The sensationalized media coverage of cannabis concentrates like wax and shatter in the mid-2010s, framing them as a dangerous new drug threat despite being refined cannabis products.
// From the Episode
Early in the episode, Bubbleman discussed how mainstream media was reporting on wax and shatter as a 'new dangerous stuff' that scared the public. Chris Conrad confirmed that anti-cannabis groups were using the existence of concentrates as a fear-based argument against legalization, despite concentrates simply being a more efficient delivery method for the same plant compounds.
