The study was led by Australian researchers and was published on Monday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics.
The increase in prevalence was found to be consistent across grades, with older students having the highest prevalence of cannabis vaping.
Among students in all grades, only 1.4 per cent of those surveyed between 2013 and 2016 reported vaping cannabis in the previous 30 days.
Vaping devices, also known as e-cigarettes, were initially marketed as a smoking cessation device for adults but have exploded in popularity among teens in the last decade.
study from 2021 found that adolescent cannabis vaping was associated with a nearly two-fold increase in respiratory symptoms, while several other studies have found that heavy cannabis use in adolescence was associated with poorer cognitive development.
