Do you believe that addiction is a(n)... brain disease? inherited trait? learned behavior? social injustice? stigmatized condition? product of suboptimal healthcare? cultural phenomenon? example of unchecked supply and demand?

A @JAMA_current published study found that more than 11% of 12th graders - an "appreciable" # - have used hemp-derived Delta-8 THC. “We don’t know enough about these drugs, but we see that they are already extremely accessible to teens.”-Nora Volkow @NIDA jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Very excited to share our latest study published in @JAMA_current ! We used Monitoring the Future data to show that 1 in 9 US 12th graders used delta-8 in 2023, and use was higher in states with no cannabis legalization and no delta-8 regulations.
Δ8-THC use prevalence is appreciable among US adolescents and is a potential public health concern. ja.ma/49LA7vJ
