Vaping technology and its risks for youth health 🚬
Vapes, designed to heat liquids without combustion, allow discreet inhalation of nicotine or cannabinoids. In this case, cannabis oil was vaporized at high temperatures, releasing psychoactive compounds. The minors experienced dizziness and confusion, typical symptoms of a high dose. Experts point out that the lack of odor and small design facilitate its hidden use, complicating early detection in educational centers.
New record: marijuana is now vaped at recess 😱
Times seem to be changing: before, students hid joints in their pockets; now they use devices that look like USB drives. They call it innovation. Four kids ended up at the doctor's due to cannabis vaping, but the school had it all under control. Good thing technology is advancing, because otherwise, who knows how they'd manage to innovate during the next recess.
