Now days growers are doing more and more themselves. I know because I am one of them. I make butter oil and shatter all by myself now days. I really don't think it is the little guys like us causing problems out there. Vaping problems are arising out there everywhere now days. I have did some checking into it because I vape both nicotine and THC. What I have found out is lots of the vaping hospitalizations are do to vaping THC products. Not nicotine ones. I don't know if it is shatters or oils but I suspect it is shatter or other BHO products.
Like I said this is all conjecture here. If vaping THC is a problem it is coming from what the vape product was made with not the THC. Early on I had lots of problems getting my shatter to totally purge. I was making wax with my BHO instead of a vacuum purge. When it got warm I always noticed tiny bubbles. Because of this I ordered a vacuum pump. Once I got my vacuum system I really noticed how much butane was still left in the products I was making. I really don't know how bad the stuff I already smoked was. I know now that I did smoke some butane. I really think this or one of the other things people make concentrates out of is causing the lung irritation. We all know it is not THC no matter what the concentrate percentage rates at.
I am just suggesting to make sure any concentrates you are making are clean and well purged. Like I said it is probably not us little guys. Someone out there is making large batches of shatter and oil for the black market and not doing it right. Black market and homemade products are out there for both THC and nicotine. Black market will never be blamed, They will blame the main stream companies. This is going to continue to cause problems for anyone who vapes. They are blaming Vaping not what is being vaped.
There is nothing any of us can do about that. I just wanted to make sure everyone is being safe with the concentrates they are making and consuming.
