Here we go over Buddah Bear, which turns out is a black market vape cartridge company. Buddah Bear carts are just packaging. They may have THC oil, but they are not filled from a single source. Check out this guide and pictures below for more in depth information.
Just look at the Reddit sightings alone:
Well, it isn’t that often that we get a test for an unregulated brand cart right out of the gate. Of course, given the nature of the black market, it doesn’t mean much in the general scheme of things, but we know one 1-gram concentrate cartridge on January 3 2019 tested dirty for a pesticide at 29x the reporting limit. Thanks and a tip o’ the cap, dabpengod on Instagram.
Buddah Bear packaging remind us of the most notorious black market brands: Cart Toons, Monopoly Carts, Cereal Carts, and most especially Dank.
The always-dependable YouTuber “iSmokeUnlicensedCarts” is still surviving and has tried Buddah Bear.
YouTuber “Spark Plug” also gets his paws on a Buddah Bear
.The main tag, notwithstanding whoever also nicknames their kid that, has extensive Buddah Bear images and footage. The fact that multiple Instagram users post about Buddah Bear indicates that this is a packaging-only brand, widely distributed and filled with whatever mystery oil by whomever.
There’s much more: The tags #buddahbearcarts and #buddahbearbrand (ha ha ha) also yield hundreds of hits. This is worth a few more shots, because it shows how varied the packaging is and therefore not regulated or controlled.
There is also a Facebook account called – they persist in this lie – “Buddah Bear Cannabis Brand.” It’s a very active channel which also shows sour gummy candy with Buddah Bear packaging. This Facebook account even brazenly shows contact info including a phone number (949) 532-9719 and an email. The phone number reverse-lookup tells us Santa Ana, California, a long way from the Texas locations those Reddit comments were reporting sightings in.
Back on Instagram, there is also an “official” account called “buddahbearbrandd” – note the double-D on the end – which is set to private and links to a website you’d think we would have found earlier…
In what has become an indelible pattern, we found a QR code off Buddah Bear packaging which goes to non-compliant testing at a lab.
This Redditor recorded a video originally to single out sketchy events at some kind of contest involving Buddah Bear. That in itself might be a story for a different day, but later in the video you see a QR code flash by for a couple frames. We saved it right here:
That link goes to this Bel Costa lab results page. Sure enough, it shows the quality assurance test, which is a single-sample test for which anyone can walk in, not a California Compliance test. Right at the bottom of the lab test page it says “* For quality assurance purposes. Not a California compliance certificate.”
As we explain here, California Compliance testing results are supposed to be pasted on the cart. QA / R&D tests are NOT supposed to be released to the public as an assurance of quality or safety. California Compliance requires you to test an entire batch of oil at once, which the laboratory hand-selects samples from.
What does it say??? “Coming soon!” read: NEVER! Somebody shelled out the $15 domain registration and has maintained it since, according to the whois command, 2018-07-18, and it currently stays up until 2020-07-18. That’s a lot to spend to try to stake a claim in a brand name already busted wide open and scattered across the horizon.
There is a deadly epidemic of lung illness tied to black market cart usage. Vaping-associated pulmonary injury has so far claimed 42 lives and hospitalized more than 2000 users. Unregulated vape carts could contain heavy metals like lead, pesticides, cut such as Honey Cut, or simply bunk. Or they could be fire if you’re lucky. But a lot of people in the hospital right now weren’t lucky.

Attention!!!! The cart that was tested failed. PERIOD. Just because it gets you high doesn't mean it's safe. BBB is a black market company even the reps will tell you that. I can connect you to a verified bbb rep. if needed to speak to a rep.
i like it very much you provide info in your article.
Hey there! I just wanted to drop a short comment about this vaporizer. I must admit that Da Buddha is top notch vaporizers I've ever used. The design is outstanding, and the vapor production is stellar. I particularly love how easy it is to use and clean. If you're looking for a high-quality vaporizer, I strongly recommend giving Da Buddha a try. You won't be let down.

I just like the helpful information you provide in your articles
I truly appreciate your technique of writing a blog. I added it to my bookmark site list and will
I found budah Bear carts here in Dallas from a friend for no charge at all and I’ve smoked 3 carts so far and all the times I smoked it’s been getting me high. I haven’t bought actual weed in almost 2 months. After doing this research I won’t be getting these carts because I can just smoke regular weed like I did before, I don’t need the risk of a possible pesticide fake.
The ones I get seem to be pretty good quality. The taste is great, the buzz is great too. Mine are supposedly made by a “Chinese guy in Cali” that my dealer deals with personally.
Thanks for commenting! Glad they are at least working for people and not total boof
Idk legit or not the Buddha bear shatter has been on point in ohio alot better then any ive gotten in kentucky or tennessee
Cudicollectables are selling them he has a Reddit forum and a website cudicollectables.com he does not care if people get sick
I use buddah bear DAILY & if it wasnt for them i would b taking xanex for anxiety, percocet for my injured shoulder that is in constant pain and sleeping pills to shut my mind off and get some rest. I have never gotten sick and every single cart helped me. I personally geg better results from the indica strains than the sativa but its all about personal preference & what works for what ails you. They are definitely real.
Great for anxiety, doesn’t really hurt me, been smoking them for the past year and a half.
