Hardware & Legality Editor
Rae Calloway
Rae owns the two beats that outlast everything else on this site: hardware and legality. The hardware side is dry-herb vaporizers, grinders, and storage — judged on published specs, warranty terms, and owner consensus, with conduction and convection explained without mysticism. The legality side is the state-by-state checker: statutes read and cited, gray areas called gray instead of rounded to yes, and the federal November 12, 2026 ban tracked plainly on every page it touches.
The protective streak is the point. Readers arrive with a simple question — can I buy this where I live? — and most of the internet answers with whatever sells. This desk answers with the citation, the caveats, and a last-checked date, and when a state has not been verified yet, the page says exactly that instead of guessing.
Rae holds no law degree and no legal practice, and claims neither — nothing on this site is legal advice, and the pages say so. The authority is method: primary sources read directly, statute cites shown so readers can verify, and hardware facts taken from manufacturer documentation rather than reviewer folklore.
Lab note
Cite the statute, date the check, call gray gray; recommend hardware that survives November 12.
