I guess it depends on what's in the pen. That being said, I have tried an indica pen in WA after being assured I was being silly and two weeks of sensations of impending death followed.
I don't understand why "potsplaining" is so prevalent: whenever I indicate that I can't have marijuana, I'm told I'm being stupid, that it's all in my head and it's due to a wide sample of armchair diagnoses of a psychological state on my behalf.
Telling people that they have to, or should, smoke marijuana is on exactly the same intellectual footing as telling people that they can't - sans medical reasons on both ends of that spectrum.
