Xavier Fraser was left fighting for his life after taking only four puffs from a stranger’s vape.
He suddenly collapsed outside a nightclub.
He was enjoying a party with his friends in Brisbane when he was offered a vape.
At that time, he was told he was vaping pure marijuana but he didn’t know that it was a potentially deadly concoction of ketamine and synthetic fantasy.
His cousin, Freya Fraser, shared a heartbreaking photo of Xavier who developed a ‘life threatening condition.’ She issued a warning about the dangers of vaping.
“I’m not sure that most of us or at least I, knew just how serious the effects of the things going into them can be,” she wrote on Facebook.
“I want to do a shout out to everyone looking for a good time who doesn’t want to lose their life.
“Vapes are not necessarily dangerous… but the fact that anyone can put absolutely anything in them with significantly reduced fear of getting caught with a substance means that the likelihood of copping something that some fruitcake has concocted is profound.’
“Because it’s a vape and you have no idea what quantities of substance goes into them, you also have absolutely no idea how insanely potent they could be.”
Ms. Fraser said that Mr. Fraser was in extreme panic when he made to the club entrance. He approached a security guard then collapsed to the ground.
“Security thought he was heavily intoxicated and if weren’t for his friends having known, he may have been left there to lay in his own vomit, unable to move,” Ms. Fraser added.
“Within the hour his lungs had stopped working and he was no longer able to breathe for himself for several hours. He was conscious while he lost the use of his body and aware that he was in serious danger but could do nothing about it.”
She ended her post: “It only takes one time to lose your life.
“When it comes to vapes, you DO NOT have the excuse that you ‘take it in moderation’ or know that ‘it’s pure’ because you just don’t with these.
“Please, please, pleasssseee let this be the thing that you think of when you go to accept somebody’s offer next time you’re out.”
In the US, vaping has already caused six deaths.
