Over 500,000 Marijuana Vape Cartridges Seized Nationwide in Last Two Years
As health officials scrutinize marijuana vaping, it’s increasingly on law enforcement’s radar, too.
Authorities across the country have seized at least 510,000 marijuana vape cartridges and arrested more than 120 people in the past two years.
People targeted in the busts include a Wisconsin mother and her sons, charged in a black-market manufacturing operation that allegedly churned out thousands of cartridges a day packed with THC.
In New York City, drug authorities say they’ve seized about 200,000 illegal cartridges just since this summer.
The special agent in charge of the Drug Enforcement Administration’s New York office says it is putting more resources into pursuing organizations trafficking in illegal marijuana vaping products.
