New analysis finds link between vaping and cannabis use in teens, young adults

Teens and young adults who use electronic cigarettes are significantly more likely to use cannabis as well, according to a new study co-authored by a Canadian researcher.

Pediatrician Nicholas Chadi's analysis of previous research, published in JAMA Pediatrics, found that the likelihood of marijuana use was three to four times higher among youth who vaped.

One of the key findings showed the risk for younger adolescents aged 12 to 17 was higher than for young adults aged 18 to 24 years.

"It's an important discovery for us," said Chadi, who is now based at Montreal's Ste-Justine Hospital but conducted the research during a previous posting in Boston.

Opiates killed 47,600 people in 2017 in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). That year, the epidemic was declared a “public health emergency” by President Donald Trump.

Nearly two-thirds of Americans support marijuana legalization, a new IBD/TIPP poll found, and nearly one-fifth of investor households consumed cannabis in the past six months as more marijuana stocks appear on exchanges.

Consistent with polling elsewhere, 63% of Americans said marijuana should be legalized. Support for marijuana legalization was highest in the West, at 72%, and lowest in the Northeast but still a majority at 55%.
