Drug Trafficking: Vietnamese Police Capture Two Students in Possession
Three young men were arrested for drug trafficking in Vietnam; evidence of CBD drugs was found on them.

According to a report from Vietnamese media outlet Phapluatxahoi on December 22, the local police in Huai County encountered three young men who appeared suspicious during their patrol, prompting them to conduct an administrative inspection. However, upon seeing the police approach, one of them fled while the remaining two sat on an unlicensed motorcycle.

 

These two individuals have been confirmed to be born in 2005, and they admit to selling drugs to the fleeing man.

 

The evidence seized by the police includes two white plastic bottles containing CBD drugs, which were abandoned by the fleeing individual. Additionally, one of the individuals voluntarily handed over a white plastic bottle containing CBD drugs.

 

Subsequently, the police took both individuals, along with their evidence and means of transportation, back to the police station.

 

According to a preliminary drug analysis report from the local police department, four plastic bottles with black caps were found to contain blue e-liquid, which is classified as a type of illicit substance known as MDMB-4en-PINACA. This particular drug is typically converted into an essential oil format for use in e-cigarettes.

 

According to reports, both individuals involved are students studying at the same university. Currently, the incident is being investigated and handled by the police authorities.

U.S. Fifth Circuit Vacates NicQuid Vape MDO, Says FDA Comparative-Efficacy Standard Violated APA Procedures
According to VitalLaw on August 27, 2026, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit vacated an FDA marketing denial order (MDO) against NicQuid LLC, ruling that the agency’s comparative-efficacy standard for electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) applications had become a substantive rule requiring notice-and-comment rulemaking under the Administrative Procedure Act (APA). The court did not reject FDA’s authority to compare the public health benefits and risks of flavored vapes, but held that the agency could not establish a broadly binding standard through informal adjudications. The case was remanded to FDA for further proceedings.

JUUL Purchasers Ask Ninth Circuit to Preserve Antitrust Classes in Case Over Altria’s $12.8 Billion Investment
JUUL Purchasers Ask Ninth Circuit to Preserve Antitrust Classes in Case Over Altria’s $12.8 Billion Investment
Private antitrust litigation stemming from Altria's 2018 $12.8 billion investment for a 35% economic interest in JUUL is advancing before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Direct purchasers, indirect purchasers and indirect resellers of JUUL products filed answering briefs this week seeking to preserve class certifications granted by a California federal court in February. Altria and JUUL argue that individual consumers and large distributors differ too much in purchasing terms to remain in a single direct-purchaser class, while a separate dispute concerns whether California antitrust law can apply to indirect purchasers across 27 jurisdictions. A September trial has been put on hold during the appeal.
