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/

    Why? Because the US congress is a joke, the law would need to be amended, some Jhole is going to put some other legislation with it, or turn it into a crusade so it doesn’t pass. This works.

    It’s a nicotine product, done.

        Can a kid go into a headshop and buy one? Bongs can get there too if it’s an issue, but you don’t see many people hitting bongs on the street, while anyone can “discretely” use a vape and you don’t know what it is, and that can also be another issue.

          A kid can’t go into a head shop and buy a vaporizer either. Because kids can’t go into head shops. This isn’t about head shops. This is about ordering things over the internet. If you order a cannabis vaporizer online, which is less common to imbibe weed with and generally more expensive, you have to sign for it when it’s delivered. If you order a bong or a pipe online, you don’t. That makes zero sense.

            Because one can be used on the street where it’s illegal to use nicotine and cannabis, while the other is painfully obvious you are breaking federal law if you were to do so.

            Vaping makes it easier to smoke illegally in public, nicotine and cannabis. And now it’s also getting in the hands of minors where they can do both in public and no one would know. Thats the fucking problem. It’s illegal to smoke in public, now minors are involved.

            But officer it’s legal CBD! It’s illegal to smoke in public!!!

              So you’re saying this stops kids from using cannabis on the street (despite the fact that cannabis vaporizers also smell) but in no other way stops them using it? What’s the point of that? They just go use it in the park anyway.

                Oil vapes smell like anything you want, lots of dry herb vapes can do both, so that’s not even an argument.

                  You responded to a tiny part of my overall post which wasn’t especially relevant. That is very dishonest. Please respond to the rest. I will repost it without that part since you have addressed it (not to my satisfaction, but we won’t go into that):
