目的：描述用电子烟（e-cigarettes）或电子蒸发器（e-vaporizers）吸食大麻。方法：2013-2014年网络调查。参与者是11名用电子烟“蒸发”大麻的人和44名用电子蒸发器蒸发大麻的人，他们在网上注册。结果：大多数参与者是男性（78%）。他们平均使用电子烟6天，电子蒸发器50天来吸食大麻。目前的电子烟用户每周2天吸食大麻，而蒸发器用户每周6天吸食大麻。在这些装置中，他们大多插入大麻芽和油，而不是大麻或蜡/丁烷蜂蜜油。吸烟和吸食大麻的双重用户目前每周吸食5个关节，而在他们开始吸食大麻之前每周吸食14个关节（p = 0.004）。一半的参与者（45%）报告说，vaping大麻帮助他们停止或减少他们的总大麻使用，37%的人认为它对他们的大麻使用没有影响，6%的人认为它增加了大麻。Vaping大麻被认为比吸烟更健康，更离散（气味更少）。缺点包括口干和较少的积极大麻的影响。结论：通过电子烟或电子蒸发器吸食大麻是一种罕见的行为，以前几乎没有记录。电子烟似乎不是使用大麻的一种非常有吸引力的方式。(C)2015 S.

Aims: To describe cannabis 'vaping' with electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) or electronic vaporizers (e-vaporizers). Methods: Internet survey in 2013-2014. Participants were 11 people who 'vaped' cannabis with e-cigarettes and 44 people who vaped cannabis with e-vaporizers, enrolled online. Results: Most participants were men (78%). They had used e-cigarettes for 6 days and e-vaporizers for 50 days on average to vape cannabis. Current users of e-cigarettes vaped cannabis on 2 days/week versus 6 days/week for users of evaporizers. In these devices, they mostly inserted cannabis buds and oil rather than hashish or wax/butane honey oil. Dual users, who both smoked and vaped cannabis, currently smoked 5 joints/week compared to 14 joints/week before they started to vape cannabis (p = 0.004). Half the participants (45%) reported that vaping cannabis helped them stop or reduce their total cannabis use, 37% that it had no impact on their cannabis use, and 6% that it increased it. Vaping cannabis was perceived as healthier and more discrete than smoking it (less odor). Disadvantages included dry mouth and fewer positive cannabis effects. Conclusions: Cannabis vaping via e-cigarettes or e-vaporizers is an infrequent behavior that was previously almost undocumented. E-cigarettes do not appear to be a very appealing way to use cannabis.
