Acc'd to a new report from the CDC, the REAL issue with the CBD/hemp, THC and nicotine vape oils is Vitamin E acetate added to cut them with. Vaping Vitamin E acetate can lead to EVALI and even death. EVALI (E-cigarette Vaping Associated Lung Injury).
Back in the day we smoked gobs of black market weed from Colombia, Thailand and Mexico, and lived to tell the tale. Who knows what that had on it, including Paraquat. Smoking mites is not going to to kill you. Most herbicides, including Paraquat and dioxin are rendered harmless when burned. That is why there was no massive die off of hippies back on the later 1970s after the DEA was spraying plants with herbicides in Mexico. In Colombia and SE Asia, the common method of curing was to pile up fresh green cut colas and leave it all to rot. That killed the green chlorophyll and created a gold bud product. Smoking gobs of that stuff did not kill off heaps of people either. Botrytus rot is called noble rot in grape vineyards. That has been in late harvest wines since the dawn of civilization. Powdery mildew spores are in the air here non stop in the PNW. If that kills people, we would all be dead up here by now.
Oddly with all the warnings and whatnot, its Vitamin E that is killing people that vape lately. Me, I only smoke my own weed (and hemp, but I do not make any distinction between any types of Cannabis plants) that I grow. Yeah, there are some mites and mite eggs in there, along with some mold and mildew. I do not have any lung issues though.
