I just think that we would be Better Served to Concentrate on the 3rd BTW in my Post. Then to push the Hype Needle into the Red with some of the Posts that have been made in this Thread.
I'm glad you are not the Final Arbiter of what is appropriate for discussion. Before you worry about what to do about the legislation, it doesn't hurt to discuss the implications so you know exactly what you are fighting about.
And BTW, you can LOL all you want about the idea of DIY being a criminal behavior or speculate if it would be prosecuted at all. But you are not now subjected to cigarette level taxes for your eLiquids. When that day arrives, and this bill is just preparatory work for that day,
then there is serious money involved and DIY becomes a significant form of tax evasion. Do you LOL about the idea of being prosecuted if caught with a backyard still? That is just a similar form of DIY, with similar levels of taxes as we can expect to see in the future. So I would not be too sure about that LOL.
Here is another example where I could see someone prosecuted, and the token fine would be the least of the problems...
1. You DIY up a batch of eLiquid and give it to your friend Joe.
2. Joe drips it into his Mech atty and his mech blows up, removing two front teeth and rearranging his face
3. Joe ends up on the evening news, the local rags, and the internet
4. You are mentioned as having given Joe (very illegal!) some DIY juice (double illegal!!!). The reporters have a field day with that, connecting your DIY juice with Joe's unfortunate accident.
And then DIY comes under extra special media attention, resulting in a bill submitted to the legislature to make DIY and eLiquid sharing (now a horribly evil activity, equal in heinousness to that stuff we can't talk about) a
felony. Of course, the legislature was going to make it a felony anyway, in conjunction with the upcoming $1/ml vape excise tax, but this was a gift from heaven so they'll run with it.
You will argue that to connect the two is total idiocy. I will argue that nothing in news reports of vape mod accidents is not idiotic, and it seems that journalists are in a race to greater idiocy. And you have to admit, it would make for great media sensationalism.
I would not want to be that guy. Not with that law and the current vape politics.
