WTF is a 'weed cartridge' ??????????
In any case, "legalization" does NOT necessarily
eliminate black markets. If everybody can't get
it, or it's really expensive, or everyone can't
get the "good stuff", then a black market WILL
emerge to fill the gap. Usual crime rules apply,
including bad/lethal deals.

Wish you had not removed the URl to the News item.
Cartriges usually have hash or hash oil. If the solvent
was badly chosen or incompletely removed then dire
consequences may ensue. If it was from the illegal
market both are possibilities.
To envisage some of the variety of forms in which
cannabis can be sold look around at the following URL: <https://sparc.co/> I have been doing business at SPARC
for several years now and a happy customer.
THCs and I do *not* get along. Doesn't mean YOU
can't be someones happy customer though. I'll
have to stick to clear liquors.
The term "weed cartridge" is still weird - it
implies something pressed full of actual leaf.
Hash oil should come in a "vial". Actual hash
used to come in "foils". But those terms are
from 50 years ago.
As for the quality of dope today ... that's become
a big issue. It's easy to do it very wrong. There
was the infamous "brown acid" at the Woodstock
concert, X/MDMA became increasingly contaminated
with dangerous reagents as its popularity increased
(sometimes causing 'instant parkinsons'). Meth
is absolutely notorious ... as bad as meth is for
you the contaminants are even worse. In a rapidly
expanding THC market I can see how quick-n-dirty
methods for making hash oil would become common.
Now everything is *intentionally* contaminated
with mystery quantities of Fentanyl - even weed.
Grown-ups can go to a decent weed shop (in some
states) but the punks will score whatever they
can find.
"Legalization", or prohibitions, are not the
panaceas crusaders like to believe. X-percent
get WAY to much into dope - the street scene
in Portland says it all - but prohibitions
just spawn violence/corruption and many people
can usually get their dope regardless (at
prices that mean they steal from YOU).
Hmm ... I oft wonder about M.J.Fox ... nobody
his age should have had Parkinsons. However
the TIMING points to when X became a super-
popular club drug.
