					<description><![CDATA[Last week I showed that a third of vapes sold as THC in the UK contain synthetic cannabinoids. So I pulled 89,000 drug-checking results from a country where cannabis is legal to see what happens to the spice when the weed comes with a label. Short answer: it doesn&#8217;t go away. It goes somewhere worse. ... <a title="In Britain the Spice is in the Weed.

					<description><![CDATA[We pulled every cannabis vape tested this year by the UK&#8217;s only public drug-checking service. A third contained cannabis. A third contained spice.
