What is this? Some sort of ‘protect the children because they’re totally not using apples and soda cans’ bullshit?

Why is this in any way necessary or even useful?

Edit: Just discovered this was about tobacco, making this even stupider since this product isn’t for tobacco, it’s for cannabis. https://dclcorp.com/blog/news/pact-act-impacts-vape-industry/

    Are you seriously complaining about requiring a signature? Why should weed paraphernalia be treated any differently to tobacco?

      Since it requires me to be at home when I’ve never had to for this before? Yes.

      And it should be treated differently because the law is about tobacco. if they want to make it about weed, they should specify that.

        I think you may be forgetting that weed is illegal, federally. The product you’re buying is for tobacco – officially – because if it weren’t it would be a federal crime to ship it across state borders.

            But it doesn’t contain tobacco (at the time of delivery) and isn’t electronic.

                  I think I’d know whether or not the thing I bought was electronic. Especially since it was a replacement for the same thing which I bought once before.

                    I understand that. As you can see by the other comment I left, I think it’s just an oversight in the law.
