The future is clear, and itโs greener than ever! With so much happening in the world of Marijuana, we had to ask โ What does the future of smoking look like? Well, after doing some research, weโve got to say; it looks pretty dank from here. Now, letโs talk about it.
We all know what vaping is, but did you know this? Itโs been said that vaping your bud can actually be the healthiest way to medicate if edibles arenโt your thing. Using infused cannabis liquid, concentrates and even dry flower, the vape pen has established its presence in the pot world already, and to be honest, it looks like itโs going to stay. In fact, the MMJ vaping industry raked in over 3.5 billion in 2015, thatโs over double what it was estimated to collect. Also, if youโre a techie at heart, the sleek and modern look of a vape pen might appeal to you more than a joint, and certainly is much easier to conceal.
What else is happening with the future of weed? Well, statistically, you might see more ladies taking part in puffing. Oh yeah, itโs said that since 2004, only 10% of registered smokers in medically legal states were women. Now, itโs about 50-50, and growing. Weโre not sure if the changes in the last decade lowered the negative stigma pot had on women users, or maybe the stand in recent political female figures have helped the cause, but itโs now an even playing field for which sex smokes most.
Just like your favorite kind of soda or snack is marketed to consumers, โbrandedโ strains are now starting to get the same type of Hollywood treatment. Itโs been discussed that by 2020, pot smokers wonโt only be buying a particular strain based on the experience or effect it brings like we do today, but because that strain might be dubbed as the โCoca Colaโ of bud, gaining exposure and attention through you guessed it โ Product placement. Donโt be surprised if you start seeing television ads, billboards and even mascots to promote you to buy certain strains. We knew the day would come, and weโre happy to say โ Bring it on.
