THC Vapes – know the risks

THC is the stuff in cannabis that gets you high, so it can make you feel relaxed and giggly but it can also make you feel paranoid and anxious so it’s not always fun.

With vapes, THC comes mixed in the liquid in refillable pens or it can come already preloaded in disposable pens.

The main risk with THC vapes is that you don’t always know what’s in it. Most things sold as THC vapes don’t actually contain THC, instead, they may contain synthetic cannabinoids like spice or synthetic opioids like nitizines.

These can be really dangerous and even lead to overdose.

Some people have even ended up with lung damage from nasty and dodgy vape juices.

Unlike smoking cannabis vaping is lowkey and convenient so you might not realise how much you’re actually using.

More THC will have more of an impact on your physical and mental health the long-term effects are still a mystery since vaping is relatively new scientists aren’t really sure about the long-term effects on your body.

At the end of the day the safest option is to not use drugs at all, but if you are make sure you stay as safe as possible.

Start low, go slow. Take a few small puffs and then see how you feel.

Stick with people you trust. If things go wrong you would want someone you know will have your back.

Don’t mix with other drugs or alcohol Pills and any other drug can make things go really unpredictable.

If you really want to know what’s in your THC vape you can get it tested by sending an anonymous sample to wedinos.org.

The final tip is, if someone overdoses don’t wait. Call 999 immediately and whilst you’re waiting for an ambulance put them in the recovery position.
