    Marijuana Vapes tainted with hydrogen cyanide

    Be careful of Pesticides in Marijuana and Knockoff Nicotine Vapes too.

    Tests show bootleg marijuana vapes tainted with hydrogen cyanide
    NBC News commissioned laboratory tests of knock-off marijuana vapes that found a pesticide linked to hydrogen cyanide in 10 out 10 products.

    sorry if this sounds ignorant but why are people buying these vapes in the first place? can they not buy them legally?

    In some places yes, Knockoff Ones tend to be more affordable.

    People are suggesting it's mainly vitamin E acetate an additive in Marijuana Vapes and Hydrogen Cyanide are causing the issues.

    Not in every state, and probably not easily in some states where marijuana has been decriminalized. This whole vape controversy has to do with these tainted THC vapes killing people, and reactionary legislation is punishing legit vapers. This is why I am ALWAYS against reactionary legislation.

    1. More discreet than herb vaporizers or smoking.

    Recreational marijuana still isn't legal in most states and even where it is, the legal age of purchase is usually 21 (unlike in Canada or the Netherlands), so anyone (especially a young person) who wants to vape THC concentrates will have to obtain it illegally unless they get a medical marijuana permit.

    Because parents rather have them banned to watch their kids.

    Which means the market goes unregulated

    Which means bootleggers regulate it.

    The people who are buying them tend to people who are underaged or live in places where weed is illegal.

    Because politics is reactionary vapes and how dangerous they are will only become regulated if enough people die from them based on your nation standards of how many deaths make politicians act.

    Might be just me but does seem vapes in general are increasingly getting more of a bad name, not sure if that's even just because of bad quality products. I question how safe this whole thing is even when using the least harmful products.

    It's mostly poor people and students in states where it is illegal who don't know better than to get ripped off by shady dealers.

    Because of the American prohibition of Marijuana in 2019.

    That’s the short answer

    They are bad for you. People that thought there were no negatives to it are ignorant. It just took time for them to do damage, and now we are starting to see that. Obviously some are worse than others, but even the least bad is still bad.

    I'm not sure how this is relevant to my post. You seem to be arguing against a position that no one is taking.

    I frequent another message board with people that have pretty much been vaping since vaping became a thing and whatever is happening now, is something new. I vape, and I mix my own vape juice .. got me off cigs and I feel 100x better because of it - but if they do whatever reactionary crap they're trying to do now, I'm scared I'll end up going back to cigs.

    Edit: I vape nicotine, not THC / marijuana - just to be clear.

    Explain the cases where people were hospitalized after a few weeks of using their vape, vs those who have been vaping for the better part of a decade and not having these issues.

    From what i've been gathering from articles, and news reports, there is something currently in circulation that deviates from the typical e-liquids.

    In Canada illegal stuff is far better and cheaper than the legal stuff and the Gov is now lowering their prices to compete like we said they should have to begin with, it actually made the illegal stuff sell better haha.
