THC Vape Safety Information From FDA and CDC

THC vaping is not risk-free. CDC states that THC can impair memory, attention, decision-making and risk-taking, while cannabis vaping has been linked to lung injury.

Concentrated THC has health risks

CDC explains that oils and concentrates used in vaping often contain highly concentrated THC and may contain additives or contaminants. The effects of highly concentrated THC are not fully understood.

FDA warning about THC vaping products

FDA has advised consumers not to use vaping products containing THC, particularly products obtained from informal sources. FDA also advises consumers not to modify or add substances to vaping products.

Youth and pregnancy

Youth should not use vaping or cannabis products. FDA strongly advises against cannabis, THC and CBD use during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

Respond to concerning symptoms

Anyone experiencing cough, chest pain, shortness of breath or other concerning symptoms after vaping should seek medical care promptly. A verification result does not establish medical safety.

Legal status is not a safety claim

A product being legal or available in a location does not mean it is free from health risks. Health information should come from authoritative medical and public-health sources.
