NBC News commissioned laboratory tests of knock-off marijuana vapes that found a pesticide linked to hydrogen cyanide in 10 out 10 products.

Excerpt:
Fabian Castillo was suffering from crippling anxiety when his uncle handed him a marijuana vape pen one day last December.

"It will help calm you down," Castillo said his uncle told him.

Over the next several months, the vape worked as advertised. Castillo, who had just graduated high school in southern California, found himself more mellow and more productive.

He had no idea at the time that he was using, what he now believes, was a bootleg vape pen filled with a toxic mix of chemicals.

Tag line in the story:
"Everything was put on pause because I decided to vape," Castillo said.
Uhm, no, dude. Everything was put on hold because you decided to vape T*C from a bootleg source.

that just means the plants had it before being put into the essential oil extraction process.
anyone smoking *** is getting the same cyanide.
most plants have some degree of cyanide.
like tobacco for example.
you can find cyanide in any cigarette.
its just the news selling fear as usual.
ignore their nonsense.
