Crime World · HHC vapes and drug induced psychosis · 14 Sep 2026 podcast

Yeah, he had an awful experience.

And actually that kind of you know, there were some um vapes independently tested in Ireland and I think of seventy six vapes that they found uh from these shops, um I think eight contained like potent synthetic cannabides, uh ten contained c compounds.

And that the HSE said were associated with lung disease.

So, you know, for him, I think he was so alarmed because he said I I had no idea what I was taking.

Yeah.

I really thought I did, but anything could be in that was and obviously that showed up in the blood test.

Yeah, the research is like is incredible, Rainy.

So there was um at the University Hospital Galway, one in three people that are coming in or that came into the hospital with uh psychosis for the first time had used HHC beforehand.

Um and then another Irish survey talks about almost nine out of ten HHC users reported some kind of negative impact um from using the vapes.

And that could be anything from like

um panic, dizziness, hallucinations, and then full blown psychosis, which is an absolute break from reality where you're hearing things, seeing things.

Um and that's the huge increase that they've seen, this psych psychosis related illness.

Yeah.

Yeah, well that's what the research research is saying that it is more addictive than cannabis.

And it's funny as well, when I was speaking to Jacob, I actually sent him a picture of the vape that I got and he said, Yeah, that's really similar to the ones that I had been taken up to, you know, three or four weeks ago.

And even the packaging is like directed at younger people.

Yeah.

And he also mentioned the fact that there were some shops in the city centre where you could buy these vapes on tick.

So you could basically go in and write your name in a book and then pay the following week and kids are walking out with these vapes.
