A few weeks ago we reported on a story coming out of the Denver Gazette in which they investigated the efficacy of some of the labs in the area. What they found is that in some of their samples, the THC was derived from CBD in an attempt to bypass some of the heavy regulations […]
A new study has come out that adds fuel to the fire of vaping safety. However, some grains of salt must be taken with the study considering that it was funded by PAX, a vaping device company.
