CANU is warning the public about the emergence of illegal THC cannabis vape cartridges following a recent seizure in Campbellville, Georgetown. Authorities intercepted multiple branded vape products containing concentrated cannabis extracts disguised as commercial vaping devices.

• Potentially contaminated with harmful chemicals and synthetic substances
🚨 Health risks include:
