What brings you peace? To put it simply, when my mom is doing okay I am at peace. She has lived with a chronic illness for 30 years, starting on my first birthday after a surgery.

The chemical is an oil derived from vitamin E. Investigators at the U.S. Food and Drug Administration found the oil in cannabis products in samples collected from patients who fell ill across the United States. FDA officials shared that information with state health officials during a telephone briefing this week, according to several officials who took part in the call. That same chemical was also found in nearly all cannabis samples from patients who fell ill in New York in recent weeks, a state health department spokeswoman said.

The vitamin E oil was probably added to increase the shelf-life of the products. You’ll have to find some other way to consume all those THC ampoules you stocked up on.
