About the Study
About Us
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death in the United States and has recently been identified as one of the factors to increase the risk of COVID-19 death. Cannabis, a plant that is used as medicine, has been shown to impact health. The purpose of this study is to learn how specific components of cannabis (cannabinoids) impact heart health over time when taken in three different forms (joint, blunt, vaporizer).
To do this, the team will measure differences in the body’s vascular system, blood, and urine by different routes of cannabis use in the first visit. One year later, measurements will be repeated and compared. Results from this study will inform cannabis science.
