Abstract

Introduction: The evolving landscape of laws and policies related to cannabis can inform patterns and trends in adolescent cannabis use. Today, a wide variety of cannabis products and alternatives are available in the legal and illicit markets. Harms associated with their use may vary depending on the amount and type of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) they contain. Few studies have examined the awareness of and use of these different cannabis products among adolescents.

Methods: Our study examined patterns of cannabis use in adolescent patients of an urban pediatric addiction clinic.

Results: Most adolescents seen at the clinic use multiple cannabis products, and many adolescents use cannabinoid derivatives such as delta-8 and delta-10 THC.

Discussion: These results highlight the need for providers to explore in depth the various cannabis products used by adolescents, educate adolescents on the products, especially due to unknown risks associated with cannabinoid derivatives, and advocate for further regulation of alternative cannabis products.

导言：与大麻有关的法律和政策的演变情况可以为青少年使用大麻的模式和趋势提供信息。今天，合法和非法市场上有各种各样的大麻产品和替代品。使用大麻的危害可能因其所含四氢大麻酚（THC）的数量和类型而异。很少有研究调查青少年对这些不同大麻产品的认识和使用情况。方法：我们的研究检查了城市儿童成瘾诊所青少年患者的大麻使用模式。结果：大多数在诊所看到的青少年使用多种大麻产品，许多青少年使用大麻素衍生物，如δ -8和δ -10四氢大麻酚。讨论：这些结果突出了提供者需要深入探讨青少年使用的各种大麻产品，教育青少年了解这些产品，特别是由于大麻素衍生物的未知风险，并倡导进一步监管替代大麻产品。
