What’s a modern day poison people willingly ingest?

Vape carts produced by the lowest bidder in China that are full of goodness knows what.

I'm not saying you shouldn't smoke weed, or that vaporizing a substance isn't or can't be safer or lower harm than smoking it, I am saying very specifically it's very likely that the unregulated lowest-bidder cartridges of the cheapest most profitable materials are going to be a major component of an impending 21st century health crisis around vaping.

We know those cheap Chinese carts are off-gassing literal poison - heavy metals - deep into people's lungs, and that's before we get to whatever kind of unregulated, untested goo made of goodness knows what plus some pot is inside the cart.

Like it's a fucking plant guys, you can at least tell what you've purchased when you buy the plant and smoke it, or you can eat it, or get some fancy vaporizer that vaporizes the plant matter, whatever, I'm sure that inhaling anything is really all not good for you but there's a big difference between inhaling pot smoke or vapor versus a bunch of chromium and lead.

But, nope, it's cheap and convenient and people are making money selling that shit, so as usual here we are.
