Despite liberalization of cannabis laws in 47 states, ongoing federal prohibition makes it difficult to obtain data from users and producers in different locales to better understand their experiences. As more states legalize cannabis markets, regulators must have access to actionable data to make informed decisions regarding product labeling and how to provide ownership access for communities disproportionately impacted by the drug war. The COVID-19 pandemic has also generated questions about how use patterns have been impacted by shelter-in-place orders. The purpose of this session is to share highlights from cannabis research using survey primary and secondary data to answer these questions about cannabis use and policy impacts in different contexts. This presentation is part of a Data Fair hosted by the ICPSR at the University of Michigan.
