The National Cannabis Study<\/strong> is a groundbreaking initiative designed to expand scientific understanding of medical cannabis and its impact on health. Led by Johns Hopkins University<\/strong>, Realm of Caring, and Veriheal, this multi-year project is one of the largest federally funded cannabis research efforts, receiving $1.25 million annually<\/strong> for five years<\/strong>. The study follows first-time medical cannabis users for a year, with participants completing surveys about their health, symptoms, and experiences with cannabis.<\/p>\n This research stands out due to its multi-dimensional<\/strong> approach. This approach addresses gaps from previous studies, historically limited by legal and societal barriers. By focusing on real-world experiences and data, the study aims to inform clinical decision-making, product development, and public policy. The insights gathered will benefit healthcare providers, cannabis businesses, policymakers, and patients, enabling evidence-based strategies<\/strong> for safer, more effective cannabis use.<\/p>\n
