Modes of cannabis use: A secondary analysis of an intensive longitudinal natural history study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

There is a paucity of research on modes of cannabis use (e.g., joint vs. blunt), and further, little consensus on how to accurately assess both modes of use and route of administration. This secondary analysis used a longitudinal design with data collected daily to characterize mode of cannabis use.

Methods

Each day for 84 days, participants reported on mode of cannabis use (i.e., joints, blunts, pipes/vaporizer and food) using an interactive voice response system. We report on single and poly-use of modes across study days and weeks and examine characteristics associated with different modes of use.
