But it just doesn't work that way.
Even if you're testing, like if you were to test a sample of cannabis or one of those tabs to try to figure out, well, is it really 15 milligrams?
Is it really 100 milligrams?
The testing that you need to do that is very sophisticated and requires other reagents and chemicals and devices customized for that task.
And it's the same with testing someone's blood to determine what level of 7-OH or 7-OH metabolites they had in their bloodstream at the time.
So it's just such a new thing, and it's so poorly understood that we don't have a good grasp on how many people are suffering from it, how many people are addicted to it, how many people are dying from it.
But if you look at, there's a video that Mark Wayne Mullen did just in July where he's talking specifically about 7-0-H.
He says it's a $9 billion marketplace.
I don't know where
that he got that number from, but he talks about how there was somebody who was clearly close to him who had an opioid addiction and went through recovery, got clean, and then started to bear the telltale signs of not being clean, yet they were doing urinalysis and there was no presence of opioid in their urine.
They were passing their drug screens.
but they looked like they were still using some kind of an opioid, and it was because they were using 7-OH.
No, I don't know anybody who's tried it.
Well, actually, I'll take that back.
There was a website that used to exist, which has been taken down now called kush.com.
And there is a product that they combine THC oil with 7-OH in a form that's vapable.
At the time this website existed, you could 100 percent legal for $7,500, $8,000 by a kilo brick, looks just like hashish of 70H infused THC oil that could be manufactured into vape pens.
You could sell those as a THC vape pen and someone could unknowingly be vaping an opioid product.
And I learned about this later, but as a result of publishing the documentary with Tucker and doing some of the reporting on this topic, I have lots of parents and sources who are emailing me and asking me questions about things.
And one family that came to me had a daughter who purchased a vape pen on Snapchat.
