Abstract: In the past year, the Greater Manchester Local Drugs Information System (GMLDIS) have continued to receive regular reports of school-aged children becoming unwell and requiring emergency medical support, including ambulance callouts and subsequent admission to A&E departments, after using products sold to them as THC vapes. These reports first emerged in 2019 (see appendix) and were initially confined to the areas of Bury, Oldham and Rochdale. However, over the last two years, reports of children becoming unwell after using what they purchased as THC vapes have increased and have originated from areas across Greater Manchester.
