In response to the rash of hospitalizations and deaths
linked to vaping, some doctors who prescribe medical marijuana are telling
their patients to quit vaping and smoke a joint instead. The Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention confirmed 380 cases of severe respiratory
illness and six deaths related to vaping nicotine or marijuana. Experts don’t
know if the culprit is in nicotine or marijuana vaping products, nor have they
pinpointed what is causing the illnesses. One possible cause being investigated
is a vape-juice thickener, vitamin E acetate. Most experts believe the products
that are making people ill are bought illegally on the street, not in marijuana
dispensaries. Though there is no federal regulation of marijuana products sold
in dispensaries, each state that has legalized recreational or medical
marijuana has its own set of rules.
According to a USA
Today story,
“Marijuana vaping company owners say they’re being unfairly maligned by
government regulators and an alarmist media that fail to distinguish between
state-licensed legal and black-market products, which are completely
unregulated.”
