(Medical-NewsWire.com, June 22, 2015 ) Denver, CO -- According to the BillingsGazette on June 15th dabbing in Billings has resulted in the hospitalization of three young men aged 18-21. Dabbing is becoming more prevalent throughout the nation with the rise of marijuana legalization. Those engaging in preparing the substance for "dabbing" involves treating marijuana with butane gas and a blowtorch, in order to extract a potent THC substance that is directly smoked. In some instances, users simply inhale the gas produced by the process. Pediatrics Journal released an article today outlining the dangers of the new-found marijuana craze. The Billings Gazette quotes John M. Stonger, "The process of creating these products is extremely dangerous because butane is flammable and volatile, and a number of fires, explosions, and severe burns have been attributed to home blasting,"
Drug and Alcohol Rehab Denver is a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility located in Denver. The drug treatment facility stresses users to avoid the dabbing process entirely to prevent hospitalizations, and heightened addiction rates of marijuana. An associate from the drug rehab facility comments, "Even in states where marijuana has been legalized for recreational use, dabbing should not be tolerated. It's potential harm to users, and those around them, are unfathomable. Accidental explosions endanger everyone in the area where dabbing takes place- not to mention, the fumes from the process have the potential of affecting those in close proximity.
"Because of the increased THC yielded by the process, those actively partaking in dabbing are increasing their chances of becoming dependent on marijuana physically and mentally. Although marijuana is typically misconstrued as 'safe' it holds very similar dangers to that of alcohol use disorders, which is commonly referred to as alcoholism. Marijuana addiction is more common than publicly represented or believed."
According to the Billings Gazette, the THC extraction created from the dabbing process is called "honeycomb" or "earwax." The article published by Pediatrics asserts not enough research has been conducted to examine the empirical dangers of dabbing, the recommends medical professionals to discourage use among children and teenagers. The Billings Gazette quotes, "Conversations that lead patients to the conclusion that dabbing may not be as safe as flower cannabis should be a goal and should result in fewer young people engaging in this practice."
