Drug Alert – Contaminated Vapes

We are aware of vape liquids & pens containing very strong synthetic cannabinoids ‘spice’ which are likely being sold as THC vapes. These are causing unintended effects in those who use them. THC vapes are not sold legally in the UK, and there is little evidence of sale of vapes and liquids in the UK which actually contain THC. Tests have shown that many ‘THC vapes’ will actually contain a synthetic cannabinoid e.g. ‘spice’. In countries where THC vapes are sold legally, they cost considerably more than nicotine vapes – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Whatever you are told about it containing weed or THC, it is unlikely that it does, and the effect will not be what you expected. ‘Spice’ can be highly dangerous and is commonly used amongst people in prison and those who sleep rough – because it robs them of hours of awareness of being locked up or cold and scared or suffering crippling anxiety or opioid withdrawals – it is not because it feels great. Please work through this resource to learn more.
