Why don't they name the brands that did test positive? They mention Dank Vapes, but certainly there were others.

  They do. It is in the embedded PDF on the site.

        It seems to have been moved to https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6433147/ https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6433147/ but I can't figure out how to download the PDF on this one. There is a GIF version which I've re-hosted: https://imgur.com/a/KYywfCQ https://imgur.com/a/KYywfCQ

  Are there such things as brands on the black market? Any producer can imitate another producer's product.

    The article states that it is easy to actually buy empty carts and even real branded packaging. Why anyone would sell that is insane... "One of the shops visited by NBC News in Los Angeles sold packaging for Dank Vapes Gorilla Glue, the same brand of vape that Castillo was using before he landed in the hospital ICU. "

      There's no such thing as a legit "Dank Vapes" cartridge. The "brand" only exists as packaging for black-market cartridges. You can buy the cartridges and "branded" boxes by the hundreds on AliExpress.

        You could even buy them on Amazon(up until a few days ago, havent checked lately.)

        Further reading: https://www.inverse.com/article/58581-dank-vapes https://www.inverse.com/article/58581-dank-vapes THIS appears to be the problem, or a sizable portion of it anyway. The media sensationalizes, the officials implement draconian bans, and none of it addresses the actual issues it's intended to combat.

          Wow, this is a much better article; it even calls the myclobutanil connection, and a month earlier than NBC's story to boot.
