‘How do I short this?’ Crypto weed pen gets dragged on 4/20
A new AI-powered cannabis vape pen called Gudtrip is facing criticism online for its combination of crypto rewards and vaping.Summary
Gudtrip, an AI-powered vape pen created by Puffpaw, is receiving significant backlash online, particularly on X, with users questioning its legitimacy and branding it a potential “grifter buzzword world record.” The device promises rewards in Bitcoin, Gudtrip Points, and VAPE tokens for users who vape, and offers “open-source AI agent tools” for investing those rewards. Critics argue the product combines harmful buzzwords and is likely a scam, with concerns that it will exacerbate vaping addiction rather than disincentivize it, despite initial claims to the contrary. Even the founder, Reffo Tse, jokingly asked “how do I short this?” reflecting the negative sentiment. Experts at UK Addiction Treatment Centres suggest the gamification and crypto rewards could worsen addiction, framing it as a corporate profit scheme.
