Fake Muha Meds: Now All Over The Place

Muha Meds is a THC vape cartridge brand which has managed to stay squarely in our radar, without us saying much about it. Originally we were driven to conclude it as a fake brand altogether, but someone reached out to us claiming to speak for the brand and there seems to be some consistency to some of the carts out there according to many users.

UPDATE: 09/13/2021 – Allegedly, someone or something actually got a license through for Muha Meds in Michigan, of all places. Given that Michigan has become notorious for regulation problems, this isn’t that surprising.

For what it’s worth, we don’t find license information on the Michigan adult-use license establishment list for Muha Meds, and the claimed official muhameds.live is an Instagram account and a blank wall. There are 27 “official” websites claiming to represent Muha Meds than we can find with a quick domain search, so it’s anybody’s guess whom is even claiming this brand.

We’re calling “BS”! As with other long-running fakes like Big Chief and Lion’s Breath, by the time a cart brand has been faked around the world and back, it doesn’t matter if God Himself issues a license for it, it’s still always going to be untrustworthy. And when we say “around the world,” we mean “we found a public health warning about Muha Meds posted from a domain in Nigeria.”

UPDATE: 06/01/2020 – Somebody claiming to speak for the Muha Meds brand has communicated to us about these issues. We do a summary below.

At this point we think they’re an unregulated street brand, but a centrally processed brand nonetheless, as there is still no license listing for them.

But today, let’s just talk about the endless counterfeits of Muha Meds out there.

There are INFINITE fake Muha Meds dealers on social media!

Does that term “infinite” have a touch of hyperbole? Let’s just start posting #muhameds tag results from Twitter and let you be the judge.

You’ll note that “Muha Meds” has become a name so thoroughly dragged on the black market that it’s become another generic name for “black market carts,” thus it’s tagged on posts like this one showing DankWoods. Other brand names that are treated this way include many from our top fake carts list, as well as completely fake brands like Dank, Monopoly, and South Carts.

Here’s another one.

Here’s someone who literally has the Twitter account name “Muha Meds” posting fake carts, including the hashtags for #dankvapes #exoticcarts #smartcarts and #moonrocks.

Here’s another Muha Meds fake vendor, this one is “officialy plug 420” with a SnapChat icon on a Twitter account, who uses a hashtag “#brassknukles.” Can’t spell, can’t tell one social media service from another, but trust them with your lungs:

Let’s just say that’s a lot of fake cart accounts. Notice every one of those were under a different Twitter handle. You can search the hashtag #muhameds on Twitter and scroll for pages and pages and pages, never run out.

What’s the Instagram situation, can you guess?

Of course, they all claim that they’re the original and all the other accounts are the fakes. We could go on posting these all day.

Muha Meds carts are easier to find empty than full…

They’re sold everywhere online for prices like $25:

Here they are on DHGate, buy them wholesale bulk to fill with your own hot dog water:

Again, these go on forever too.

There is even a MuhaMeds.net which appears to be a completely separate operation.

Redditors have been inquiring about Muha Meds and remarking on their black market lack of quality.

At this point, it doesn’t matter if Muha Meds goes legit or not

The absolute sheer number of fake counterfeit packaging flooding the market, showing up in illegal states, completely obliterates the odds of ever finding a legit company and reliable supplier. The fact that this brand has operated for two years (WHOIS shows their domain was first registered in April of 2018) without licensing or legal protection has allowed counterfeiters to flood the market.

Perhaps there has never been a legitimately filled Muha Meds cart. Perhaps it was never intended as anything but a website and a way to sell empty carts to the distillate gun underworld.

We’ve reached out to the owner of the domain and inquired about licensing plans. We got no response.

UPDATE: 06/01/2020

Muha Meds did finally get back to us, or at least somebody who claims ownership of this brand. We find these communications puzzling on a few points, but we’ll pass a summary of points along to the community.

#1 – Muha Meds claims to be represented by PotBrothersAtLaw

We did reach out to this… firm? Somebody on the phone confirms they represent Muha Meds. Pot Brothers at Law has a whimsical website up where they offer legal services to both end cannabis users and cannabis businesses. As we mention before, the multiple claimants to Muha Meds, an inevitable side effects of a widely counterfeited brand, makes it difficult to confirm an owner even then.

Consider this: Anyone could go to the same firm and claim to be the owner of Dank Vapes. We’re surprised it hasn’t happened already. How would you know to even doubt somebody who claims to manage Dank, and if you did, how would you verify that they are the controlling owner of the brand? So at the least, Pot Brothers at Law could be just as in the dark as we are. The problem is that there is no owner of a company until there’s a license registered with some official source. It’s like the pink slip on a car. Without it, the car just belongs to nobody.

#2 – Muha Meds offers an explanation for their licensing state

The points summarize roughly to:

They’re trying to get “building plans approved”
They’re aiming for distribution and manufacturing license approval in Long Beach, CA
Plans are on hold due to Corona Virus
They claim the city says they can operate “regardless of the state” starting June 1st
They are developing their own in-house verification system

For one thing, we were looking at Muha Meds way back in December of 2019, before anything in the US was affected by Coronavirus. We also know of no authorization that anyone has to operate a facility without a license. In California, a state where you can’t throw a rock without hitting a licensed cannabis business, why would they tell one business to go ahead without a license?

For some context, Long Beach California shows 61 licensed facilities under CDPH (manufacturing) alone. Long Beach has a total city land area just shy of 51.5 square miles, which means more than 1 cannabis manufacturing / processing facility per square mile. With that kind of market density, it seems odd they’d be in such a rush to add the 62nd cannabis processing business that they’d waive a license requirement. They need space to do other things with the city too, like house residents and still have space left over to dock the Queen Mary.

In any case, we still can’t fault a brand too much for at least putting in this much effort. Compare to the average questionable cartridge brand we review here which has nothing but chirping crickets in response when we try to contact an owner. We will offer tentative encouragement to Muha Meds to get this situation straightened out, but in light of the tremendous counterfeit market based on their brand already, we will add “Good luck, because you’re going to need it!”

Unlicensed, unregulated brands like Muha Meds may contain anything

There is a deadly epidemic of lung illness tied to black market cart usage. Vaping-associated pulmonary injury has so far claimed 64 lives and hospitalized more than 2700 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.
