VAPING CRISIS HITS JUUL'S POT COMPANY

When Juul Labs and Pax Labs split from one company into two in 2017,
they seemed destined to reach new heights.

Juul would conquer the e-cigarette industry. Pax would dominate the
marijuana vaping business.

Their fortunes, however, quickly diverged. Juul found itself under
fire for its alleged role in getting kids hooked on nicotine after
pitching itself as a safe alternative to cigarettes; Pax largely
escaped scrutiny as the burgeoning cannabis market made the company
irresistible to investors.

But that honeymoon period might be ending for Pax.
