PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: DANGERS OF VAPING

As most of you are likely aware, there's been an onslaught of articles published recently about the dangers of vaping. So far, six deaths have been reported, and hundreds more cases of vaping-related lung disease have been reported throughout the country. As a result, the CDC has issued a vaping warning while they investigate the cause. While details are still emerging, here's what we know thus far:
  • Cases of vaping-related lung disease have been linked to unregulated illicit vape cartridges that have not undergone proper testing and could contain contaminants.
  • In addition to illicit vape cartridges, the cases have also been linked to e-cigarettes. More specifically, e-cigarettes containing additives and flavorings.
  • In 10 out of 18 THC product samples tested, the FDA found Vitamin E Acetate. Synthetic Vitamin E Oil, a cheap thickener, appears to be the common denominator in most of these tainted products.
Here at The Green Cross, we want to take a moment to address member concerns and share some helpful resources. Please take a moment to review the following articles for more information on the causes and how you can protect yourself going forward:

Vape Pen Lung Disease: Here’s What You Need to Know

Regulators, Industry React to Vitamin E-Tainted Vape Carts

Special Report: Cannabis Researchers, Scientists Confront Vaping-Related Lung Disease Debate

Are Vaping Ailments Linked to Bootleg Cartridges?

In light of this information, we encourage our members to only purchase vaping products from licensed California cannabis retailers like The Green Cross. This will ensure the products have passed state-regulated testing and are free of dangerous additives. The only brands named in the investigation to date are Chronic Carts, Dank Vapes, Honey Cut, Floraplex, Pure Diluent, and West Coast Carts. We strongly recommend that you dispose of any vape products purchased on the illicit market, and consider ending the use of nicotine e-cigarettes altogether, especially those containing flavorings and additives. 
We also want to take this opportunity to assure you that The Green Cross does not carry any products included in the CDC warnings or currently under investigation. All our vaping products are free of harmful additives and diluents, and follow strict compliance with all state regulations. We only work with vendors who pride themselves on offering high quality cannabis concentrates made with integrity. All products are lab-tested and free of any hazardous chemicals mentioned above. All of our vaping vendors have recently released statements to address consumer concerns. Please take a moment to review their statements for more details: Vendor Statements.

We greatly appreciate you taking the time to review this information and urge you to take necessary precautions to prevent this from happening to you or your loved ones. We will continue to update you as more details come to light.

Colombia Is Turning Into A Major Medical Marijuana Producer

Picture
Patricia Santiago and her family were forced to flee their home near Colombia's Caribbean coast after complaining about neighborhood dope dealers who, in turn, threatened to kill them. But in an odd twist, Santiago now works in the drug trade — at a medical marijuana facility.

At first, Santiago felt like she was breaking the law as she pruned and clipped cannabis plants on a plantation run by a Colombian firm called Clever Leaves. However, the government legalized medical marijuana in 2016 and now Clever Leaves is exporting cannabis-based products to Canada and the United Kingdom. Read more »


Presidential pot: Why 2020 Democrats are ready to legalize marijuana

Picture
DENVER – Once a politically dangerous subject, legal marijuana has become something of a de facto platform plank for the 2020 Democratic candidates: All support either legalizing or decriminalizing its use, and the differences lie in how far the candidates are willing to take it.

Those differences – particularly former Vice President Joe Biden's reluctance to embrace full federal legalization and the lack of enthusiasm that increasingly organized young marijuana activists have for him – may play a role in determining who faces President Donald Trump next fall, experts said. Read more »


Scientists Unveil Weed Breathalyzer, Launching Debate Over Next Steps

Picture
The alcohol Breathalyzer came to life slowly, over the course of decades.

From the 1930s through the 1960s, scientists, lawmakers, police and the public quarreled over the veracity of the numbers spit out by the device, the appropriate legal limit for drivers and whether they could trust a machine over a cop's testimony. Read more »


Have a fantastic weekend everyone! We hope to see you all at The Green Cross soon!
