Berkeley City Council's Proposed e-Cigarette Ban May Include Cannabis Vaporizers

Posted by Jon W on July 02, 2014.

Dale Gieringer of California NORML passed along this important message:

"The Berkeley City Council will be hearing an ordinance restricting the use of e-cigarettes this July 8th.  Cal NORML is concerned that e-cigs are defined in such a way as to include cannabis vaporizers. The proposal would disallow use of e-cigs wherever smoking is banned, with the exception of apartment units.

The city's report fails to recognize the health benefits of vaporizers for medical marijuana patients, or for tobacco smokers in general.  Attached is our testimony.

Advocates for vaporization are encouraged to make their views known to the city."
