E-cigarettes: police looking into potential drug abuse in Palm Beach County

[BuGlen]

Another story about how a law enforcement agency is addressing a misuse of e-cigs with illegal substances. Of course, they fail to understand that stoners always find a way to use, even if they have to use an apple core and tin foil to get the job done.

The Palm Beach County Police should also be on the lookout for kids walking around carrying soda bottles. I've heard that you can pour alcoholic beverages into such bottles!

Guess they'll have to ban fruit too!

Me thinks... the only way to keep kids from doing the things they do is to ban the kids I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Heaven forbid they should concentrate on eliminating those who supply the illegals...

Why is this even a story? And why didn't they report that vaporizers already exist specifically for vaporizing material? Another reporter & production staff that didn't do their homework - or did and just left that part out. The issue is with the material, not what devices are used to consume it.

Edit: And I think ecig batteries are an expensive way to consume such material.

Nail, head
I hear it's all the rage to go 'bling' in Derpsville though, maybe it's catching on

Won't work - as long as there is a demand for something - there will be a supply. Basic rule of economics

Not to mention that the US and a large portion of the world economy runs on drugmoney. There are even rumours that the CIA is in control of the drugtrade.

Can somebody enlighten me? I thought the coils weren't hot enough to vaporize the ehm... stuff?

It's that bad then? Okay, tried to send you a PM but got this: "xpl0it has chosen not to receive private messages or may not be allowed to receive private messages." Feel free to PM me

Now they're gonna use that typical disjointed "logic" that they always use to define a problem: E-cigarettes make inhalable vapor, someone infused this vapor with drugs, therefore E-cigarettes are just as harmful, or more harmful, than regular tobacco cigarettes. The sad thing is, there are people who would find no problems with the previous statement. I'll spare the lesson in basic logical syllogisms, but if this reasoning is expanded outward over whole populations, whole societies, in the vein of Kant's Categorical Imperative, we can just as easily say things like, Apples can be used as pipes, somebody smoked something other than tobacco out of this apple, therefore apples are a dangerous and addictive, illegal drug. Or how 'bout, out in the middle of that protected state forest over there, somebody planted some weed, let it grow, harvested it, and sold it illegally... therefore state forests and parks are accessories to drug abuse. I could go on and on...
