Highlights

 

•Nationally representative surveys measure cannabis use and not the scope of cannabis consumption.
•Cannabis consumers use a range of products with varying potencies and modes of consumption.
•These product characteristics are necessary for understanding effects of cannabis consumption.
•Understanding how cannabis is consumed would improve clinical use and regulatory policies.
