The Bad Side Of Vaping

The negative effects of vaping

Over the past few months, news of severe illness and even reported deaths has been circling around due to the use of vapes around the world; especially for the ones who are using the vape with THC, the main psychoactive ingredient in marijuana. E-cigarette companies and vape manufacturers are being heavily blamed for this phenomena, but the blame should not be solely focused on them, but on the governments too.

One of the major common links with all the affected consumers from vaping is that they are partaking in the consumption of illegal or illicit THC cartridges.This is where we see the Governments’ relevance in the situation; the heavy regulations implemented on the distribution and sale of THC cartridges for vapes have created the occurrence of small time manufacturers, sometimes even from their homes, of THC oils for vapes. 

What is Happening?

Thanks to these intense regulations, the black market for the THC cartridges in immensely flourishing thus creating a very unsafe marketplace for a product that hasn’t finalized its development processes.

Many countries and states around the world are banning these vape products or even the normal flavored vape cartridges as an answer to the rising number of affected consumers. But that will only make matters worse; vaping is a new trend that consumers love, and outlawing it even more will only bring more prosperous business for the illegal producers that no one knows how and where they are producing these THC cartridges, if we can even call them THC.

Weed Prohibition Isn’t The Answer

Legalizing THC is one of the most efficient way of solving this ongoing problem and aligning vaping back to a safe product that would not cause drastic effects on its consumers. These heavy regulations are actually serving the opposite purpose they intend, instead of limiting the consumption, people are just resorting to buying the illegal fix which has proven quite dangerous, and even deadly.
