Holy shit, yeah, I heard there were lottsa sketch places and products fudging the THC numbers with Vitamin E like how they contaminated baby milk in China with bullshit "protein". I really should get the brand names and read some reviews but I doubt that would be sold in the upscale weed store (it really is, like an Apple weed store pree much)
It was a specific product ("Honey Cut", a brand of vitamin E acetate) that was sold to black-market cartridge makers by a company based in Los Angeles. It was used as a diluent ("cut") that is thick enough to fool users into thinking they're getting pure cannabis extract. It doesn't affect measurement of THC concentration; unlike lab-tested legal extracts, black-marketeers just lie.
