CDC is Protecting Illicit Marijuana While Trying to Pin this Outbreak on Traditional E-Cigarettes
The Rest of the Story ^ | September 8, 2019 | Dr. Michael Siegel

Posted on 09/14/2019 12:35:38 PM PDT by Eric Blair 2084

It is clear to me that in its investigation of more than 400 cases of acute respiratory failure tied to the vaping of certain products, the CDC is doing everything it can to undermine the proven connection between most of these cases and illicit marijuana vape carts, while exaggerating a potential, but completely unproven connection with traditional electronic cigarettes.

This was highlighted last Friday with the complete split between the FDA and CDC with respect to their public communications and warnings regarding the disease outbreak.

Well it doesn’t take a genius to see the connection.

There were no problems all these years and then when kids started adding other crap to it, there was.

You can quit smoking. But no matter what you do these Same statist politicians and nonprofit special interest, Bogus study Grant junkie groups and parrot media partners Will haunt you forever. They are like a cancer. They cannot be reasoned with they just need to be illiminated.

I quit smoking nine years ago with nicotine vaping devices. They were in the Commodore 64 stage at that point.

I am glad.

I quit 4 years ago after smoking 2 packs+ a day for 50 years.

I had a stroke and spent 3 weeks in the Hospital and rehab. That was enough time to reduce the craving to make it possible to quit.

I still reach for my front shirt pocket sometimes though.

Nicotine is an evil beast do not mess with her

Cannabis is a magic plant that has been with humanity now for about 10,000 years and only now are the miraculous qualities of CBD becoming main stream

You should not smoke anything you should not vape anything

Try the chocolate and gummy’s - my warning to you is stick with manufacturer recommendations!

For those that want the medicinal benefits without the buzz CBD

one that wants a deep psychological experience THC

There is no known toxicity of cannabis - this makes it unique upon all entheogens

I quit smoking after a lot of years of it, when I could feel the impact of the combination of aging and the effect of cigarettes. Decided to help my body last as long as possible.

I've been sober off booze for 29 years. I knew plenty of folks in AA who just couldn't give up the nicotine sticks, some tried mightily but they just couldn't do it. A couple eventually died from lung cancer and emphysema. Hats off to you for making it through.

I gave up drinking at the same time, but I still have one of those ‘non-alcohol’ beers one in a while.

I guess my point was that the fake cigarettes are not quite as good but even if you switch to them some people will still not like it because it looks like smoking.

I still find myself hanging outside at weddings just to smell the secondhand smoke. It smells like freedom.

this is all manipulation.......in every article about this o called vaping crisis, they slide in a little burp that most all those getting sick have been using thc in their vaping, something they can not buy at a legitimate vape supplier.

Well that's your choice. For me that's not an option. The way I see it when God rescued Daniel out of the lion's den Daniel didn't go back for his hat.

The Black market THC oil Does not burn at 400° in a vaporizer, So it drips into the lungs and coats it. The vitamin E acetate and thickeners make it worse.

But the main stream media with an agenda report that these cases were caused by global warming.

When George Orwell wrote 1984 in 1948 he didn’t anticipate the Internet, where a big brother cannot control their citizens because the same technology could be used to free them.

This inter-webs thing must be rough on aging hippie liberal douche working in newspapers.

Everyone protects their preferred poison, and that’s all this writer is doing.

OMG!!!!

Is that what’s going on?

I figure besides coating it, it would cause massive infection.

Good grief.
