This federal Project Grant award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), under the Drug Use and Addiction Research Programs (CFDA 93.279), provides $268,470 to The RAND Corporation to study the public health impacts of the recent expansion of cannabidiol (CBD) access in the United States. The key products and services to be delivered under this award include:

  1. Analyzing how medical CBD laws and the proliferation of CBD dispensaries impact CBD use, as well as the use of opioids and alcohol, and related overdose deaths. 2) Collecting and publishing data on the locations of CBD dispensaries and analyzing the demographics of CBD access across geographic areas. 3) Re-examining previous research on the effects of medical and recreational marijuana laws, while accounting for the influence of CBD policies, to reconcile inconsistent findings in the literature.

This 2-year research project aims to provide critical insights into the public health implications of the rapidly evolving CBD policy landscape in the U.S. and its potential to influence substance use patterns, particularly related to the opioid crisis.
