“…This is a time of significant technological innovation and commercialization regarding alternative modes of marijuana consumption, particularly in places like Colorado that have legalized marijuana (Budney et al, 2015;Debertin, 2014;MacCoun & Mello, 2015;Schauer et al, 2016;Schroyer, 2015;Walsh, 2013;Weiss, 2015). Specifically, vaporizers and edibles have increased in terms of their sales and their prominence in popular culture (Hopfer, 2014;MacCoun & Mello, 2015;Malouff et al, 2014;Schroyer, 2015).…”

“…Specifically, vaporizers and edibles have increased in terms of their sales and their prominence in popular culture (Hopfer, 2014;MacCoun & Mello, 2015;Malouff et al, 2014;Schroyer, 2015). Vaporizers are electronic devices that heat plant matter or marijuanabased oil and release a mist that is then inhaled (Budney et al, 2015;Malouff et al, 2014;Schauer et al, 2016). There has been a recent and substantial proliferation of companies selling different types of vaporizers (Schroyer, 2015).…”

ABSTRACT. Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of modes of marijuana consumption among Colorado youth and explore variation by demographics, access, substance use, and risk perceptions. Method: Data are from a 2013 survey of Colorado high school students (N = 25,197; 50.5% female). The outcome variable was usual mode of marijuana consumption (i.e., smoking, vaporizing, ingesting edibles, or other) among those reporting past 30-day marijuana use. Classification variables included sex, grade level, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, current alcohol and cigarette use, frequent marijuana use, early marijuana use (<13 years), perceived harmfulness, and perceived wrongfulness. We calculated prevalence estimates overall and by the variables listed above, and also conducted multinomial logistic regression models. Results: Findings indicate that 15% of Colorado high school students who use marijuana report that they usually use a mode of consumption other than smoking. Among students reporting past 30-day marijuana use, 85% said smoking was their usual mode of consumption. The remainder reported that their usual mode of consumption was vaporizing (6%), ingesting edibles (5%), or another method (4%). Boys, Whites, Asians, and 12th graders were the most likely to report vaporizing. High perceived harmfulness was associated with vaporizing or ingesting edibles. Conclusions: The majority of Colorado youth who use marijuana usually smoke it. Youth may be using vaporizers and ingesting edibles as a way to reduce the harm associated with inhaling combusted smoke. (J.

“…In Schauer et al, 7.6 % of current marijuana users in a US adult general population survey reported using 'vaporisers' (whether ENDS or specific cannabis vaporisers) to take marijuana [20]; this translates to approximately 0.5 % of the total population surveyed which is much lower than the reported use in the population surveyed here (5.9 %).…”

“…Devices are also being specifically marketed for vaping cannabis [14][15][16] and evidence is emerging of ENDS use to vape recreational drugs [17]. Several studies have shown that ENDS are being used to vape cannabis [18][19][20] with one study finding that vaporisers appealed to marijuana users, who perceive them as having harm-reduction, better taste and more effect from the same amount of marijuana. There are case reports of other drugs being vaped including acetylfentanyl [21,22] and synthetic cannabinoid receptor agonists (SCRA's) [23,24] as well as a news report of students vaping new psychoactive substances (NPS) with 6 users of 'Cloud 9' e-liquid in Detroit reported hospitalised [25].…”

Prevalence of Use of Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems (ENDS) to Vape Recreational Drugs by Club Patrons in South London

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction Electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS, often called e-cigarettes) are nicotine delivery devices that heat nicotine into vapour that is inhaled, a process called 'vaping'. Use eclipsed nicotine-replacement therapy (NRT) in 2014 but ENDS role in smoking cessation remains controversial. Safety has not been proven and there have been reports to US poison centres regarding potential ENDS-related nicotine toxicity. A further concern is use of ENDS to vape recreational drugs, but there is limited data to substantiate this. The aim of this study was to report on ENDS use to vape recreational drugs in patrons of a South London nightclub where high prevalence of recreational drug use has previously been shown. Methods A convenience sample of 101 participants was surveyed in March 2015 as part of a larger survey on drug use. Individuals were asked if they used ENDS to vape nicotine and/or other substances (and if so which substances). Results Ninety (89.1 %) of respondents were male with median age of 28 years . Eighty (79.2 %) currently smoked cigarettes; 20 (19.8 %) currently used ENDS for nicotine. Six (5.9 %) reported using ENDS to take other substances: 2 for 'liquid cannabis' and 4 did not elaborate on the substance(s) used. Of these 6, 3 were using ENDS to vape nicotine and 3 had never used them for nicotine. Conclusion 5.9 % of individuals in this sample reported using ENDS to vape substances other than nicotine. Further work is required in larger populations to determine how common this is, evaluate which agents are being vaped and to inform appropriate public education.

Between 2001 and 2013, marijuana use among US adults more than doubled, many states legalized marijuana use, and attitudes toward marijuana became more permissive. 1 In aggregated 2007-2012 data, 3.9% of pregnant women and 7.6% of nonpregnant reproductiveaged women reported pastmonth marijuana use. 2 Although the evidence is mixed, human and animal studies suggest that prenatal marijuana exposure may be associated with poor offspring outcomes (eg, low birth weight, impaired neurodevelopment). 3 The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommends that pregnant women and women contemplating pregnancy be screened for and discouraged from using marijuana and other substances. 4 Whether marijuana use has changed over time among pregnant and nonpregnant reproductive-aged women is unknown.
