The Elko Daily Free Press is counting down the days until marijuana is legal in Nevada by answering questions concerning the law.
Q: What is marijuana paraphernalia, and will it be legal starting Jan. 1?
Marijuana can be consumed by inhalation, oral intake, sub-lingual intake and topically, according to drugpolicy.org. People who smoke marijuana can use a number of methods for getting the intoxicant into their lungs. One way is to put the dry, leafy substance onto a cigarette rolling paper, roll it up, twist the ends, light up and inhale.
Inhalation is the fastest way a person can intake marijuana. Drugpolicy.org states that most users prefer to absorb pot in this manner. The cannabinoids pass from the lungs directly into the bloodstream to produce a quick high.
sells many types of smoking papers that can also be used for smoking tobacco and other inhalants. Top brands include Joker, Top and Bambu. The site also sells machines that allow smokers to mass-produce hand-rolled products.
Pipes, bongs and bowls are used to smoke or vaporize marijuana. Vaporizing is a method in which the plant is not burned but heated to a temperature that releases the cannabinoids.
A bong is a tubular water pipe with a metal bowl area for packing the pot. The bowl is lit and the heated marijuana intoxicants travel through the water and are inhaled.
A bowl is a type of pipe with a metal bowl in which a person can pack the marijuana, light it and smoke it. According to muirwoodteen.com, this is a popular method of using the drug among teens.
Hookahs are devices somewhat like bongs but they are usually larger and more ornate. The origin of the hookah is Middle Eastern. An apparatus usually consists of a brass or metal base with inhalation tubes. Several individuals can smoke a hookah at one time.
Roach clips, commonly known as alligator clips, are used to hold the tip of a marijuana cigarette. Smokers tend to hang onto the very tiniest end of a cigarette because the substance becomes more concentrated nearest the mouth. Using an alligator clip with a "roach" allows a consumer to get the most out of a "joint" without burning his fingers.
Marijuana can also be smoked in an e-cigarette device or hollowed out cigar form. The latter is then called a blunt.
Digital scales are used to weigh marijuana. They can be purchased from head shops or from most online sources like Amazon. The three main types of scales used by marijuana users and sellers are pocket scales, stealth scales and platform scales.
Currently, possession or use of marijuana paraphernalia can be punished with the charge of a misdemeanor and up to 6 months in jail. Higher punishment may be doled out in the form of a felony with up to 5 years imprisonment. The monetary amount for these crimes ranges from $1,000 to $10,000, according to "Nevada Laws and Penalties."
After the first of the year, it will not be unlawful for a person over the age of 21 to manufacture, possess, use, transport or purchase marijuana paraphernalia. A person who is 21 or older can also distribute marijuana to another who is of the same age distinction, according to the recreational pot initiative.
