ABSTRACTBackground: Researchers need accurate measurements of cannabis consumption quantities to assess risks and benefits. Survey methods for measuring flower concentrate remain underdeveloped.Objective: We examined "grams" "hits" units quantities, calculating milligrams THC (mgTHC).Methods: Online survey participants (n = 2,381) reported preferred unit (hits or grams), past-week hits grams each product, product %THC. Quantile regression compared mgTHC between unit-preference subgroups. Hits-based calculations assumed a universal grams-per-hit ratio (GPHR). To examine individualized GPHRs, we tested "two-item approach," which divided total by hits, "one-item 0.5 responses the question: "How many would it take you finish 1/2 g your [product] [administration method]?"Results: Participants were primarily daily consumers (77%), 50% female sex, mean age 39.0 (SD 16.4), 85% White, 49% employed full-time. Compared those who unit, consuming more grams, higher %THC products, consequently, larger median (flower-hits mgTHC: 32 vs. 91 (95%CI: 52–67); flower-grams 27 113 73–95); concentrate-hits 29 59 15–43); concentrate-grams 61 129 43–94)). "Two-item" "one-item" approach GPHRs similar frequently smaller than GPHR.Conclusion: Allowing respondents choose when reporting does not compromise estimates. A low-burden, one-item yields "hit sizes" that may improve estimates.KEYWORDS: CannabismeasurementquantitysurveyTHC AcknowledgmentsWe like thank David Hammond, Ryan Vandrey, Tory Spindle, Marcel Bonn-Miller, Carrie Cuttler, LaTrice Montgomery, Adam Leventhal, this study.Disclosure statementDrs.
