When it comes to smoking gear, you’ll see a lot of buzzwords: “premium,” “lab-tested,” “engineered.” But one seal of trust you may have noticed on Weedgets products is ACNA approval.
If you’ve ever wondered, What does that even mean? — and more importantly, Why should I care? — this article is for you.
Who Is ACNA?
The American Cannabis Nurses Association (ACNA) is a national organization made up of healthcare professionals who specialize in cannabis medicine. Their mission is simple: to advance evidence-based practice and protect the health of cannabis consumers.
These aren’t marketers or influencers — they’re nurses and medical experts who look at cannabis through the lens of patient safety and wellness.
What Does ACNA Approval Mean?
When ACNA puts their name behind a product, it signals that the product meets their standards for:
-
Health and safety → Does the product reduce harm or exposure to toxins?
-
Functionality → Does it work as intended, delivering a safer or more comfortable experience?
-
Credibility → Is the design backed by sound engineering, materials, and testing?
For a smoking accessory to earn ACNA approval, it must demonstrate clear benefits to consumer health compared to standard options.
Why Weedgets Earned It
Weedgets pipes and filters weren’t built like traditional gear. Founder Michael Barenboym — a medical device engineer with 35 years of experience — applied the same principles used in life-saving devices to smoking.
-
The Maze-X Pipe cools smoke through a patented maze-like pathway, lowering temperature before it hits your throat.
-
Carbon-X filters use advanced nanocrystal technology to trap resin and particulates without stripping away flavor.
-
Tic-Toke tips block hot tar and protect lips and fingers from burns.
In short: Weedgets products make smoking safer, smoother, and more comfortable — which is exactly why ACNA recognized them.
Why It Matters to You
For many smokers — especially those over 50 — health is a top priority. You want to enjoy flower, but not at the expense of your lungs, throat, or long-term comfort.
An ACNA approval isn’t just a logo. It’s peace of mind. It tells you that healthcare professionals see the value in what Weedgets is doing: reducing harm while preserving the ritual and pleasure of smoking flower.
The Bottom Line
There are hundreds of pipes, filters, and gadgets on the market. But very few carry the backing of a medical association dedicated to cannabis wellness.
When you see ACNA approval on Weedgets gear, you know it’s not just marketing fluff. It’s a seal of trust — one that says you’re choosing products designed with your health and comfort at the center.
Because enjoying flower should feel good — during your session and after it.

"The best cannabis delivery device! I have spent thousands of dollars on various cannabis delivery devices for the many different forms available today. This incredible device provides the smoothest smoke with the most efficient burn leading to most pleasant buzz. No other device or type is needed. They are all a waste of time and money. The maze X is the only device a cannabis user will ever need."

"Best little 'whatchamacallit' in recent history. I bought the starter kit and I gotta say, the small and medium are just incredible. The small one works great with regular joints. I have been experimenting with cannagars recently and have been making 'cigarillo' sized cannagers and the medium tip is just the perfect size for it. I plan to start making fatter cannagars shortly and I believe the large will be just right for the largers sized ones. The extra large, I'm not quite sure I'll find a need for it as it is really quite large. I assume, as the pictures show, that the extra large tip would work great on some pipes and possibly small bongs. Really a great little gizmo."

"A Solid Piece of Smoking Equipment! I have truly enjoyed using my new Maze-X Pipe. It is such a solid piece of smoking equipment, so well thought out and well put together. It has it all...easy to use...easy to clean...no tiny, little replacement parts that become instantly lost. I was so impressed, I just bought another Maze-X for a present!"
