So figured I'd vent here, our lovely government has pushed ahead with their vape ban. I have no problem with this however, as someone on medical cannabis, they have included dry herb vapes in this. What this means for existing businesses is as of midnight tonight they have to stop selling. I have stocked up on things as much as I can.

The issue ahead is they want pharmacies to sell the products. First issue is only 2 currently have tga approvals. Starting at around $400 each. Second issue is no pharmacies want a bar of this. They were never consulted on any of these plans.

So if mine breaks or anything goes wrong I have to either upgrade for a few hundred bucks and find a pharmacy that is selling. Also if any parts break I doubt I'll be able to get them with these new laws. It will either be pray I can find them or upgrade and hope.

The first thing that has my mental health slightly in check is now going to be ****ed over all because this government are absolute cowards and don't want to address the actual problem. The problem being dodgy tobacconists selling tobacco products to kids.

So yeah **** Labor. Never again.

Many tobacconist places get torched other than down here I swear it’s at least 3 a week in Melbourne. Now if you own commercial property insurers won’t cover you. Apparently bikie related

From what I've seen it's Lebo bikies trying to take control of the black market

Feel for you Dj. I've got a friend who's a pharmacist and they are right off the proposal like you said. Crazy to try put this in the hands of people who don't want it.

Right on the mark there DJ.

The problem was never the vape stores. They were above board, never sold anything that had nicotine in it and never sold to kids.

All that stuff was always imported illegally and sold at tobacconists and the corner store.

Absolutely weak and dishonest approach to the issue by the Labor government. They've lost my vote permanently.
