California may ban flavored cannabis vapes due to concerns they attract youth. Vape pens have been very popular, but some states banned flavored tobacco and cannabis vapes. A new California law, AB-1639, would prohibit adding artificial flavors not found in cannabis to vape products. This would impact cannabis businesses and deprive users of flavors they enjoy, though its goal is to prevent youth use.

Will California Ban Flavored Cannabis Vapes?
The world of cannabis is de nitely quite di erent from where it used to be. This is both on the angle of state
governments as a number of states have legalized the use of cannabis recreationally despite the stance of the federal
government. This growing acceptance has also seen an increase and change in the ways people are using cannabis.

Unlike before we now have several innovative and exciting ways of consuming cannabis such as the use of vape pens,
cannabis edibles, tinctures, and topical creams. The impact of this has been immense for cannabis businesses and has
seen a considerable increase in the cannabis industry.
Impact of vape pens on the industry
The cannabis industry has since seen a good in ux of companies into the industry and this has been complemented by
an increase in sales of cannabis products. One of the new cannabis products that have helped many cannabis users to
enjoy the experience is cannabis vapes. Vape pens have largely been a revolutionary product in the cannabis industry as
a good number of cannabis users seem to prefer the use of vape pens as opposed to a regular joint or blunt. This is not
to take anything away from the joy of enjoying a regular joint or blunt but the convenience and comfortability that
comes with enjoying your cannabis using a blunt cannot be overlooked.
One additional quality that has helped improve the business and the acceptance of cannabis vapes across the cannabis
world has been the presence of special and unique avors that are added to improve the experience. Di erent types of
special and attractive avors have been added into cannabis avored vapes that help to open up the cannabis user to a
new kind of feel. The case of avored cannabis vapes has been somewhat of a two-edged sword lately as there has
been a sort of push back for the use of avored vapes in some states in the US.
Which states are against vape pens?
One state in particular where the people and especially the cannabis community seemed to be concerned about their
stance and law regarding avored cannabis vapes is California. Since the federal government still classi es cannabis as
a Schedule 1 narcotic drug, the onus still falls on the laws that guide states where cannabis is regarded as legal for
recreational and medical use to give operating conditions. The operating conditions as it stands presently regarding
avored cannabis vapes is that there is no outright ban yet, but it is only a matter of time. California is expected to
follow the footsteps of four other states where bans have been placed for avored products of cannabis and tobacco.
The other states include New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, and New York.

The move to ban these avored products is based on the premise that they are bound to attract the younger generation
to delve more into cannabis at an early age. Although these suggestions are not the purpose for which avors have
been added to cannabis vapes, the conditions still suggest that a ban is already in the works in California. The law in the
Golden state that moves to cement this ban is designated as AB-1639 which seeks to ban the use of avor additives in
cannabis vapes. A closer look into the law helps to paint a picture of how this new law a ects both the cannabis
businesses and cannabis users.
The law will greatly impact cannabis businesses in terms of the restrictions the law will place on how cannabis vape
products are made. The law seeks to prevent the addition of avors to cannabis vape products that are not naturally
occurring in the cannabis or other natural sources. The implication of this that all avors arti cially introduced to make
the cannabis experience more ful lling cannot be used except they are derived or synthesized from cannabis. It is
common knowledge to every cannabis user the large di erence that exists between the cannabis avors and the
arti cial avors introduced into avored cannabis vapes. This law ultimately denies a good number of cannabis users an
experience that many have come to love and enjoy. The expected ban on avored cannabis vapes removes the wide
array of wonderful avors that have beauti ed the cannabis world so much over the years.
How big of an impact will the ban have?
The impact of this law and the subsequent ban will be felt more by the cannabis businesses because the impact on an
economical scale is projected to be astronomical. The clampdown on the avored cannabis vapes ultimately puts
businesses in a di cult position when it comes to balancing the books. The law doesn’t compel outright closure. A stay
period of 90 days after the e ective date of AB-1693 is to be o ered for the business. The purpose of the 90 days is to
allow cannabis businesses time to sell produced products prior to the passing of the law. Now a period of 90 days
doesn’t fully account for the large number of avored cannabis vapes that such cannabis businesses have produced in
the expectation of a welcoming market. Unfortunately, this is to be the present state of things in the Golden state.
The loss of products on the shelves and the economic losses for the cannabis business alongside the deprivation being
felt by many cannabis users are the downsides of the ban on avored cannabis vapes. This law prohibits the
manufacture of avored cannabis vapes within the state reducing the might and possibly the workforce of many of
these companies. It must be stated once again that the reason for this clampdown on avored cannabis products is that

it gives a premise for many young ones to indulge in cannabis and tobacco early. These claims are far from the truth as
the reason for the avors are not solely for that. Flavored vapes are for those within the legal age of cannabis use and
for their enjoyment.
Bottom line
The situation as it is in California concerning avored cannabis vapes is not too good for many in the cannabis world.
However, the cannabis industry is growing day by day and with the increase in acceptance in di erent regions, it is
bound to keep on rising irrespective of what comes up. This isn't the rst time the cannabis industry will face adversity,
the industry always overcomes and bounce back even stronger.
