Medical Marijuana patients in Colorado need to be aware of the goings on in the government as it could adversely impact your Colorado Constitutionally protected rights to Medical marijuana.

The key graph from Medical Marijuana and Driving: A Policy Memo to Colorado Legislators from the Huffington Post:

In May, the Colorado legislature failed to pass House Bill 1261, which would have created a “per-se” limit of 5 nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood, similar to the 0.08 limit which currently exists for blood alcohol content (BAC). While supporters deemed such a limit a necessity, opponents were not convinced by the evidence presented that 5 ng/ml was an appropriate limit, and called for more research on the subject.

You don’t need some committee all hopped up on caffeine, donuts, and nicotine to tell you that.

The Colorado Commission on Criminal and Juvenile Justice is tasked with studying the issue of THC and marijuana impaired driving.

In a recent session they discussed proposals for a potential new law.

The key graph from the Denver post:

The drug-policy subcommittee is likely to decide next month what approach — if any — to recommend to the full justice commission, which would make a decision on its recommendation to lawmakers probably by November.

A Smoking Substitute

E-cigs are looked at as a smoking alternative because they don’t burn tobacco, they don’t smell, and they don’t need a light. People sitting near you will say, “It Looks like a cigarette”, you’ll say, “it feels and tastes like a cigarette.” But it’s not a cigarette. Here’s how E-cigarettes work:

An electronic cigarette, or e-cigarette, is an electrical device that attempts to simulate the act of tobacco smoking by producing an inhaled mist bearing the physical sensation, appearance, and often the flavor and nicotine content of inhaled tobacco smoke. The device uses heat, or in some cases ultrasonics, to vaporize a propylene glycol or glycerin-based liquid solution into an aerosol mist, similar to the way a nebulizer or humidifier vaporizes solutions for inhalation.

Smokeless Cigarettes

How E-Cigs work
is very similar to the MMJ Vaporizer. E-cigarettes typically consist of a cartridge, an atomizer, and a battery unit. The battery powers the unit, and is typically a rechargeable lithium ion variety. The atomizer, the heart of the system, heats the liquid solution, without burning, into “steam” which can then be inhaled. The cartridge contains your choice of flavor, and a nicotine solution with propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin. Inhale and exhale vapor, not smoke. Higher quality e-cigarettes will combine the cartridge and atomizer into a single unit nicknamed “cartomizer”.

Cigarette Alternative

Tobacco products can be used in many different ways. You probably already chew tobacco, smoke pipes, or wear nicotine patches. Smokeless cigarettes are preferred by many as a cigarette substitute because of the physical sensation (which is as addicting as the nicotine), the social interaction, and the freedom of not having to worry about bothering others.

E-cigarettes may vary well be the best way to enjoy a smoke. With most brands, you’ll save money over traditional cigarettes, smoke in relative peace, smoke without disturbing your friends and neighbors, and have better control over your nicotine habit than with raditional cigarettes.

What are E-Cigarettes? E-cigs typically consist of a cartridge, an atomizer, and a battery unit. The battery powers the unit, and is typically a rechargeable lithium ion variety.

The atomizer, the heart of the system, heats the liquid solution, without burning, into “steam” which can then be inhaled.

The cartridge contains your choice of flavor, and a nicotine solution of propylene glycol and vegetable glycerin.

Some manufacturers combine the atomizer and cartridge into a single unit nicknamed, “cartomizer”. The combined unit provides two benefits, less parts to fuss with, and a fresh atomizer for each unit.

Once the unit is assembled, simply turn the unit on (or in the case of higher quality units, the system will turn on automatically with each inhale) and inhale vapor. No smoke with this smoking substitute, which makes it one of the more popular cigarette substitutes.

The main feature that makes e-cigarettes one of the more popular cigarette alternatives is the ability to adjust nicotine levels. Some units require that you fill the cartridge while others (especially those with cartomizers) let you buy pre-filled and controlled nicotine levels.
