Listen guys, everyone's
asking me about vaping.
Bro, I get it, vaping is dope.
It kinda tastes good.
Like, if you used to smoke cigarettes,
a lot of people have quit by vaping
and they feel like it's a safer thing
'cuz burning a cigarette is like,
we know you're gonna get cancer
or emphysema eventually,
the longer you do it.
And so vaping has really
kind of supplanted this,
a lot of young kids, though,
are vaping as the only thing they do
and becoming hooked on
nicotine-containing products,
so that's a downside.
But then the bigger downside
that's all over the news now
is people are apparently dying.
And I'm hearing this from
friends that are physicians.
They're seeing this lung disease,
severe, severe illness
and a few deaths already
from people who've been vaping.
Now, we don't know
exactly what's going on.
It seems to be associated
with CBD-containing products,
some kind of additive or adulterant.
Whether it's a Vitamin E acetate,
whether it's some spiking of
a synthetic marijuana
derivative in these products.
The bottom line is, the reason
I am telling people right now
don't vape until we figure this out,
is because we just don't know.
And the regulatory environment behind this
is so behind the innovation
in these products,
that now they're everywhere
but nobody really knows
how to regulate or test
them or do anything.
And it took us a long time to figure out
that cigarettes would slowly kill you.
And the question is,
is it going to take us
a long time to figure out that vaping
is either gonna slowly kill
you or kill you instantly,
depending on what adulterant
is in the vape juice?
So I think the safest thing to do is,
just smoke cigarettes because
they're totally natural.
I mean, American Spirits, right, right?
You guys giving me money, American Spirit?
I'm kidding!
The best thing to do is
try to quit all of that.
Don't start if you don't already smoke
and wait until we learn more.
We need to study it and honestly,
I'm not a big fan of regulation
but we need to regulate the hell out of it
because it can potentially
injure people if you don't!
So, here's the call to action.
Share this thing if you vape now
and you've quit smoking and you're vaping,
try to stick with products
that are kind of mainstream.
Don't go into that weird CBD non-
By the way guys, let's be honest.
The CBD stuff is placebo!
Unless it has a little
THC adultered in it,
which often is the case.
In which case, you're a little high!
That's the reason you're less anxious
or you have these affects
that you think you have,
or it's placebo.
The studies on CBD so
far are inconclusive.
So, stop listening to your bros,
maybe meditate, do some deep breathing.
There's a million ways to chill
that don't involve
putting your life at risk
immediately with something
we don't understand yet.
And look, maybe I sound like an old man.
It's 'cuz I am an old man.
I mean, look at me, I'm in front of white.
Who does that anymore?
All right, Z Dogg out.
