This is fantastic! See, it pays to contact our reps! Excellent work Qew! We'll keep an eye on that co-sponsor list to see if/when Rep. Mooney's name is added. I'm sure you have a letter of thanks in the works already.

The world's brightest beacons of freedom and hope are gone...

Once again England stands alone against the forces of darkness. Maybe down the road you guys will drop by to help us out like you did last time.

This is not my letter, I saw it on Facethingy. I was so happy to see something like it, I had to post it.

I see. I also see Rep. Mooney's name on the co-sponsor list (as of December 3, 2015).

Yes, I was afraid of that, I got excited. But he is still backing it, so I'm forgiving myself for not checking first.

 

[WillyZee]

I might send Mr. Mooney a bottle of Halo

He said as a result of receiving that constituent letter he was going to co-sponsor. That letter was from May 6, 2016. But he was a co-sponsor as of December 3, 2015. Hmmmm.

Facethingy

LOL! I don't do Facethingy. I think of it as TwoFacedbook.

I don't remember what I had for breakfast. And at least it wasn't a form letter.

I work in the high risk business lending industry. vape Shops are starting to get blacklisted. Ugh. Not all lenders have sent the update to guidelines but they are trickling in.

At the same time Colorado's dispensaries are slowly getting added to the "ok" list...

we need to blacklist the regulators and politicians who support these regs. Fight fire with fire.

What about Neil Young?

I'll see your Neil Young and raise with Gordon Lightfoot and Ian Tyson.

There was a discussion in the CASAA FB group about cc processors dropping vape shops, both b&m and online.

The FDA's Muscular Dystrophy Debacle Shows Trying To Speed Drug Approvals Up Can Slow Them Down

By law, the FDA’s communications with companies are considered privileged, and the FDA is limited in what it can say about those deliberations. This practice needs to end. If the FDA had raised its concerns publicly, patient advocates might have been angry. But patients and investors might have forced Sarepta to begin a study comparing eteplirsen to placebo. Instead, we’re in a situation where the early data may be insufficient, and a study that is being conducted may not be enough either. This is a disservice to the patients who volunteered for these studies and to the patients who need this drug if it is effective. Another, similar drug, BioMarin’s drisapersen, was also recently rejected by the FDA.

It’s long past time to remove the gag on the FDA about companies’ public statements. This may require FDA lawyers to be more aggressive, or it may require an act of Congress. But patients are being harmed by this lack of transparency. Dashing patients’ hopes like this is cruel. We need clear standards.

Not well.

The EU’s new rules for vapers: this is Brussels at its most petty and pointless | Spectator Health

"The failure of two legal challenges against the EU’s new Tobacco Products Directive means that a swarm of new regulations will come into effect from May 20. The new laws have all the hallmarks of the kind of unaccountable decision-making and bureaucratic excess that the European Commission has made its own."

BT and BP are operating globally - so their lobbyists have done a lot of doorknob polishing in Brussels too.

One EU-resident vaper actually asked - under the EU equivalent of the US Freedom of Information Act - for copies of the protocols of any backroom negotiations with BT reps. After several months and several reminders he finally got them. With pretty much everything but the page numbers blacked out. Ostensibly done so to prevent jeopardizing our ( the EU's) position with Japan...

Yeah, sure.

In some circles, EU HQ is called 'graft central'...

There is no reason for this. Vape products, today, are still perfectly legal and will be for at least 2 years from now.

They've always been at a disadvantage for credit card processing. None of the big processors (that I know of) will board them as it stands now. High risk processors will always be there. Which is pretty stupid because vaping is totally 100% legal nationally.

The 2 biggest things processors try to avoid is being part of an illegal transaction (colorado for example) or at risk for unrecoupable large charge backs (big ticket item sellers have a tough time getting a processor to approve them).

As long as vaping is legal then there will be a credit card processor available. Age restrictions and online transactions will likely spook a few more out of the industry though.
