via joints, pipes, blunts or bongs, other methods for administering cannabinoids include butane hash oil (“dabs”) and oral consumption (“edibles”), which pose risks that are associated with stronger and slower delivery, respectively, as well as with the inaccuracy in product labelling [6, 94, 147]. Alternatively, one form of consumption that may pose less risk for users in comparison to smoking involves the method of vaporizing cannabis, which is associated with fewer respiratory problems [44, 46, 60]. Depending on the route of administration, physical harms may differ slightly; however, these outcomes must be acknowledged regardless of the focus (i.e. therpauetic benefits or potential harms) in discussions of cannabis and mental illness.
