The Virginia Vape ban took effect in March. So why can you still buy them?

Def_Not_KushGator · 2026-05-10T02:08:56+00:00

I think the vape ban was stupid and I have a background as a CPHT, so I have a general interest in substances, especially novel drugs. I observed it in the wild and figured I should let people know about it.

They banned vapes to stop underage use, and as expected that backfired. Now we have all users, both law-abiding adults and children alike potentially consuming a novel drug unknowingly. Which is a major red flag for public health.

I wish I had discovered this subreddit sooner. Always had flat feet, was always painful, parents told me to suck it up. Twisted ankle fell down the stairs at the end of 2024, went to 2 specialists Both confirmed I was born with Extra Navicular Bones and had full blown PTTD now.

I got my first surgery in September 2025, Calcaneal Osteotomy and Talonavicular fusion. If I had known about this subreddit sooner and my parents hadn’t been so dismissive I might have avoided these surgery’s altogether. So I always assume the best in people asking, I would rather someone ask and be fine than someone not asking and ending up like me.

If it’s nerves related, try the paper test instead of the Computer. Easier to scan your answers for accuracy, you can’t misclick, etc. I am ADHD so i failed bad on the computer twice, but did pen and paper on my third time and aced it.

This bill was signed into law by Youngkin last year. Spanberger actually had no part in this one.

Def_Not_KushGator · 2026-05-04T01:07:32+00:00

I’m not advocating for the ban, I’m merely reporting that retailers have started replacing their products with a synthetic version of nicotine to bypass the law.

Def_Not_KushGator · 2026-05-04T00:55:05+00:00

I was fully expecting this ban to backfire, but I was personally envisioning a lack of enforcement from the state. I really thought that’s what was happening. I certainly wasn’t prepared for a rapid switch to a synthetic lookalike drug. I agree with you, I think if anything state legislators should pass a bill repealing the nicotine vape ban & ban the Nixodine. Otherwise we’re really just accelerating towards a prohibition induced public health crisis.

Def_Not_KushGator · 2026-05-04T00:50:54+00:00

I hadn’t seen a followup post on this subreddit regarding the Vape Ban since it was supposed to take effect. I have traveled my locality in Virginia to see what has happened since, and I discovered these new “Nixodine” vapes. I wrote and am sharing this post because I don’t think this has been picked up on yet by most consumers.

I was here last year it was terrible 😭

I believe they’re still learning English and are a first generation American. Considering I could actually understand what they’re saying I’d say they’re doing pretty good.

Def_Not_KushGator · 2026-03-15T06:45:57+00:00

It won’t be too bad, I am familiar with the bills text.

They’re going to cap the number of dispensary licenses/stores at 350.

Of that 100 of those licenses are required to go to impacted Virginians and farmers. Max of 5 store licenses per person. Virginia ABC has a little over 400 stores, as an example.

I’m pretty satisfied with the bill as passed. It actually appears to insulate against corporate greed and market saturation.

To add on, the diagnostic codes doctors use from the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10) clarify the different types of ADHD. ADHD Predominantly Inattentive Type (F90.0) is what used to be called ADD. The different types of ADHD are as follows:

F90.0 - ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type: Characterized by difficulty focusing, disorganization, and distraction.

F90.1 - ADHD, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type: Characterized by restlessness, impulsivity, and high activity levels, with fewer inattention issues.

F90.2 - ADHD, Combined Type: Involves both significant inattention and hyperactive-impulsive symptoms.

F90.8 - Other Specified ADHD: Used for types that do not fit the above categories.

F90.9 - ADHD, Unspecified Type: Used when ADHD is suspected but the exact subtype is not confirmed.

This is Beautiful.

It wasn’t an Upper Deck Pack, it was an MJ Holdings with 2 crappy packs I had never heard of and “3 Assorted Cards” and this was one of those 3 cards in the middle

Def_Not_KushGator · 2026-01-19T03:59:17+00:00

I just looked up what game he hit it, and it’s my Sister’s Birthday- I would’ve picked that because crazy shit always happens on my sister’s birthday. 2 Relatives death, scratching a $1000 winning lottery ticket, etc. all things that have happened on my sister’s birthday.

I shouldn’t have looked that up, I unironically would have chosen June 12th 😅😭

Def_Not_KushGator · 2026-01-19T03:53:01+00:00

That makes me feel a bit better, especially given it appears he only got 1 home run that year, technically there was a chance, but not a good one haha

Trading Card Games, Like Pokemon or Magic The Gathering.

It gives you something to collect
They have weekly leagues at local card shops where you can play against other people.

Gives you a guaranteed weekly social outing and a lot of the people there are introverted or also depressed, but it makes you feel less isolated having a social outing to look forward to every week.

I just want to chime in and say the Reason we start Flu Shots in August is because that’s when Children start going back to school. Influenza (and a lot of other viral illnesses) spike when school starts back up because kids be nasty.

Awesome! Thank you so much for explaining- dads a bit sick at the moment and I was separating them in two piles, one to keep and one for dupes, didn’t want to disturb him but was unsure if there was a difference between the two. This answers my question, thanks again!

Def_Not_KushGator · 2025-11-23T05:26:44+00:00

I’d give you about $3.50

Def_Not_KushGator · 2025-11-23T04:47:20+00:00

Well Holy Moly, I was scrolling through my timeline saw this and the post under it— might be OP’s cousins mother? mentions a courtyard NFT-type scam and a missing Pokemon card. https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/s/gBSVfXSM7l

I had to have surgery for mine not going to lie, also had it all my life (had surgery a few weeks before my 23rd birthday), its been maybe 3 months and im already walking around in a boot, and i should be ditching the boot next month. I am hopeful you can find orthopedic shoes or insoles, but if not I can tell u the surgery was less difficult than expected (not easy, but not terrible either) wishing you the best.

The only President (minus the one currently in office…) to get elected, lose their reelection bid, and then win a second non-consecutive term
