Vaping illicit substances

[croaker260]

Sorry I havent posted in a while. My life has been crazxy busy....

So, I am giving a street drug lecture as a conference... as I am wont to do on occasion, and a thought occurred to me.

We are seeing these "Vaping" stores, products, patients explode in numbers in this area... an exponential increase in this nich market. Even among health care providers. Now I am NOT going to speculate the pro's and con's over traditional tobacco use....But I have a question.

It seems to me only a manner of time before someone puts any number of illicit adulterants in the liquid they use for this. My guess is someone, somewhere probably already has tried it. My personal bet is on opioids. But could be meth, or anything else.

Has anyone actually seen this (illicit/recreational street drugs combined with Vaping) in their area?

So far we've only dealt with people that have used them to smoke their weed in public "anonymously"....

We just got a diffuser from a essential oil supplier. It's supposed to diffuse these different types of essential oils into the air. I walk into our home and the smell of "Thieves oil" or some other oil is in the air.

I am absolutely positive that this has already been done.

They make a base oil that you can infuse various essential oils in so why not take a ounce of coke or some meth, mix it up in the base oil and then put it in your diffuser.

Isn't that what we in EMS are essentially doing (diffusing the meds) into the nasal cavity of the patient with narcan or some other drug?

I'm more than positive that this is already being done in some of the more sophisticated drug dens of iniquity.
