Critical Research
Medical Use
Colorado State University’s Institute of Cannabis Research will launch a national, medical cannabis patient data registry. Estimates suggest that more than 1 million U.S. citizens legally consume cannabis to relieve symptoms from such diseases as multiple sclerosis, HIV, cancer or epilepsy, according to the university.
Opioid
An academic analysis from The City University of New York indicates that “the 2012 legalization policy in Colorado appears to reduce the number of deaths due to opioid overdoses.”
Driving
The Colorado School of Public Health is searching for volunteers for a study on how cannabis affects the operation of motor vehicles.
