Inhaling cannabis through a vaping device has more of an effect on users as compared to smoking it, a new study finds.
Led by researchers at Johns Hopkins Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit in Baltimore, the study found that vaping cannabis causes more negative drug effects and cognitive impairment in users, a Daily Mail report said.
In the study, researchers conducted six sessions — each lasting 8.5 hours — where 17 participants were asked to consume cannabis through smoking or through vaping either 0 milligrams, 10mg or 25mg of THC — the psychoactive component found in cannabis that causes the “high” effect.
The participants were then asked to fill out a questionnaire in the dark in order to avoid bias and per a report by NBC News, they were asked to rate items that assessed the extent to which they felt drug effects, pleasant drug effects and unpleasant drug effects.
