Marijuana vaping arrests rise across states prompt crackdown
Health officials focus on marijuana vaping as law enforcement reports show at least 510000 illegal cartridges seized and more than 120 arrests in the past two years. A Wisconsin operation allegedly produced thousands of THC cartridges daily, while Minnesota authorities recovered nearly 77000 illicit cartridges and New York City seized about 200000 since summer. California seized 7200 Kushy Punch cartridges from a warehouse before license revocation. Authorities warn criminal groups will exploit evolving markets amid health concerns and the opioid crisis.
