Study Finds More Americans Think Smoking Marijuana Is Safer Than Vaping It

A recent survey has found that 53 percent of respondents didn’t think there was any safe form of consumption. The survey posed the question to about 9,000 American adults: “There are plenty of ways to consume marijuana, but what’s the safest?”

Among those who did believe that some forms are safer than others, edibles topped the charts as the perceived safest at 25 percent. One surprising finding was that five times as many subjects believed that smoking cannabis (16 percent) was safer than vaping flower (3 percent) or oils (3 percent).

“As more states legalize recreational use of marijuana, further research assessing the safety of marijuana across its various forms is necessary to inform state regulations and public policy.” the researchers wrote.

Vaping Safer Than Smoking?

As reports began to appear of a potential linkage between lung injuries and use of nicotine and/or cannabis vaping products, NCIA’s Policy Council established a Safe Vaping
Task Force to provide a consistent response on behalf of the concerned members of the regulated cannabis industry. The Task Force’s mission was to communicate clearly in response to press reports and governmental actions and articulate the state-legal cannabis industry’s fulsome efforts to act with integrity as responsible actors.

The Task Force’s efforts transitioned to a new phase in late November 2019 when health experts confirmed that the proximate cause of many of the injuries and deaths were attributable to vitamin E acetate used as a thinning agent in illicit market products.

Today, it appears that public health experts have concluded that additives from the illicit market appear to be the primary cause of the lung injury crisis.  While that work continues, we attempt to clear up some of the myths that exist about vaping cannabis oil and offer explanations for other potential dangers and strategies for minimizing risk.

Ultimately, one thing is clear: we must stop the flow of unregulated and untested products to consumers from the illicit market. That is the best solution to the vaping crisis, which is not likely to dissipate unless we take swift action to put illegal and unscrupulous operators out of business. That effort will take a collaborative approach, with law enforcement,
state-legal cannabis businesses, state cannabis taxing and licensing agencies, providers of anti-counterfeiting technology and others working in concert.
