Dabbing? Vaping? Gravity bongs?
The ways in which marijuana is being used are always changing. Be prepared to have productive conversations with your teen about marijuana with the new guide that explains how people are using the drug today.
Not only is marijuana more potent than it was when today’s parents were growing up, it is also being used in new ways aimed at getting a stronger and longer-lasting high.

WHAT ARE MARIJUANA EDIBLES?
Marijuana concentrates, with a high concentration of THC, can also be mixed into a wide variety of foods such as candy, baked goods, and even sauces. These are called edibles.
Edibles, once created for medical marijuana users who did not want to smoke, are finding their way to youth due to their appealing forms and packaging. In states with legalized recreational marijuana, edibles are popular products to use and easy to hide.
In Colorado in 2014, almost 3 million units of marijuana-infused edibles were sold through the recreational program.
It looks like candy. . . but police say marijuana-laced gummies are sending local children to the hospital. Authorities are asking parents to take this warning seriously!!
