[quote=Anonymous]OP, I mean this kindly, but you need to find out what your kid is vaping. Its not a once size fits all. If your kid is "vaping weed", this is not the same as when kids would smoke a join when we were in high school. A vap or e-pen uses cartridges filled with substances, like THC oil. This is MUCH more potent than a joint... in most cases.

"Teens are vulnerable and at risk
Contamination is not the only danger vaping weed poses, says Dr. Deepak Cyril D'Souza, a psychiatry professor at Yale who's researched the effects of THC on mice for three decades. He says the potency of THC in the average vape pen is also a major problem.

"The story about concentrates is that the amount of THC that's present in these concentrates is far in excess of what average weed contains," D'Souza says. Whereas the average cannabis flower contains about 17% or 18% THC, the concentration in vapes can reach 95% or higher. And that, D'Souza says, has other implications for public health, especially among teenagers and young adults, who are at greater risk of both addiction and marijuana-induced psychosis.

"The young brain is much more vulnerable to addiction; concentrates are more likely to get people addicted to it," he says. And as marijuana goes more mainstream, he says, that's a message that's often drowned out."
