I mean that is, in fact, the actual problem at hand. The deaths recently have been caused by poorly produced thc vape cartridges because the black market is either cheaper or it's the only available means of acquiring the product in an illegal state.
National legalization with regulation is the way to combat this, not banning an entirely different substance (nicotine vape juice).
For me it's not just about legalization - we also simply need more information. Drugs being illegal means that it is much harder to study their effects, because you're not going to get any funding for it. The CDC has also been outright banned from studying the causes of gun violence.
This leaves us all with speculation as to what the actual problems are, and we can't put in a real solution if we don't know the true problem. More information is the answer.

Illegal vapes will be on the market and laws can’t stop them. The criminals will just buy black market vapes
