A few months earlier, there were troubling signs of other contaminated CBD products, all the way on the other side of the country. A researcher at
Virginia Commonwealth University heard about a person who felt extremely high after using a CBD vape pen. Alarmed, the researcher-Michelle Peace,
Ph.D., associate professor in the department of forensic science-and her team decided to test the product to see what was going on. "There was nothing
unusual looking about the products," she says. But her testing showed that, as in Utah, the vaping liquid contained a dangerous form of synthetic
cannabinoid. In this case, it was 5-fluoro MDMB-PINACA or 5F-ADB, a compound that can trigger paranoia and panic attacks, increase heart rate and
blood pressure, and cause convulsions, organ damage, and even death, according to the Drug Enforcement Agency. And the test found something else, too:
One product contained over-the-counter cough medicine dextromethorphan, which has a reputation, especially in teens, for being able to get users high.
