Healio (9/5, Bascom) reports, “In the United States, the prevalence of adolescents vaping CBD has risen in recent years, highlighting the need for educating youth about the potential harms,” researchers concluded in the findings of a 28,291-participant cross-sectional study published online in JAMA Network Open. The study reveals that the “prevalence of youth vaping CBD among U.S. adolescents” appears “high, with nearly 800,000 U.S. middle and high school students reporting past-month vaping CBD.” It also “raises concern that a notable proportion of adolescents are uncertain about whether they have engaged in vaping CBD or not,” perhaps because of the “lack of consistent quality assurance standards and the mislabeling of CBD products in the market.”
