More like: One step forward, two steps back. :facepalm:

Yeah... We Shouldn't have to be in front of a Judge in the 1st Place. But I'll take Take this Step as a Sign we have a Chance.

Because a Judge won't issue an Injunction unless He/She feels there is a Reasonable Chance of winning a Full Ruling in the Future.

Ya know, I'm happy they got the TRO, but I literally just bought about 700 ml of retail juice on sale just to stock up before tomorrow's cutoff. Got about half of that from the local smoke shop I rarely use as the selection is meh and the prices high, but at half off and no tax, why not? Then I needed some stuff from MVS, and found they would still accept an order for juice today under tomorrow's enforcement deadline, so I threw some more juice in on sale from them. Now I've got freaking piles of retail juice just when I was ready to get back to DIY.

You all realize if I hadn't gotten those orders done and spent that money under the deadline today, that TRO would not have been granted, right?

    Thanks for taking one for the team. Your sacrifice is not in vane.

    I wonder if something can be done about flavored alcohols??? They are unneccesary ... all alcohols ( beer, wine, etc) should taste like EverClear... ;)

    EverClear is illegal in NY State. I have to buy the fancy expensive Rectified Spirits made in Poland instead. Great for cleaning all sorts of vape stuff, especially squonk bottles. It's actually higher proof than EverClear at ~190 proof. Anything higher is considered anhydrous lab grade as it's extremely hard to get that last little bit of water out of the alcohol.

    And it's great for punch for parties. Assuming you want everyone passed out.

    Everclear isn't banned in the state bro, unless its super recent.

    I buy it Upstate to make apple pie moonshine for my wife and kids (relax pantywadders, my kids are in there 30's). I believe whats sold up here is 190 proof.

    Maybe it's just NYC. Nobody has it here, and it was popular back in the day. Many states do ban the sale, so I figured it must be the whole state. Surprised if it's only NYC though.

    I'm upstate and have never heard this until now. Though, to be fair, I don't pay attention to alcohol stuff. Still figure I would have heard about it at some point but who knows.

    Have you looked in local ethnic food stores? Russian in particular? ;)

    This is hilarious. I can't believe it. It's finally happening.

    I'm walking down the blocks of NYC blowing clouds and people are scurrying away from me like I'm contagious.

    I love it.
    That's one way of fighting overcrowding! That is some funny ****! Vape on.

    Now I'm feel like going all rebel here. I feel like heading over to Central Park, sit down by the Band shell, start chucking clouds and see how long it takes for the Man to show up and write me a ticket.

    That's an excellent idea lol. People are ridiculous. I mean I understand my clouds can be "obnoxious" but on the other hand a homeless man was walking by me covering his nose. If you seen this dude, you can tell he's been sniffing blow for 30 years, and he's worried about a little vapor.
