The New World of Hemp: featuring FlytLab’s ST!K

5/2/2019

Hemp was demonized for decades as the ‘devil’s lettuce’ and portrayed as the worst choice anyone could make. While some of the misinformation is humorous now, those lies had spread like wildfire, ruining millions of lives all around the globe. And for what? Political gain, power struggles and corporate take overs of our medical system…
Picture
I think often about the effects certain people in power had over the world, and I am pulled in multiple directions, from sadness to anger to disbelief, but then I arrive at the conclusion that perhaps it was for the best in the end. I will never say that the loss of people’s lives over hemp was a positive thing, because it wasn’t, but I can see a little silver lining in that cannabis is being treated with a medicinal mindset, more than a party drug or whatever might have scared conservatives 60 years ago.

My conclusion is that without the advent of the internet, the public would still have the understanding that hemp is an evil, harmful drug. But thankfully, with the new digital connection came also a light of truth shining through the propaganda. Now, after dozens of medical marijuana legalizations, we’ve arrived at an exciting time where many people in legalized states can choose what sort of medicine they implement for their ailments.

With the general acceptance of hemp comes a myriad of exciting inventions and new ways of doing things. Beyond the industrial applications of hemp like rope, fabric, fuel and more, the medicinal side of cannabis is also feeling the upsurge of innovation. One of the coolest companies leading the way is FlytLab, who specialize in personal devices for medicinal use of cannabis. Where it was once mostly flowers being smoked, clean concentrates consisting of the active ingredient in cannabis, THC, are available. And on top of that, CBD, the non-psychoactive compound found in hemp, which has shown to have some powerful medicinal effects, can also be used in a vaporizer.

I recently teamed up with FlytLab to test out their new device known as the ST!K, which is a wonderful little vapor system, capable of turning concentrate oils and waxes into clean vapor. Basically, you fill this discreet stick with the oil or wax, then turn on the heating chamber and within seconds, you have vapor streaming through the mouthpiece. To partake, you simply inhale the vapor and the medicinal effects enter your bloodstream from there.

The ST!K vaporizer comes loaded with interchange heating chambers, ceramic and quartz, with each offering specific capacity and efficiency for the connoisseur. The ST!K has four temperature settings and is streamlined in its ergonomic design to allow for quick one-button operation and even quicker vapor. During my time in Colorado, I’ve used a few models that would take over a minute to heat up and if you inhaled with too much vigor, the heat in the oven would disappear and it would stop vaporizing the flower or oil, but the ST!K doesn’t have that problem. Overall, it’s a very solid, sleek and discreet vaporizer that is tiny but powerful.
