Yeah it's a micro nutrient, don't know how I didn't make that connection ( I quit smoking years & years ago but grew commercially for 50+ medical patience for years).Manganese apparently is really important in weed production, so maybe they add a lot. Does the COA show the Mn level? If a liver issue NAC might help, and of course acetaminophen would hurt.
But I bet it's more likely linked to the damn cartridges he uses because almost no one smokes real weed anymore ?
"Investigators reported: “[T]his study … has … shown that commercially available electronic cannabis devices (ECD) are a potential source for inhalation exposure to metals. … [C]hromium, copper, nickel, as well as smaller amounts of lead, manganese, and tin migrate into the cannabis oil and inhaled vapor phase, resulting in a possible acute intake of an amount of inhaled metals above the regulatory standard of multiple governmental bodies. … It was shown that leaching after periods of time at ambient or elevated temperatures was responsible for the migration of metals from the ECD into the liquid. … The metal content of vaping aerosols decreased with the addition of terpenes to the cartridge liquid. At this time, the mechanism by which the addition of terpenes reduces these metal emissions is unknown, but future research is being undertaken to establish if this is a phenomenon unique to terpenes or if it is a general trait of less viscous liquids.”
