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/

      I don’t think so. A law specifically stopping porch pirates from stealing vaporizers?

        I mean, if enough vaporizers have to be re-shipped because they were stolen before they’re received, yes, of course. You’re not going to expect to pay a second time for something you never received. The insurance company (I assume this is medical use?) or the supplier doesn’t want to pay a second time. Of course they’re going to make you sign. It’s not a law to stop porch pirates, it’s a law to reduce costs.

            Well, yes, now that OP quit dancing around his vape pen use and provided a source, I see that.

          It’s not a medical vaporizer but yes, it is for medical use. The ‘certain substance’ is definitely the issue here considering the stupid drug war.

            It’s a product for over 18/21 would you be mad for signing for alcohol?

              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.

              I was fine saying weed in the body, I just thought it was best avoided in the headline.

            Ok, buddy. There’s not any indication that’s even a law and not just policy from the company selling the device.

              “Recent regulations” means law. Companies don’t call their own policies regulations, they call them policies.

                That doesn’t mean the law says signatures are required. It could only be how the company chose to respond to the law. Got a citation?

                    Take off your tinfoil hat. Maybe set down the vape. Lying? I was responding to incomplete information. Not everything’s a conspiracy. This is an old law now being applied to new technology. Nothing infuriating about it.
