Note. This table reports on the percentage of participants who had never heard of, heard of but not seen, or seen various cannabis products based on a written list of product terms. Never = never heard of. Heard = heard of but not seen. Seen = heard of and seen. Lifetime Users = the subsample of participants who reported lifetime use of each cannabis product type based on a picture of that product. For example, of the 329 people who reported lifetime marijuana buds/flowers use based on a picture of buds/flowers, 6.1% reported never having heard of “buds or flowers,” 8.2% reported having heard of it but had not seen it, and 85.7% reported having seen it. Past-Year Users = the subsample of participants who reported past-year use of each product based on a picture of that product ^aWax pen specified “Wax pen/THC oil”
^bBudder specified “Budder or badder”
^cDiamonds specified “Diamonds, THCa crystals, or crystalline”
^dBHO specified “Butane hash oil (BHO), CO2 oil, Rick Simpson oil, or honey oil.” Percentages are bolded to facilitate comparison across terms and groups
