  1. At this point, anyone who stands against legalization is just harming people on purpose.

  2. If only there were an easy way to solve this and also generate billions upon billions in tax

  3. They are making xylazine a class c drug so it must be safer than cannabis (classb) in the UK’s eyes  Saying that they sayBenzodiazepines are class C drugs too 😦 and some these are a gateway to heroin use 

  4. It still blows my mind it’s still not legal there, when I moved to Canada it became legal, and there’s been zero negative effects.

  5. Xylazine is mixed in with fentanyl here in Canada. It’s terrifying that it’s getting mixed into vapes over there. There is a saying here, ‘stay away from black market carts’. Id never buy a cart if I was visiting family over in the UK, only flower or hash.

  6. It’s common knowledge that the majority of weed vapes are spice or some other horrible chemical

  7. For anyone wondering why the UK gov is so opposed to legalising cannabis the answer is lobbying by the alcohol industry.

  8. Two vape cartridges out of 10’s of thousands. While I am not comfortable buying cartridges from randoms, this feels like fear mongering.

    I wonder if you bought 10’s of thousands of nicotine carts from random newsagents if you’d find a couple with shit in that you wouldn’t want in your lungs?

  9. I don’t vape but I do smoke weed, I work long hours so it’s nice to have something help me unwind at the end of the day. I just wish they’d decriminalise here in the UK, I’ve had to deal with some dodgy characters in the past

  10. carts should be banned as they are processed. stick with flowers instead.

  11. Ohhh..I know this one!

    Just freaking legalise it already.

  12. where are people even buying weed carts in the UK

    asking for a friend

  13. >Although the numbers found were small – only two THC vapes and a small number of illegally sold pills out of tens of thousands of products – the experts say it is still extremely concerning

    THC should be legal but this is just fear mongering
