@CDCgov reported 76% of the cases involved THC products (with or without nicotine) and recommends avoiding e-cigarette or vaping products that contain THC. They also reiterated that NO youth, young adult or pregnant women should use ANY e-cigarette or vaping product.Show this thread -
E-cigarette and vaping products pose tremendous risks for our youth and young adults. That’s why I issued a Surgeon General’s Advisory on this epidemic last year. Know the risks & get the facts: https://e-cigarettes.surgeongeneral.gov/

Is THC testing mandated for anyone presenting with these symptoms? If it were they could detect the problem a lot sooner. If a patient is presented unresponsive a drug panel is required immediately, why not THC for these, it's not like the THC tests are expensive.
