Potential E-Cig Ban Enables Law Enforcement To Seize Vehicles Of Vape Users
In Massachusetts a bill was recently passed in the House that could further shred property rights for all individuals in the region, by ultimately affording police the authority to confiscate vehicles and other assets when they find untaxed vaping products while on the job.
The state has been seeking to implement a vaping ban on all vaping products being sold on the shelves. However, a judge has previously ruled that it is likely unlawful to have such a restriction implemented, but rather than overturn the legislation the judge gave authorities until the end of Oct to rewrite the controversial ban.
Superior Court judge D. Wilkins recently asserted that the vaping ban causes irreparable harm to medical cannabis patients who medicate with THC oil by vaping.
As far as medicating with cannabis thc oil, researchers have previously suggested that this is a much cleaner consumption method than traditional joints or other avenues.
For those who are caught violating the rules and buying something off the grid, they could face thousands of dollars in fines and officers could also have the option to seize assets of those users including any airplanes, boats, and motor vehicles, where the vape products are found.
"This is completely insane and endangers the property rights of anyone in Massachusetts," - IJ attorney D. Alban

Is it me, or is Massachusetts one of the more heavy handed states in the union?
