Hmmm... it's been a minute, or a few years since I was active on this forum. Stocked up everything for Vapocalypse 2016 and kinda lost keeping in touch with the up-to-the-minute narrative, since I've just kept adding cool new things to vaping pile for the last 5 years ... but oddly enough, I've mostly remained idled out in Dicodes & Svoemesto and found nothing earth-shattering to change my daily drivers.
So... within the past decade vaping has successfully been driven underground or to junk at gas stations similar to the blu e-cigs I started with back in 2009 (but loaded with nic salt); recreational or medical cannabis is legal nearly everywhere, jurisdiction by jurisdiction psychedelic drugs are being decriminalized, the glorious Nixon administration's "war on drugs" seems to be drawing to a close altogether, and publicly listed companies on NASDAQ whose stock I'm quite happy to own are running clinical trials on candyflipping (Does doing ... + .... make you less depressed? Anecdotal observations say: it sure does, plus, it's fun).
Everything is allowed except for vaping nic? Wow, go figure. Cigarette companies, lobbyists, and tobacco bonds seem to be the (un)holy trifecta for controlling the highest level of organized crime (government).
It'll be interesting to see what the next decade brings.
Vaping has been over and about to get banned/driven underground ever since we started, I guess it's finally -- almost -- happened. Perhaps most interesting, the few vape shops I visit in person seem to be entirely unaware of their predicament, except for flavor bans.
I used to vape mostly tobacco flavors, but ever since they've been banned I've discovered that I like being able to DIY Ice Cream Cookies with Cherry Swirls. F--k the police state.
Happy Apocalypse to all my old friends I see in this thread, and may the Force be with Us (a few decades of frozen nic and 100s of mods doesn't hurt either).
Cheers!
