@Mindy D : You just cut and paste these "alerts" to your heart's content. The only problem is you frequently mix up street drugs with those that are from HIGHLY REGULATED state sanctioned dispensaries. DH has had a medical card for three years and we are both amazed at the checks and balsnces. BTW once again I will ask "are you in the medical field?" ; I have now asked you three times to let us know from whence your medical knowledge comes?

The CDC is not sure what the cause of this problem is. My husband also is a patient at legal dispensaries in my state. They are heavily regulated. Even with care, until the CDC says it’s safe to use vaping products from dispensaries, it is wise to avoid vaping.

Some people are buying illegal vape cartridges filled with street drugs and/or who knows what substances, from dealers on the street.
They pair these illegal vape cartridges with the e-cigarette delivery system, and use it to inhale these illegal substances into their lungs.
In one situation in my state the sales were being done by a student in his school.
I saw two kids going door to door in a business area selling these. The boy (about 10y/o) had dozens of home filled vaping cartridges for sale. He came up to the window of the vehicle and asked if I wanted to buy. Girl with him was about 7.
@patbz , my bet is no, absolutely not in the medical field.

@Mindy D I agree! I know that my adult son enjoys vapping occasionally and I've been talking him out of not doing it at all right now! Not worth it!
All of these alerts and terrible stories of young people suddenly getting very sick has alarmed him.

Seems the only safe vaping products are those that follow strict rules in the medical marijuana world. These and ONLY these I would feel okay doing.

@patbz I totally agree with you 110%. I just posted a couple of lines saying the exact same thing. The steps and regulations that the medical marijuana growing/processing MUST go through is just what should be happening. NO ONE touches this, gets involved without being higly scrutinized, licensed to do so.
