocktail shaker?

                  And, again, read the article. This is about tobacco. It’s very clear.

                    A cocktail shaker isn’t required to consume alcohol, while cannabis or tobacco need implements….

                    I’ve read the article, can you not understand that both are illegal for minors to consume, so going to head shop instead of a Tabacco shop isn’t suddenly going to make it legal to sell to minors dude……

                    Since it’s illegal for Tobacco that extends to other illegal stuff as well, not a hard concept to wrap around dude.

                    A vape is a tobacco product, it’s also a cannabis product, who thunk…….

                Your article makes clear that the amendment to the PACT Act makes it apply broadly.

                …"any electronic device that, through an aerosolized solution, delivers nicotine, flavor or any other substance to the user inhaling from the device.”

                The article is about how vendors are going to have a difficult time confirming to the new regulations.
