US EditionAdolescent Vaping of THC, CBD and Synthetic Cannabinoids Rises Sharply Between 2021 and 2023
- A national analysis led by Jack Chung examined vaping patterns among 69,899 American youth aged 11 to 18 between 2021 and 2023, finding a notable rise in the use of cannabis-related substances, including delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, and man-made cannabinoid compounds.
- This increase happened amid growing adolescent uncertainty about substances vaped and the continued rise of SC use accessed mainly through unregulated, illicit markets lacking safety controls.
- The study found females now vape THC, CBD, and SCs more than males, and synthetic cannabinoids are lab-synthesized to mimic natural cannabinoids but may cause intense, unpredictable health effects.
- Jack Chung, the lead investigator, reported a marked rise in the use of vaping products containing THC, CBD, and synthetic cannabinoids among teenagers between 2021 and 2023. Co-investigator Gary Chan emphasized that there remains a limited understanding of the potential long-term health consequences associated with cannabis vaping.
- The findings emphasize the critical need for focused health initiatives, stricter regulation, and customized harm reduction strategies to safeguard young people from the health dangers and misinformation associated with vaping.
