Young adults' familiarity with different cannabis product terms: the need for standardized cannabis surveys.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cannabis legalization has resulted in the proliferation of cannabis products. Participants' familiarity with terms for these products may have implications for assessment, as unfamiliarity with particular terms may result in under-reports of use.

Methods

A convenience sample of 861 college students from one U.S. university completed a survey in the spring of 2020 about their familiarity with a variety of cannabis product terms and use of a variety of cannabis products.

Results

Participants varied in their familiarity with cannabis product terms. For example, with regard to terms for cannabis concentrates with very high concentrations of THC, 85% of participants reported being familiar with the term "wax pen or THC oil," but only 27% reported being familiar
