How Safe are Legal Marijuana Vaping Products in Illinois? 23/11/2020

How Safe are Legal Marijuana Vaping Products in Illinois?

Dispensaries in Chicago are back online Tuesday, selling legal marijuana products like flowers and edibles to adult recreational customers amid supply shortages.To get more news about wholesale vape pens, you can visit univapo official website.

One popular way of consuming pot legally is via e-cigarettes or vape pens, but public health agencies warn against the use of these products when they’re bought on the black market as they’ve been tied to an outbreak of deadly lung illnesses.

There have been more than 2,000 cases of lung disease tied to e-cigarette use across the U.S. since March, with 55 deaths nationwide, including five in Illinois, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Illinois Department of Public Health. Preliminarily, the CDC has tied the outbreak to a substance commonly added to vaping liquids containing THC. But as similar products are legally sold as part of Illinois’ new recreational marijuana industry, how can customers be sure they’re safe?

First, Illinois’ legal marijuana products – including vaping liquids – are regulated and tested, while black market products are not. Health officials strongly suspect that the central culprit in the lung disease outbreak is the compound vitamin E acetate, which is sometimes used as a thickener in black market products – and potentially deadly if smoked. Illinois cannabis companies like Cresco Labs say no such chemicals have ever been used in its products.

“Those compounds are being used by black market vape manufacturers to stretch the amount of product they have to sell,” said Matt Ingram, senior vice president of manufacturing and technical services at Cresco. “They’ll add that and a number of other cutting agents to stretch their material. We don’t add cutting agents to stretch our material.”

Illinois’ legally cultivated and sold marijuana is regulated and tested by a third-party lab per state specifications. Products used for vaping must test below USEPA food standards for things like microbiological contaminants, mycotoxins, pesticide active ingredients and heavy metals.
