new results from a local marijuana
testing lab paint an alarming picture of
what people who vapor putting into their
bodies team 10 investigative reporter
Jennifer Kastner discovered that nearly
80 percent of the cannabis vape
cartridges that were tested were deemed
unfit for human consumption what you see
is all made right here whether you want
to eat your marijuana as chocolate or
vape it as oil Platinum vape and San
Diego's got you covered this is actual
cartridges being filled tucked away in a
quiet business park the manufacturing
company produces high potency pesticide
free cannabis products that go through
rigorous testing co founder George
Sadler is on a mission to spread
awareness about the serious potential
health risks of using products from
unlicensed vape makers and sellers what
can you say it's it's horrible it's
doing so much harm to people versus
walking into a licensed or so platinum
vape teamed up with nearby licensed
cannabis dispensary mankind to buy back
cartridges that ranged from homemade
concentrates to counterfeits of popular
legal brands in exchange customers got
discounted platinum vape cartridges that
are tested and regulated we wanted to
encourage them to replace something that
could make them sick with something that
was safe so if you see inside this
window you can see the plasma those
cartridges were then sent to local
marijuana testing lab infinite Cal for
potency pesticides in heavy metal
testing the results were alarming the
lab found that almost 80% of the
cartridges were deemed unfit for human
consumption more than 60% failed for
pesticides that's what all of these are
and this one over here is also another
pesticide almost 40% field for lead so
toxic levels have left yeah one of the
big pens had almost a hundred times the
legal limit and half of all the products
had less than 50% THC in them some of
the cartridges were even cut with
excessive levels of vitamin E acetate
the additive that may be linked to
numerous vapor elated deaths and
illnesses 20% of them
a significant amount it's sad for me you
know public safety is a really important
part of what we do and what we believe
in mankind says the only way to ensure
that customers are getting safe products
is if they buy them from licensed
dispensaries like mankind that purchased
products from distributors like platinum
vape that are regulated by the
California Bureau of cannabis control I
think the exposure needs to be there for
people to really understand what's
happening and you can check out all of
the marijuana dispensaries licensing
statutes on the state's website we have
a link to that on ten news.com find it
