Is there anything to salvage, or should I move on? B. Major Dear B. Major: Move on, and don’t stop at the empty ones. I don’t like vape cartridges unless the setting demands them. The high isn’t the same as smoking weed or taking dabs, and waste from cartridges and lithium batteries is bad for the environment. But as much as vape cartridges annoy me, disposables are a much bigger scourge on the planet. Each time you buy a disposable, that’s more plastic and another lithium battery in the landfi ll. So many disposable vapes are piling up in California that the state might ban them. Sure, most of that trash is from nicotine vapes, but it’s all the same hardware. I cannot deny the convenience of a dis- posable vape, but please consider a differ- ent toking option...after checking if those unclogged leftovers you have were built with a charging port, of course. No sense in wasting a few fi nal rips. Dear Stoner: The dispensary I go to for wax makes me leave with a warning fl ier about THC every time I make a purchase, no mat- ter how many times I’ve been in there. The budtenders say it’s a state requirement and they have to do it. Is that true? Travis Dear Travis: Kinda. The pamphlets stem from a 2021 law intended to curb daily concen- trate sales and medical marijuana access in Colorado. Part of the law also called on the state to keep a closer eye on the public health impact of potent cannabis products and for dispensaries to hand out information detail- ing the potential health risks of consuming concentrated THC — but only to customers purchasing extracted products intended for smoking or vaping. There was a lot of confusion among dis- pensary owners when the fl iers debuted, with most of their frustration centered on having to pay for them and the waste all of that paper caused. The state later clarifi ed that customers don’t have to carry out a fl ier with every purchase, and that dispensaries could meet the requirement by providing the pamphlets at the point of sale and directing purchasers to the resource. But stores can still institute their own policies, and it sounds like yours is playing it safe. Send questions to [email protected] WARNING: Use of Marijuana Concentrate may lead to: 1.
