#2They likely got a bad batch of THC cartridges, there's a ton of black market ones going around all over, with who knows what in them.
Millions of people use nicotine vaporizers daily with no ill effects.

Yeah, a local cluster of ~8-20 cases and the patients say they were using 'THC' cartridges in a state where it's illegal?
People were putting synthetic cannabinoids in e-juice over a decade ago, and I'd be surprised if there wasn't still a market for it. I'd also be surprised if the actual chemicals being used haven't evolved to keep up with regulations - at this point they'd probably be dozens of analogues away from what was presented in the original Huffman papers, huh?
I think it's probably a very bad idea to knowingly use that sort of thing, but I guess the underground market might not have very well-regulated labeling standards.

Yeah the clustering makes me think they got a tainted cartridge as opposed to it being an inherent risk of vaping.

Yes, from own experiences, the cheap carts [dank/mario cart] which are black market only labels use thc analogues while the ones that make it here that are sold in dispensaries are generally legit [rove/tko]
From what I've read about opiate analogues, whatever thc analogues they're using ~15 years after the Huffman paper are far removed from their original state.
I can also confirm there is a tremendous demand for thc carts in non-legal states.

The movement against tobacco hasn't failed, but it is in the trough of its cycle.

#7Note that the black vape on the right in the photo is very much unlike the other two.
It’s a dry herb cannabis vaporizer —- oddly, one of the very few that’s a certified medical device. (it’s a storz and bickel crafty)
There’s a vast difference between concentrate/ejuice/distillate vapes and something like a crafty.
It would be nice if the two categories of vapes could be separated more cleanly when discussing health effects because it would separate a lot of the variables.

#8Is there a better source than Gizmodo? It's basically a tabloid

Very interesting to see JWH discussed on HN. This stuff was BIGGG about a decade ago, and then I stopped hearing about it. It's crazy to see they are still playing the game of cat and mouse with these analogues, and even getting them into the black market carts.
I have medical so thankfully I don't need to mess with the black market at this point. I would _highly_ advise against using any synthetic cannabinoids.

Yes, flower vapes are not even in the same realm. What do you expect from 'Gizmodo', though?
Surprised this isn't a banned source. Have people forgot Gawker so quickly?
