Danielle Ompad, Ph.D.Associate Professor of Epidemiology/Associate Dean for Education, Department of Epidemiology, NYU School of Global Public HealthAccess and Use of Marijuana Products During the Pandemic: Preliminary Findings from an Online Survey Abstract: As marijuana is legalized or decriminalized by states, a variety of marijuana products have become more available in addition to bud/flower. New marijuana products made with THC, CBD, or marijuana extracts include a variety of edibles (e.g., gummies and other candies, baked goods, infused meals), beverages, disposable and reusable vapes, concentrates (e.g., dabs, wax, butane hash oil), and topicals (e.g., infused soaps, lotions, suppositories, patches, and oils). During the pandemic, anecdotal reports have emerged suggesting that marijuana products are harder to get in some settings and that marijuana use patterns may be impacted. We launched an online survey at the end of May that aimed to describe the use of a broad array of marijuana products; data collection is ongoing. We added questions to explore whether access to marijuana products changed because of the pandemic and whether there were changes in use patterns, including changes from smoked to edible products. In this talk, Dr. Ompad will share preliminary analyses of these data.
