As the number of U.S. teenagers using electronic cigarettes increases sharply, a new study has revealed another use for the device: Vaping marijuana. Roughly one-fifth of high-school students who have tried e-cigarettes said they also put cannabis, hash oils or THC-infused wax into the device, according to a study published in the journal Pediatrics. "This is a relatively novel way of using marijuana, and kids are using it at a fairly high rate," said Meghan Morean, co-author of the Yale University study and now assistant professor at Oberlin College, according to Yale News.

Workers who are victims of bullying on the job may become more likely to contemplate suicide than people who don't experience a hostile office environment, a Norwegian study suggests.
Researchers surveyed a nationally representative sample of roughly 1,850 workers and followed them from 2005 to 2010. While less than 5 percent of participants reported thoughts of suicide during the study period, they were about twice as likely to do so after being victims of workplace bullying.
