Teens Using E-Cigarettes For Marijuana Vaping



Modern parents have a lot to fear when it comes to teen drug use. A lot of parents that know the signs of drug use are able to save their child from becoming an addict. The key to helping is to first discover the drug use and then address the issue. Unfortunately, a lot of teens are able to hide some forms of drug use by using a device known as an E-cigarette. This device enables a user to vape Marijuana as well as hash oil and wax without the typical smell.

E-Cigarettes that are designed for Marijuana Vaping are being used by 1 out of 5 teens according to a study that was performed by Yale University. The number of high school and middle school children using electronic cigarettes for vaping has tripled from 2013 to 2014. Due to the increasing popularity of E-cigarette use among teens, the fact that this device can now be used to hide drug use is a scary thought for parents.

A lot of electronic cigarette vendors now offer the devices that are used to vape dried Marijuana leaves as well as hash oil and THC wax. The fact that there are few regulations on the sale of these products means that many children have easy access to these products. The hash oil looks similar to the electric cigarette oils containing nicotine, making it easy to use hash oil without anyone knowing the difference.

When adding the fact that the liquid hash oil is considered to be more potent than dried Marijuana, it is obvious that many teens will choose to vape hash oil.  Parents need to have discussions with their children about the dangers of using hash oil and other cannabis products. It helps when parents are familiar with the signs of drug use, and if they keep an eye out for E-Cigarettes in their child's belongings.

Children that have friends and family members that vape are more likely to pick up vaping, which can later turn into Marijuana Vaping and other cannabis use. If a parent discovers that their child is using any type of drug, the best thing to do is to seek professional help immediately. By seeking professional help parents can help to steer their children away from drug use and addiction.
