Authorities are investigating whether the alleged distribution of illegal THC cartridges is linked to the vaping-related deaths and illnesses across the country.
there have been at least 380 cases of lung illness reported from 36 states and on US territory.
Authorities discovered that THC-filled vaping devices were being distributed and used in high schools within the Waukesha community. Tyler later told authorities that he began his THC vaping cartridge business on Jan. 28, 2018, and posted a photo of it on Instagram on the same day. The operation in the Bristol condo involved an “assembly line” where 10 people used syringes to fill the empty cartridges with liquid THC. Tyler told authorities that he originally paid them $20 per hour to fill the cartridges, but later began paying them 30 cents a cartridge so that they would work harder and save him more money, the complaint states.
