Smoke Safe with The New “MouthPeace Mini” from Moose Labs 

 

 

For as long as cultures have consumed cannabis, the practice of sharing a joint among friends has been a common social activity. It’s a behavior cannabis and hemp smokers have been forced to curb due to concerns about the spread of the coronavirus and influenza—until now. Moose Labs has launched the MouthPeace Mini: The first physician-backed germ-preventing accessory and filter designed to fit joints, vape pens and e-cigarettes for a safer smoking experience. 

 

MouthPeace Mini is a smaller, slimmer version of the original MouthPeace, a patented personal-use silicone mouthpiece designed in 2014 to create a physical barrier between a cannabis users’ mouth and their pipe. Created to avoid cross-contamination of shared pipes without killing the “puff puff pass” ethos so integral to weed culture, the MouthPeace is scientifically proven to decrease bacteria on smoking appliances by over 5924 percent—critically important since a 2019 study revealed the average cannabis vaporizer or pipe contains more bacteria than a public toilet seat. 

 

According to MouthPeace co-founder Jay Rush, “Since the onset of COVID-19, we’ve seen a huge spike in demand for the MouthPeace and Filter, with a 9000 percent increase in orders over last year. Just as people wear masks to protect themselves and their friends, they’re seeking ways to enjoy joints and vapes safely.” He added, “We created the MouthPeace Mini and Filter to provide medical and recreational users of cannabis and hemp with a personal, comfortable, and discreet way to share smaller smoking devices without sharing germs or inhaling unnecessary contaminants.” 

 

Constructed with the same high-quality platinum-cured silicone as the original MouthPeace, the MouthPeace Mini is sold in packages of two with six disposable filter inserts for $9.99, with 10-Filter Refill packs available for $6.99. The Filters, designed to fit snugly inside the MouthPeace, use activated carbon and triple layer filtration to remove resins, contaminants and tar from each inhale while allowing smaller molecules like THC and CBD to pass through. The result is a cleaner, safer smoking experience that protects both your lungs and your peace of mind. 

 

Said Rush, “These days, people smoke weed in so many different ways – and we want to extend a safer option to all of them. Whether you’re searching for a joint filter, vape filter, or bong filter, Moose Labs has a harm-reduction product for you.” 

 

The MouthPeace Mini comes in thirteen vibrant colorways, ranging from “Unicorn” to “Black Diamond” to “Purple Haze,” with options for every device and personal style. The MouthPeace Mini and MouthPeace original are available online at www.mooselabs.us or found in-store at select retailers and dispensaries.

You’ve chosen to work in a gray area. You sell products that contain cannabis or cannabis-adjacent substances as well as accessories that can be used to consume it. And while that area has become less gray—you can see rays of sunlight peeking through—the skies are still cloudy. THC remains a Schedule 1 substance, even as medical marijuana has migrated to Schedule 3.
Running a cannabis business is notoriously complicated. For dispensaries, complex compliance burdens permeate every facet of the business, from zoning and licensing to marketing and payments. Whether you’ve been in the cannabis space for mere months or multiple decades, you’ve likely run into drawn-out approval processes, supply chain headaches, or constantly changing regulation that makes compliance challenging, not to mention the other micro and macroeconomic factors that plague all small business owners.
Blending traditional values with modernized, energetic branding, Not Ya Son’s Weed falls somewhere between the cannabis days of yore and today’s recreational cannabis boom. Not Ya Son’s Weed offers a variety of products—including pre-rolls, exotic flower, and gummies—that provide much-needed relief without being too overbearing.
The officials came for Lance Alyas once before. In 2023, they caught him in a sting, seized his merchandise, and tossed him in jail. But just seven days later, after he invoked Hawaii's version of a Freedom of Information Act request, the whole case fell apart. Alyas was released without bail, allowed to simply walk out the door. Now, he’s advocating for freedom from Hawaii’s state officials once again. Only this time, it’s not just his own freedom. As the owner of Oahu’s top-rated smoke shops, he’s fighting for everyone’s right to sell hemp products in the Aloha State.
Born Sara Benetowa in Warsaw, Poland, in 1903, Sula Benet may not be an immediately recognizable name in cannabis spaces today, but she should be. While she primarily studied Polish folk customs, Benet became known for her graduate thesis at the University of Warsaw, titled Hashish in Folk Customs and Beliefs. In the paper, she claims that the plant kaneh bosm—which is referenced throughout the Old Testament and Torah and often translated as “calamus”—actually refers to hemp. Benet’s theory remains both significant and highly controversial today, especially as various religious and evangelical groups continue to demonize the plant.
If the United States were ever a country based on strict adherence to the law, those days are long past. The modern game lies in devising methods to circumvent laws. It’s how the rich avoid taxes, the powerful avoid jail, and industries of all kinds bypass regulations. The paradox is that, despite its ubiquity, it’s not easy to stay beyond the reach of the long arm of the law. Well-moneyed, influential organizations still sometimes misjudge the political and legal playing field and have to pay up. The Sacklers (the family behind Purdue Pharma) eventually were bankrupted by the courts for their role in the opioid epidemic, and officials hit Meta with a $5 billion fine over privacy concerns.
When you walk into a smoke shop today, you might notice the glass cases that once held rolling papers and blunt wraps now display CBD tinctures, functional mushroom capsules, kava elixirs, and hemp-infused sparkling water. The staff might talk to you about terpene profiles, cortisol levels, and a new vape line.
I went home and told my girlfriend, who, after Googling the name of the business I bought it from, told me that, yes, it was technically weed. But it was CBD. She started laughing, telling me I had been ripped off.
