Army: 2 deaths, 60 hospitalizations blamed on vaping oils

The U.S. Army is warning about the dangers of vaping synthetic cannabinoid oil after about 60 soldiers and Marines in North Carolina and 33 troops in Utah experienced serious medical problems in January. In a Monday public health alert, the U.S. Army Public Health Center said military personnel have suffered headaches, nausea, vomiting, palpitations, dilated pupils, dizziness, agitation and seizures.

All the symptoms are associated with synthetic cannabinoids. Two Marines have died in accidents blamed on synthetic cannabinoid-induced seizures.

"This problem has the potential to spread quickly across the Army," the alert said.

Army regulations ban the use of so-called CBD oil or any products derived from marijuana, so some soldiers are using synthetic replacement oil.

    how to efficiently transdermally ingest strong drugs that are soluble in dimethylsulfoxide (dmso) and anhydrous ethanol.
    dissolve your dose in .05ml of warm (+-50c) EtOH.
    add 0.1ml of dmso .
    (do not use nitryl gloves they are soluble in DMSO and they get into the blood stream and it quite dispel, use glassware, real rubber if you need a dropper and most importantly no glove)
    rub the solution on a clean, ideally hairless, patch of skin until its gone.
    Bravo, your dose is now into your blood stream

    To make anhydrous etoh you need everclear (94.6% ethanol) and a molecular sieve. A molecular sieve sounds fancy but any thing that absorb water and let ethanol go through will do. I flow the etoh trough a coffee filter filled with grinded horticultural perlite that I change between each pass. Using a makeshift sieve it is easy to go to 99%etoh....
