Mull it over: cannabis vaporizers and harm reduction

Addiction. 2015 Nov;110(11):1709-10. doi: 10.1111/add.13139.

Abstract

Legalization of cannabis is likely to lead to greater use. Balanced regulation of potentially less harmful modes of administration, such as vaporizers, is needed. Further research is warranted not only on the direct health effects of vaping cannabis, but also on its potential to decrease co-administration of tobacco with cannabis.

Keywords: Cannabis; e-cigarettes; public health; vaping.
