Скачать или смотреть DPS News Conference: Marijuana Wax Seizures Surge Significantly in Minnesota

The Department of Public Safety held a news conference to discuss the significant rise in marijuana wax seizures in Minnesota. Public safety and health care officials discussed the dangers of using and manufacturing marijuana wax and how to recognize the product.

Marijuana wax is a street name for marijuana concentrates. It contains high levels of THC (30 – 90 percent) and the manufacturing process can be extremely dangerous.

In just the first quarter of 2016, the Northwest Metro Violent Crime Enforcement Team (VCET), seized more than 12 pounds of marijuana concentrates.

Officials from the Northwest Metro VCET also had different types of marijuana concentrates available for the media to view. Educating parents and the public on what the product looks like is important to help fight the growing marijuana wax problem.
