The term refers to a specific type of vaping product: a cartridge designed for use with vape pens and pre-filled with cannabis oil. These items often mimic the branding and packaging of established, legitimate cannabis companies, despite frequently operating outside of regulated markets. Analysis reveals a wide variation in content and quality, representing a key concern for public health.
These cartridges present a significant risk due to the lack of standardized production and testing. Historically, such unregulated products have been linked to adverse health outcomes, including lung injuries. The appeal often stems from lower prices compared to regulated cannabis products, but this comes at the expense of consumer safety and quality assurance. Their presence underscores the challenges of regulating a rapidly evolving market.
