A southeast Wisconsin man is accused of making thousands of counterfeit vaping cartridges with THC oil.
THC is the active ingredient in marijuana. Kenosha County prosecutors say a 20-year-old man had 10 workers and they made cartridges that looked professionally done. They say they found about 185 pounds of marijuana, THC oil, and $20,000 dollars in the suspect’s home.
The arrest comes after about 450 cases in 33 states where vaping was linked to lung disease. It’s not known if the Wisconsin operation is connected to those cases.
