The Authors’ Own Words: The Dabbing Dilemma: A Call for Research on Butane Hash Oil and Other Alternate Forms of Cannabis Use

Stogner and Miller discuss what appears to be an emerging trend in marijuana use: “dabbing.” Dabbing consists of inhaling vaporized butane hash oil products– many of which are significantly stronger than flower cannabis. The authors suggest that research lags behind this growing trend and offer eight suggestions for future avenues of research. They argue that policy and health care practices related to dabbing may be inefficient until such time as the behavior and its effects are better understood.
