Given diversified cannabis products, we examined associations between consumption methods and risk perception of smoking 1–2 times a week. Using the 2022 U.S. National Survey on Drug Use Health data (N = 12,796 past-year adult users; M 6127 F 6669), used multinomial binary logistic regression models. Smoking was most prevalent method, followed by eating/drinking, vaping, dabbing. One-half users reported no perceived week, 37.5% slight risk, 9.2% moderate 2.9% great risk. Those with or had lower likelihood using 4+ (e.g., RRR 0.40, 95% CI 0.20, 0.77 for perception). Any associated higher odds edibles/drinks only aOR 2.81, 1.43, 5.54 Along medical use CUD, sociodemographic factors, mental illness, other substance were also significant correlates methods. Understanding varying perceptions different is needed harm reduction initiatives. More research particularly dabs/concentrates, to better understand potential risks them.
