What’s really inside those vapes marketed as safe and sold on every corner? This is the story of an UNCOMMON hero working to expose the real ingredients in the unregulated vapes and cannabis products. You can learn more about what Michelle Peace and her team are uncovering at https://vcu.edu/uncommon Dr. Michelle Peace, a forensic toxicologist at Virginia Commonwealth University, is exposing the dangerous chemicals hiding in vaping and cannabis products — and the lack of oversight protecting the public. Her research has uncovered everything from deadly synthetic cannabinoids to brake cleaners which are inhaled by teens and adults alike. “It all started when a student walked into my office and said, ‘I think you need to look at these,’” Peace recalls. That moment launched a decade of research that now informs national policy and fuels grassroots efforts across the country. She’s testified before lawmakers, advised the FDA and CDC, and helped schools uncover what students are actually inhaling. “There’s no such thing as a safe vape,” Peace says. “Consumers have no idea what they’re putting into their lungs.” From classrooms to Congress — and as far as New Zealand — Peace’s mission is clear: arm communities with science, hold industries accountable, and protect the next generation.
