Chilliwack RCMP warns the public of benzodiazepines detected in vape juice containing cannabis and synthetic cannabinoids.

On June 29th Fraser Health issued a drug alert after benzodiazepines were detected in vape juice saying the juice that tested positive contained cannabis and suspected synthetic cannabinoids and was sold in refillable, unmarked and unbranded cartridges. There are reports that these illicit products are sold in clubs and bars, but it may be sold elsewhere.

The reported side effects are prolonged sedation, nausea, vomiting, and black outs. If you are with someone experiencing these symptoms, call 9-1-1 and stay with them. To avoid these toxic drugs, access government dispensaries to purchase cannabis vapes. Fraser Health also offers drug checking for fentanyl and other contaminates.

Anyone with information regarding where these vape cartridges, or similar looking products are being sold, please contact Chilliwack RCMP non-emergency line at 604-792-4611 or if you wish to remain anonymous, call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-8477 (TIPS) and quote Chilliwack file # 2023-26992.
