Being a pothead in 2020 is complicated. Sure, getting high is great, but there are thousands of weed companies selling flower, edibles, sprays, and tinctures. There are hundreds of extract companies selling waxes, shatter, budder, and sauce. At this point, thousands of manufacturers also produce cannabis vape oils, cartridges, dry herb vapes — some that actually look like spaceships — and handheld dabbing vaporizers. 

How the hell are people supposed to know what to consume when products hit the market at the same rate Forever 21 and H&M churn out new styles? It’s impossible to keep up. Also, how does one even consume products like rosin or wax, and does it always require a blowtorch? How do you know if a vape is safe?

If you’ve ever asked yourself these questions or found yourself overwhelmed and confused about what products to consume — you’re not alone. Even well-versed stoners find themselves in the same position, particularly when it comes to the spectrum of vaporizers on the market. From pens you buy in dispensaries to dry herb vapes to portable vaporizer dab rigs, the vaping sector of the cannabis industry offers a host of distinct experiences. Not only can you vape cannabis oil, but you can also vape nugs and concentrates. Neat, right?

After tons of research, we finally determined what companies offer the best vaporizing products on the market and broke it down into a digestible list. Because, ultimately, we’re not doing our job unless we’re giving you the details on how to live your best, most elevated life. So, we hope this accomplishes just that. 

Enjoy!

Extreme Q by Arizer:

The Extreme Q is a desktop dry herb vaporizer from outer space. Ok, just kidding — it was made on Earth. But, the futuristic vaporizer is well designed and user friendly to simplify your vaping experience. It’s also extremely easy to clean and sanitize.  

The best part is the Extreme Q’s custom session settings. The ceramic heating warms up fast, you can choose what temp you want to burn your flower at, and it comes with a remote control. The quality is stellar, too, and at half of the price of competing desktop vaporizers. What more can you ask for?

ArGo by Arizer:

Go to the next level of portability with the ArGo handheld dry herb vaporizer. Made by the same people who designed the Extreme Q desktop vaporizer, the ArGo is unparalleled in style, quality, and convenience.

Vaping cannabis oil is not for everyone. Taking big hits out of a bag isn’t either. That’s why the compact ArGo vape is a dream come true: it’s versatile and you can take it pretty much anywhere. You don’t have to roll joints or bring a pipe and lighter with you when you go out. You can easily pack this nifty tool in a bag and be on your way. 

Plus, dry herb vaping is arguably the safest method of consumption because you don’t inhale nearly the amount of plant-matter you would while smoking a joint or hitting a bong. Why not get stoned the healthy way?

It makes sense the Oura rocks. KandyPens is among the go-to brands for vaporizers, especially when it comes to smoking concentrates. The products they manufacture represent the highest level of vaporization in the business. That’s one of the reasons why connoisseurs turn to KandyPens for premium products: Because they yield superior vapor performance every damn time.

In fact, this little pen packs a large chamber that makes loading and cleaning a breeze; and a set of concentrate pads that lets you use extracts and herb at the same time. Oh, and did we mention that you can eat your already vaped bud after a session? 

It’s this painstaking attention to detail that has led us to where we are today. Life is difficult and expensive as it is — but your vaporizer doesn’t have to be.

How To Stop Overthinking Everything

CBD And Blood Flow: What The Brain Wants You To Know

A new study published in the Journal of Psychopharmacology found something remarkable about cannabidiol’s effect on blood flow and memory.

New Jersey, South Dakota, and Arizona will all vote on legalizing adult-use cannabis in November’s general election, and now Montana has officially joined their ranks.

This past Thursday, the Montana secretary of state announced that two ballot measures to legalize taxed and regulated adult-use cannabis sales will appear on this year’s election ballot. While most other states can legalize weed via a single ballot initiative, the Treasure State’s complicated laws required campaigners to submit two separate measures: A statutory change allowing taxed and regulated weed sales, and a constitutional amendment prohibiting anyone under 21 from buying weed.

If the two measures pass, adults over 21 will be able to buy limited amounts of weed at state-licensed retailers. The two separate measures create a unique twist, though. If voters were to approve the legalization measure but not the constitutional age limit, then anyone 18 or older would be allowed to buy weed. 

The legalization measure would direct the state Department of Revenue to handle licensing and regulation for the legal weed industry. The department would be required to start the business licensing process by October 1 of next year. The proposal also includes provisions allowing anyone that is currently doing time for minor weed crimes to apply for resentencing. 

If the measure passes, sales will be taxed at 20 percent, and most of this tax revenue will be divided among funding for substance abuse programs, veterans’ services, health care, and conservation programs. The state’s general fund will collect 10.5 percent of this revenue, and municipalities that allow weed sales will also get a cut. The state predicts that legal weed sales could bring in $3.5 million in tax revenue by 2022, a figure that could grow to $38.5 million by 2025.

“This is great news for Montana voters who will now have the opportunity to enact a marijuana legalization policy that will create jobs, generate revenue and allow law enforcement to focus on real crime,” said Matthew Schweich, deputy director of the Marijuana Policy Project, to Marijuana Moment. “New Approach Montana’s signature drive was one of the most innovative ever seen, and its success is a testament to the strong existing support among Montana voters for marijuana policy reform.”

New Approach Montana, the campaign behind the initiative, began collecting signatures for their petition early this year. The COVID-19 pandemic made door-to-door signature collection impossible, however, and the group sued the state for the right to collect signatures electronically. The request was denied, and the group had to suspend their efforts until the state began to re-open in May. Despite the challenges, campaigners kicked their efforts into high gear, and managed to collect enough signatures to qualify for the ballot before the deadline ran out.

“Our research has always shown that a majority of Montanans support legalization, and now voters will have the opportunity to enact that policy, which will create jobs and generate new revenue for our state,” said Pepper Petersen, spokesperson for New Approach Montana, to Marijuana Moment. “It also means that law enforcement will stop wasting time and resources arresting adults for personal marijuana possession, and instead focus on real crime.”

There are several other major drug reform initiatives coming up for a vote this fall. Oregon will vote on decriminalizing all drugs and legalizing psilocybin-assisted therapy, and Washington DC will vote on decriminalizing all natural psychedelics. Mississippi and Nebraska will also vote on legalizing medical marijuana.
