The prevalence of vaping CBD among e-cigarette users, particularly students, is a significant concern, according to the results of the 2022 National Youth Tobacco Survey. The study found that more than 1 in 5 students who use electronic cigarettes reported vaping CBD, a component of marijuana that does not produce the psychoactive effects associated with THC. Additionally, over 6% of students were unsure whether they had vaped CBD or not.[0]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The study, which took a nationally representative sample of around 28,000 American students, revealed that among the reported active e-cigarette users, 21.3% had vaped CBD, and 6.3% were uncertain of their CBD vaping status. These findings highlight the need for increased awareness among young people about the risks associated with vaping CBD and cannabis.<\/p>\n

Dr. Diane Tanaka, the medical director of the Teenage and Young Adult Health Center at Children's Hospital Los Angeles, emphasized that young people often underestimate the risks of vaping CBD and cannabis. She explained that many young users may not even realize they are vaping CBD, mistaking it for flavoring or simply thinking it produces a cool vapor.[0]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

The risks of vaping CBD among young people can stem from both the act of vaping itself and the marijuana component. Vaping is known to have adverse effects on lung health, and the potential long-term effects of CBD use remain unknown. It is crucial for young people to be educated about these risks and for evidence-based educational campaigns and interventions to be implemented to reduce harm.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the legality of delta-8 THC, a chemical compound derived from CBD, has been a topic of discussion. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) considers delta-8 THC synthesized from CBD to be federally illegal. This revelation confirms suspicions among experts that the DEA intends to classify all synthetic cannabinoids, including hemp-derived delta-8 THC, as controlled substances.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

CBD, or cannabidiol, is a compound found in cannabis and hemp that is gaining popularity for its potential therapeutic properties.[2]<\/a><\/sup> It has emerged as a natural alternative for health and wellness, and topical CBD products like creams and sprays are commonly used for various conditions.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

However, it is important to note that there is still much to learn about CBD. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) state that the long-term effects of CBD use and its different modes of consumption are still not fully understood. Research is ongoing to determine the potential benefits and risks associated with CBD use.<\/p>\n

In recent years, the popularity of CBD has skyrocketed as people seek natural alternatives for promoting overall well-being.[3]<\/a><\/sup> Unlike THC, CBD does not produce psychoactive effects, making it a more accessible option for many individuals.[4]<\/a><\/sup> THC-free CBD products have become increasingly popular, offering a wide array of potential benefits.[2]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

However, the rise in CBD vaping among middle and high school students is a cause for concern. A national U.S. survey revealed that vaping CBD is on the rise among young people, with serious risks involved. The increased availability, convenience, and discreetness of vaping devices have contributed to this trend.[5]<\/a><\/sup> It is essential to address this issue through evidence-based education, interventions, and public policy changes to mitigate potential harm among young users.<\/p>\n

While CBD has shown promise in managing various conditions, including chronic pain, it is essential to consider the potential risks and safety concerns associated with its use. CBD's impact on the liver, lungs, and male reproductive system requires further investigation.[5]<\/a><\/sup> As with any substance, responsible and informed use is crucial.<\/p>\n

In conclusion, the prevalence of vaping CBD among e-cigarette users, especially young people, is a significant concern. The risks associated with vaping CBD and cannabis are often underestimated by young users, highlighting the need for increased awareness and education. Additionally, the legality of delta-8 THC derived from CBD has been a topic of discussion, with the DEA considering it to be federally illegal. As the popularity of CBD continues to rise, it is crucial to prioritize research and regulation to ensure its safe and responsible use.<\/p>\n
