Key Points Question After experimentation in adolescence, do risks of progression and persistence of cannabis use during a 12-month follow-up period differ among 5 cannabis products? Findings In this cohort study of 2685 adolescents with no history of heavy cannabis use, after accounting for polyuse of multiple products, the association of baseline experimental use with persistent use and progression of use of that product during a 12-month follow-up period was significantly stronger for cannabis concentrate than for other cannabis products. Meaning The rate of persistence and progression after experimentation among adolescents may be amplified with the use of cannabis concentrate compared with other cannabis products.
