This is not a shitpost or a meme

Be careful vaping from sketchy CBD/THC vapes. They can make some people sick. Whole flower is better, get a good dry herb vape (I know I will after this bout with my illness, even my emergency room doctor recommended a good dry herb vape instead).

Thanks to a illness called Cannabinoid Hyper Emesis, I’ve been puking my guts up almost every hour today.

Apparently CBD/THC can alter the rate at which you digest your food, and this seems to be one of the main roots of this illness.

edit

Thanks for all fhe kind responses i am now discharged from the hospital.

    Who could have possibly known breathing in funky plant chemicals from a pen could impact your health?

    I hope more people stop this fad or we’ll end up replacing the frail chain smoker generation with vaping victims.

    If you don’t mind me asking, what country are you located in? These pens are pretty common in Canada, but produced at a federally legal level, possibly correlated to why I havent yet heard about any illnesses here

      Im in the USA, the vapes I was getting contained legal THC derived hemp based CBD.

      I do question the purity of them, they were relatively cheap and In the US there’s no government oversight over these things so its kind of hard to know what you’re getting at times if you have a sketchy vendor or shop you’re getting from.

      Edited a bit for additional clarification.

        Just like the 'Indian’s reserves over here lol, they’re technically their own provience so they do whatever they want.

        But excuse my lack of stoner knowowledge but Tf is CBC derived THC?

          I think they mean CBD extracted from female cannabis plants, not male plants. Or they mean CBD extracted from cannabis (male or female) vs CBD extracted from non-cannabis trees (which is a thing).

            First sentence was lost to autocorrect lol, but it probably is some American loophole, hopefully not trying to make synthetic THC cause thats just a recipe for disaster - and US would probably put it in more things then they do corn starch

    I tried some THC vape some months ago and was fantastic, that shit got me high as never before. But I’m afraid of buying because of what you said. Hard to know if they are legit if you live somewhere where even regular nicotine vapes (and weed) are illegal.

    My sister is a nurse and freaks out any time I mention vaping because of shady carts. She smokes lots of flower.

    Being in the hospital is never fun, even though I’ve almost always been an outpatient, minus one incident. Get better soon!!
