Ricky D'Ambrosio bought his last cannabis oil cartridge last month. About a week later, the 21-year-old began vomiting so much his mother rushed him to the hospital.

Sketchy THC vape products. Sneaky teens. How patchwork regulations on e-cigarettes led to health crisisRicky D'Ambrosio, 21, poses for a portrait at Folsom Lake in Granite Bay, Calif. near his home. D'Ambrosio used to waterski and wakeboard in the lake but has trouble walking to the end of his driveway since his release September 10th from the hospital where he was in a medically induced coma due to acute respiratory failure from vaping nicotine and THC.

"If you ask what happened, there was a surge in popularity of CBD vapes by national brands this summer," says former FDA commissioner Dr. Scott Gottlieb. "People want the product so bad in other states, it's hard to keep people honest," said Kurzfeld, who owns Modular Processing Systems in Willits, California, which tested the cannabis seized in Mendocino County."They're spraying all kinds of crazy substances on their plants, it’s going downstream and we're seeing all the effects all over the country."D'Ambrosio started vaping at the end of his sophomore year in high school.

D'Ambrosio could finally buy legally on his 21st birthday June 28. He and his friends bought a joint from a dispensary in Sacramento to celebrate that day. He bought his last cartridge of THC in August from a different dispensary in the county. Dr. Sean Jorgensen Callahan is a pulmonologist and University of Utah professor who treated two of the six patients with vaping-induced lung illness whose cases were reported in the New England Journal of Medicine. He said his"suspicion is this is not cumulative, something new that people are being exposed to."

Mendocino County Sheriff Tom Allman said his undercover deputies are buying vape oil at dispensaries around the county and Kurzfeld's lab is performing the $500 to $1,000 tests for free. In Phoenix, Tucker Reece and Kolby Stevens, both 23, were arrested in a house detectives believe was operating as a"Closed Loop BHO Manufacturing Lab." BHO stands for"butane honey oil" and is the most dangerous way of extracting cannabis, says Kurzfeld. Detectives found about 1,100 Dank brand packaged vape cartridges and eight jars of cannabis oil.

ALL vaping is dangerous to one's health

Lexapro is also dangerous! Cannabis that comes from a certified medical facility is safe. Cannabis is excellent for depression. The young woman now on Lexapro has a new danger to face, suicide risks!

BUY from a real licensed dispensary that has TESTING label on the package. A real testing label for the actual product you are buying. The distillation unit(wiper) that real processors use is $175,000 to clean the oil. The black market people are selling trash

How long has he been vaping? Is that what he told his mom and the doctors? How often was her using it? 6 times a hour or more? Most smokers don't smoke, 6 times a hour. Where are the cops? Why aren't they shutting down places? Doing raids? They act like they have no idea.
