I Told A Room Full Of Cops That I Broke The Law

I admitted to a crowd of law enforcement officers that I used illicit vapes smuggled by Chinese Communist-connected cartels.

You might not realize it, but up to 85% of vapes circulating in the United States are illicit. On Wednesday, a panel of experts detailed how the Chinese Communist Party and Mexican cartel groups manufacture and distribute illicit vapes flooding into the United States at a Daily Caller Live co-sponsored by Regulate Smarter.

“Around the year 2020 … the good old vape manufacturers in China and our best friends, the CCP, they basically decided to spread their proverbial cheeks and dump a substantial amount of toxic product on our country. Sound familiar? Ala fentanyl,” President of the Federal Law Enforcement Officers Association Foundation Jon Adler began. “So, in effect, what they decided to do, recognizing the value of selling this product, circumventing the FDA — no authorization, no testing— coming up with all sorts of packaging to create false images, employing what I call their Hansel and Gretel marketing plan to try and attract, or make this appealing rather, to children.”

Adler referenced popular brands like GeekBar, which employ fantastical flavors and colors in their illicit vapor products. GeekBar is labeled illicit because the FDA has not approved it for sale. Strawberry banana and watermelon ice are just two examples of entire product lines popular with minors and young adults.

“So they realized that they could use their good friends in the cartel and other means to sneak this product into the United States, using various networking opportunities — whether it’s the vape shops, bodegas and gas stations,” Adler continued. He said the CCP and its business partners “laugh all the way to the banks there that the CCP use” after smuggling vapes into the country.
