A friend of mine works in a health food store, and received a box of samples.... They are non nicotine e liquid. One was being sold as a vape/tincture in one type of product. The liquid is gnarly looking, and there is no way I'd ever vape it. I had no idea that companies tried to push these types of products on health food stores. Supplement companies :|

Anything to make a buck, right?

Yep you got that right. It's way cheaper Black Market. But you don't know what you getting. They even put sales tax on it. If it's supposed to be a medicine how can they put sales tax on it?

In NY state, they charge a $150 fee just to get a permit to shop for medicinal use. Then the cost of the product. So of course the black market doesn't disappear, they can undercut it without even lowering quality if they wanted. As to illness from medicinal or recreational dispensaries, there are no uniform regulations from state to state on what can be sold, and what's to say a person gets the "legit" product from the store but supplements with some less expensive, or better marketed, stuff off the street? How do you know which one was the problem short of having all the cartridges available for containment testing?

The license here cost it's about a hundred bucks a year. I don't know what's killing people. I don't think it's electric cigarette juice it's something in the CHT I'm sure of it. They just want to give us a bad name. What are we supposed to do go back to smoking cigarettes? We're getting punished for the potheads. Young very young potheads.

Well, their former association with the UK and the UK's promotion of ecigarettes as a safer alternative to smoking helps. The Aussie's still have a lot of work ahead to legalize nicotine.
I suppose they could make nic-juice prescription only, available to smokers to help them quit.

So then people might start smoking, then switch to e-cigs??????????????? IDK.

The up side is all the aussie vapers I know have a stock pile of 100mg nicotine sitting in their freezers.
If it was legal and you could just pick up some nic juice at the vape shop we wouldnt have had a need to stock pile unflavoured nic to mix with the legal flavoured 0mg juice.
Every 3 to 4 months I import another 200ml-250ml of 100mg and break no law doing so.

    I just received an email about this product which seems like a bad idea in light of all the contaminated oil stuff. Even if it isn't harmful, I don't want anything extra in my vapes so I DIY. The email says:

    Features:

    • Melatonin + Chamomile
    • Caffeine + Vitamins
    • Each Pack comes with 4 pods
    • 1 x Pod contains: 0.8ml
    Options:

    • Energy (Caffeine + Vitamins)
    • Sleep (Melatonin + Chamomile
    Eonsmoke Performance Series Pods

    Kind of hard to lie when you are in the Intensive Care Unit with a tube down your throat attached to a ventilator.

    But yeah, you're right.
