MA Vape Ban = Helping NH Business?

Massachusetts is still stuck in a 4-month ban of nicotine juices as well as legal vape cartridges. This has brought a lot of attention to us, New Hampshire the granite neighbor to the north. With New Hampshire’s (moderately) relaxed policies on vape juice, it has appeared many small business owners have capitalized on what Massachusetts is now missing out on.

With the vaping ban on legal THC cartridges throughout MA (with the exception of medical vape pens) many have been affected. Small MA businesses have taken the largest hit with speculation that the state will continue with its ban even after the 4 months period is up.

This hasn’t just hurt MA businesses, this has also hurts MA consumers.

The health issues stem from black market THC cartridges. Ineffective extraction methods from illegitimate sellers creates questionable and overlooked properties. These properties can lead to health risks. Where a legitimate product goes through strenuous 3^rd party testing, no such testing can be found from a cartridge seller operating out of their garage.

The vape ban has taken away the “safe” products and has increased the black market tremendously. This has been an issue for New Hampshire citizens considering the state has never established a legitimate and safe marketplace for cannabis.
