Yeah. Spice/synthetic full cannabinoid receptor agonists are honestly terrifying and have such dramatically different effects from legit cannabis.

Apparently there are some super addictive additives in these marijuana vapes. Best to avoid them.

It is why in Canada the government was so adamant that vapes here are 100% cannabis, well that and a fear of popcorn lung.

yeah, if you’re going to use carts stick to reliable vendors. idk anything about spice, but popcorn lung is a legit worry.

Vitamin E isolate is a wild thing to put in vapes. At least with nation wide legalization we can hold legit vendors liable.

That’s why buying a legit vape from a dispensary and not a gas station is important.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but that article is just typical fear mongering BS. It keeps the eyes of parents glued to the screen and consuming ads. Doesn’t even say what “spice” is. Articles like this are basically broiler-llate and come out every few months. Notice how they manage to blame social media, and how they don’t mention any adults using it at all.
I found the wikipedia article on these things more useful and less biased. Spice seems to mostly refer to a designer drug that is similar to THC, but is not THC. And while it is often used to lace marijuana or mixed with weed vapes, it isn’t just weed.
It’s like hearing about people adding PCP or LSD to weed and freaking out about how dangerous weed is. Like… Yeah you shouldn’t buy drugs from some random guy on Snapchat.
