This article examines the available literature on consumption of concentrated THC, focusing on potential consequences of concentrate use among youth. Various methods for consuming concentrated THC, including ingestion of edibles, vaping, and dabbing, are discussed, along with associated risks of each consumption method. Recommendations for health professionals are provided.
