    Abstract To assess the exposure of patrons and workers to secondhand cannabis smoke in the smoking lounge of a cannabis store, we measured airborne PM₂.₅, cannabinoids, and nicotine in a cannabis store and a nearby coffee shop. The PM₂.₅ concentration was measured with laser photometers. Air samples were collected on filters. Cannabinoids were quantified by liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectroscopy, and nicotine was quantified by gas chromatography. Activity and demographic data were recorded. The average PM₂.₅ concentration over nine experiments conducted between September 2018 and August 2019 was 840 μg/m³ (standard deviation of 674 μg/m³). Concentrations of THC, CBD, and CBN in the particulate matter averaged 79.0 μg/m³, 0.708 ng/m³, and 8.60 ng/m³, respectively. Nicotine concentrations were below the level of quantification. Although a variety of consumption methods were observed, 91% of the observed consumption events were smoking. The business installed a ventilation system halfway through our study. Before the ventilation system was installed, the average PM₂.₅ was 905 μg/m³; afterward, it was 795 μg/m³. This 12.2% decrease was not statistically significant. Our results show that smoking cannabis indoors can create high concentrations of particulate air pollution, which is known to cause adverse health effects.

    Abstract Background: Marijuana leaf vaporizers, which heat plant material and sublimate Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol without combustion, are popular alternatives to smoking cannabis that are generally perceived to be less harmful. We have shown that smoke from tobacco and marijuana, as well as aerosol from e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products, impair vascular endothelial function in rats measured as arterial flow-mediated dilation (FMD).
    Methods and results: We exposed 8 rats per group to aerosol generated by 2 vaporizer systems (Volcano and handheld Yocan) using marijuana with varying Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol levels, in a single pulsatile exposure session of 2 s/min over 5 minutes, and measured changes in FMD. To model secondhand exposure, we exposed rats for 1 minute to diluted aerosol approximating release of uninhaled Volcano aerosol into typical residential rooms. Exposure to aerosol from marijuana with and without cannabinoids impaired FMD by ≈50%. FMD was similarly impaired by aerosols from Yocan (237 °C), and from Volcano at both its standard temperature (185 °C) and the minimum sublimation temperature of Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (157 °C), although the low-temperature aerosol condition did not effectively deliver Δ-9-tetrahydrocannabinol to the circulation. Modeled secondhand exposure based on diluted Volcano aerosol also impaired FMD. FMD was not affected in rats exposed to clean air or water vapor passed through the Volcano system.
    Conclusions: Acute direct exposure and modeled secondhand exposure to marijuana leaf vaporizer aerosol, regardless of cannabinoid concentration or aerosol generation temperature, impair endothelial function in rats comparably to marijuana smoke. Our findings indicate that use of leaf vaporizers is unlikely to reduce the vascular risk burden of smoking marijuana.
