TY - JOUR PY - 2019// TI - Patterns of co-occurring modes of marijuana use among Colorado high school students JO - Journal of Adolescent Health A1 - Schneider, Kristin E. A1 - Tormohlen, Kayla N. A1 - Brooks-Russell, Ashley A1 - Johnson, Renee M. A1 - Thrul, Johannes SP - 807 EP - 809 VL - 64 IS - 6 N2 - PURPOSE: The purpose of the study was to understand how adolescents concurrently use different modes of marijuana consumption.

METHODS: Using data from the 2017 Healthy Kids Colorado Survey, we examined how modes of marijuana use (smoking/ingesting/vaping/dabbing/other) co-occur. We estimated the prevalence of all combinations of these modes among adolescents who reported past 30-day marijuana use (n = 3,618). We then estimated the prevalence of any use of each mode by each mode usually used.

RESULTS: Forty-one percent reported only smoking, another 10% reported smoking and dabbing, and 9.8% reported smoking and ingesting. Only about 10% used a combination of modes that did not include smoking. Smoking was the most common additional mode for all other usual modes of consumption.

CONCLUSIONS: Smoking in combination with dabbing and/or ingesting were the most common multimode patterns of use. Nearly all adolescents who use marijuana smoke some or most of the time.
