If not specifically prohibited, everyone else in the building has to breathe the smoke. Contact ANR for sample policy language. A challenge for marijuana regulation is to identify appropriate places for use of the product. The question to ask is: how will allowing marijuana smoking affect other people? Do people work or volunteer there? Will non-users be exposed to secondhand marijuana smoke or thirdhand smoke residue?
Will marijuana smoke drift into neighboring businesses or property? Expect marijuana industry proponents to come forward with new loosely defined terms not addressed by current smokefree laws. The huge amount of money to be made by this new industry is hard for policy makers, states, communities, and organizations to resist. Yet this money comes with strings attached.
The tobacco industry tactic of proposing ventilation systems to solve the secondhand smoke problem is being dusted off and promoted by the marijuana industry. As has been proven time and time again, ventilation does not eliminate all the poisonous toxins and chemical components of secondhand smoke.
The science is clear. Ventilation systems or air cleaning technologies may reduce odor, but they do not address the serious health risks caused by secondhand smoke exposure.
Research is showing that negative health impacts, especially to the cardiovascular system, occur quickly even at extremely low levels of exposure to secondhand marijuana smoke. The Board of Directors for the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers ASHRAE , the international standard-setting body for indoor air quality, unanimously adopted an important position statement on secondhand tobacco smoke at its summer conference.
To achieve this goal, the industry will advance legislation for regulating marijuana just like alcohol and not like tobacco. Colorado voters legalized recreational marijuana in Measure allows for vaping and consuming edibles indoors and allows for smoking outdoors, provided it is out of sight. Marijuana consumption sites need to be 1, feet from licensed child care centers, alcohol and drug treatment centers, and establishments that cater to children like city recreation centers.
Marijuana industry backed legislation has been introduced each year in Colorado for public marijuana consumption sites statewide. Local communities in Colorado have been strengthening, not weakening, their smokefree protections by adding electronic smoking devices and marijuana smoke to their local laws. Marijuana industry backed bills would seek to reverse that trend for the state by increasing the number of places where smoking and vaping may occur.
Because Colorado has an exemption in its state smokefree workplace law to allow smoking in small businesses with three or fewer employees and the law does not prohibit the use of electronic smoking devices, the marijuana industry is seeking to pass legislation that would allow marijuana smoking in such workplaces by taking advantage of these exemptions. There is great concern that marijuana consumption businesses will intentionally keep staff count low to allow indoor smoking.
It will give them a reason to be suspicious you are smoking while driving. Joints and blunts, despite the pronounced admiration of Afro-Man, may not be the most efficient way to smoke. If you are trying to conserve weed, your best bet is probably a vape. You get a lot of hits for a small amount of weed, and also, even when your weed has been thoroughly vaped, you can still use the burned bud left over to smoke Consider the dab -- a somewhat recent phenomenon that is essentially a mega-hit of THC in hash-oil form.
It comes in a wax , or shatter kind of looks like amber , and is made by running solvents through potent buds, then letting the solvents cool and harden.
You can smoke it with either a vape pen, or a bong-esque rig that requires blow-torch, butane flames, or other heavy-duty lighters seriously. That's why we sell edibles, too. As this scene in There's Something About Mary taught us, cleaning the pipes before a big date is a necessity.
Cleaning your weed pipe: just as important. Armstrong's got it down to a science: "People over-think cleaning. That's all I use. Let your piece soak for a while in the alcohol and rinse it off with hot water.
If you're working with a bong, and it's really bad, fill the base with a bit of alcohol and some table salt.
This will help break some of the resin loose. Shake it carefully, I've broken a couple paychecks' worth of glass just from this step , rinse with hot water give it a shake here too and repeat.
You can reuse the alcohol for a couple of rinses. THC is absorbed through your stomach, and metabolized when you eat it, so it takes a little longer to kick in from 30 minutes to two hours, depending on the individual. Close the menu. Rolling Stone.

When you light a joint or a bowl, the combustion sets off a chemical cascade that, when inhaled, can act as an irritant or trigger for inflammation in your lungs. Over time, this can lead to chronic bronchitis. That creates irritation in your breathing tubes, which leads to mucus production, which lands smokers with a cough though no shortness of breath.
Just as bad, if not worse, is ripping a cannabis oil vape pen. The issue: The majority of portable pens cause molecules to combust, not vaporize. That means all of the above concerns apply to the pens. However, Dr. Patel says the inflammation damaging your lung cells and cough is enough to make you more susceptible to catching COVID And if you do catch it, it could increase the severity of the infection.
