I posted this in the other thread on this topic. I ask the moderator to maybe consolidate the two here at the tokers den. I really do think this story needs very serious attention to anyone who uses or knows someone who uses pre filled thc vape pens and those of us "in the community" look at this hard. There is some really bad shit being sold as fillers for concentrates and it obviously can fuck up the business plan when you get blamed for people dying.
It's just so bizarre that the story being told is that kids are vaping and they are dying, and that banana strawberry, or any other fruity eliquid( which by the way, is being made to purposefully addict little kids to nicotine and must be immediately banned) is the culprit, and therefore all vape shops must die, when every single case involves the same products: vape pens, thc
Being pretty familiar with both the nicotine products as well as being a lifelong grower of pot I know I cannot be bullshitted on either topic. I don't know everything by any means but I know I/we are being bullshitted hard here.
I ask everyone to read the rolling stone article about this topic " Three Companies Subpoenaed In Weed Vape Illness Investigation"
These fillers, thickeners, thinners, all this shit is being WIDELY used. They put vitamin E oil in it. YOU CANT VAPE OIL. Fucking lipid pneumonia. This topic, this thread, this issue, should be the number one discussion occurring in the thc industry, on this forum. This SHIT is widespread. Fucking kids, think about how old you were when you first toked up. I was 13. Think about how easy it would be to peddle this shit down to the kids. What do they know?
There is the possibility that almost all the bootleg and who knows how much in the legal world concentrate products being sold contain this shit. The three companies mentioned in the article have gone dark or removed all references to the products they were selling.
It's all so stupid and sad. We were selling pre rolls and grams of pretty decent looking cbd buds at all the stores when the state cops came in and said they were going to treat it like it was pot and let the courts sort it out. Of course we folded. If it were not illegal it could be watched, or at least treated like a restaraunt, or maybe a licensed lab, which is the reality. As long as its illegal and completely unregulated who the fuck knows.
Just dont make me close our vape stores for this. We need flavors. Our customers like flavors. You cant buy anything at our stores unless you are in the system with a scanned ID. We have banned multiple Juul pod sales for over a year. No kids buy shit from us. We run a tight ship. All the vape shops do. You have to. But go to a c-store and they don't give a shit about nothin. Every fucking c-store in the US carries Juul.
