Cannabis Inhaler The World’s First

We Joke About It In The 80s The World’s First Cannabis Inhaler 

We Joke About It In The 80s and now behold the Cannabis Inhaler Cannabis consumption methods are evolving. Not only are the numbers of cannabis supporters going up, but creative innovators around the globe are developing new ideas left and right. From vaporizers to wax, there are now many ways to get high. If you thought you’ve seen it all, though, think again. Now the world has the first-ever cannabis inhaler that goes by the name of Vapen Clear, and there’s nothing else like it. The Vapen Clear looks exactly like your typical inhaler. It acts the same too, but without the albuterol. The Vapen Clear releases the good stuff, aka THC. It packs a powerful 10mg expenditure per puff, which equals to 100 total puffs per cartridge. Unlike your standard vaporizer pen, the Vapen Clear doesn’t heat the THC. Rather, it uses a propellant to blast the medicine directly inside your lungs. Not only is the Vapen Clear the first of its kind, but it also comes in three different designs based on your favorite strain. For example, the “Daytime” inhaler comes with THC from a Sativa strain, because a Sativa produces energy. In like manner, there is the “Nighttime” inhaler that comes with an indica strain to provide a more mellow and chill effect. Then there’s the “Afternoon” inhaler, which provides a steady buzz from a hybrid of the two. The Vapen Clear inhaler comes with its own unique benefits. One of them is its discreetness. When people see an inhaler, they think asthma, not cannabis. Therefore, the chances of someone accusing you of medicating are slim. While many cannabis consumption methods leave a strong odor behind, the Vapen Clear has virtually no smell. Again, the product doesn’t heat the oil, unlike other vaporizers. Speaking of handy, the size of the Vapen Clear inhaler is another plus. In fact, it’s so small that you can carry it with you wherever you go. Whether you slide it into your pocket or drop it into your purse, it’s easy to take. Not to mention, you don’t have to worry about lugging batteries and lighters along with it. So if you are a cannabis connoisseur who stays on-the-go, this product is perfect for you. At present, the Vapen Clear inhaler is only available in Arizona at select centers. If you happen to be an Arizona resident or plan on making the trip, you can find a store using their website’s map. However, if you want one but cannot get it just yet, not to worry. Soon, However, if you want one but cannot get it just yet, not to worry. Soon, Vapen products will be available in California, Colorado, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.

Fighting For Cannabis-Based Medicine

AVA BARRY HAS Dravet syndrome, an extremely rare, drug-resistant form of epilepsy

The six-year-old suffers from several seizures every day, many of them violent. Several types of pharmaceutical medication have failed to improve her condition and she frequently has to spend time in hospital.

Her parents Vera Twomey and Paul Barry believe there is one thing that can help her: cannabidiol (CBD) oil, a form of medicinal marijuana.

Earlier this year, doctors told them they have run out of pharmaceutical options, but could try some of the failed medicines again in different formats.

In response, they set up an online petition calling for CBD oil to be legalised in Ireland. It is available in some countries and certain states in the US.

The petition, which had over 11,600 signatures at the time of publication, will be sent to Health Minister Simon Harris. A previous version was intended for his predecessor Leo Varadkar.

Dravet syndrome is extremely rare, affecting about one in 20,000 births, and causes regular and prolonged seizures.

When Ava was diagnosed her parents were told she would not walk or talk, but she has defied the odds in this regard and now attends school. However, her condition means she regularly misses days.

“At the moment, if we got Ava to go to school two days a week you’d be concerned she’d not be able to do three, we’re thrilled if she does three. Last year she got to school five days a week just twice.

“I can’t tell you, how badly she wants to go to school, how annoyed she is at me when she can’t go,”
It’s not uncommon for Ava to have up to 12 tonic-clonic seizures a day, where she falls to the floor and shakes violently.

Vera says she also often gets 100 or more ‘absences’ a day and myoclonic jerks, like the jerks people sometimes get before falling asleep.

“They’ve never gone away. We’re still struggling, she’s still having seizures. She’s still going through an awful lot. I’m still very, very worried about her that she might not come out of one of the seizures.

Vera is in contact with a number of parents in other countries whose children have a much better quality of life since they got access to CBD oil.

She says she is aware of one girl from the US whose seizures have reduced from about 300 a month to just three.

Marijuana Candy A New Look To Avoid Confusion

Does my brownie contain weed? Colorado has you covered

A requirement that edible marijuana products come with a diamond-shaped stamp and the letters T-H-C not just on the packaging but on the brownies, candies and other edibles themselves takes effect Saturday.

The rule referencing marijuana’s psychoactive ingredient was added after complaints that the treats look too much their non-intoxicating counterparts. It is the first such requirement in any legal weed state.

Colorado’s new “universal symbol” for foods that contain marijuana is designed to give the treats a distinct look even after they’re out of the packaging. In other words, a pot cookie being passed around a high school cafeteria no longer will look so innocent, giving parents a way to identify marijuana edibles without smelling or tasting them.

The stamping requirement comes in addition to exhaustive labeling and packaging rules that include childproof zippers and lids, along with warnings that the product should be kept away from children and not eaten before driving or while pregnant or nursing.

“We want to ensure that people genuinely know the difference between a Duncan Hines brownie and a marijuana brownie, just by looking at it,” said state Rep. Jonathan Singer, a Democrat who sponsored the law requiring stamped edibles.

There are no numbers in Colorado or any marijuana state on how many children or adults accidentally eat pot. But a 2016 study tracing admissions at Children’s Hospital Colorado just outside Denver found that more kids were treated for accidental pot ingestion after legalization, from 1.2 per 100,000 population two years prior to legalization to 2.3 per 100,000 population two years after legalization.

Marijuana ingestions remained relatively rare, though, with the hospital reporting 81 children treated for accidental pot ingestion between 2009 and 2015. Authors noted that “poor child supervision or product storage” was present in about a third of those cases.

Still, reported accidental ingestions caught lawmakers’ attention. The law was passed more than a year ago but is just now taking effect because of difficulties implementing it. None of the other legal weed states has considered a universal symbol requirement for marijuana products themselves, as opposed to the packaging.

Candies and baked goods may be simple to stamp, but the label requirement gets a lot trickier for bulk items such as granola, or marijuana-infused sodas or powders that can be dissolved in water. The state ultimately settled on new packaging rules for those impossible to stamp items, requiring that sodas come in small single-serve bottles, for example.

Colorado also requires that edible packages contain the phrase, “Keep out of reach of children.”

At BlueKudu, which makes marijuana-infused chocolates, owners had to buy new molds for a line of candy bars that include flavors like mint chocolate, toffee almond and coffee crunch.

Company founder Andrew Schrot said that when he started his company in 2011 for medical marijuana customers, his pot treats looked like any other chocolate bars. But he said the switch to a recreational market in which new marijuana users were trying his products necessitated change.

“This is not your normal chocolate bar. There’s something different about it. You can tell just from looking at it,” Schrot said.

Colorado’s marijuana industry initially was hesitant about the change, pointing out in regulatory meetings that alcohol makers aren’t required to dye their drinks funny colors to make sure parents don’t let kids get ahold of the booze.

“Some of the industry expectation was, ‘Let’s keep it on the parents and the users in keeping it away from children or people who shouldn’t use it,'” Schrot said. “But you know, sometimes mistakes happen. You turn your back and a product is left out.”

Colorado has no estimate of how many accidental ingestions might be avoided by the stamping. Starting next year, the state also will ban any edible marijuana products in the shape of a fruit, animal or human in addition to existing bans on the use of cartoon characters on packages or other images deemed attractive to kids.

“It’s really a step in enhancing public safety and making sure that marijuana is out of the hands of children,” said Ron Kammerzell, head of enforcement for the state Marijuana Enforcement Division.

Price Of Pot Is Tumbling

Price Of Pot Is Tumbling People Walk Away With More Money

Price Of Pot Is Tumbling Colorado's weed is getting much cheaper people walk away with more money. In October, the cost of a wholesale pound of cannabis was around $2,400 to $2,600. That price has almost been cut in half to between $1,400 and $1,600 last month, according to data from Tradiv, an online marijuana-distribution platform "In less than a year, we've seen wholesale prices drop to nearly half of their previous totals," John Manlove, director of sales at Tradiv, told Business Insider in an email. "We've never seen prices like this." The reason prices are dropping so rapidly is because the market's getting flooded. As growers ramp up production, the huge amount of marijuana hitting the market in Colorado is causing a "steady decline" in wholesale prices regardless of demand, says Manlove. The story's similar for Washington, where the price of legal marijuana has dropped precipitously since the first recreational dispensaries opened, according to The Cannabist. Wherever there's a legal market for marijuana, prices have been dropping. Manlove says that this has to do with the way cities in Colorado, like Denver, regulate the recreational marijuana market In May, Denver's municipal government extended a moratorium on granting licenses to new retail dispensaries as well as marijuana cultivation facilities. This has allowed a "minority of large cannabis business owners" to buy and consolidate the remaining licenses, says Manlove. And without strict "canopy limits" the number of plants one facility can grow the influx of marijuana into the Colorado market will continue to cause prices to drop, says Manlove. So, Colorado growers, with few limits and access to a huge market, are able to build an economy of scale, reducing prices across the board. Though low prices are good news for consumers, cultivators will have to cope with lower profit margins on raw marijuana flowers. According to Headset, a cannabis-intelligence platform, the highest-margin products for dispensaries are those that make marijuana easier to consume, like edibles, beverages, and pre-rolled joints.recreationally. Dispensaries and compassion clubs are also not authorized to sell marijuana and remain illegal under the new laws.
