Supplement 8 2024

 Narrowing the Gap Between Cannabis Science and Policy

This supplement issue of AJPH, prepared with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, focuses on decreasing the knowledge gap between the policy and research surrounding cannabis. 

Gaps in the scientific knowledge base on the therapeutic effects of cannabis use and harmful health outcomes have been identified as being especially important.

Articles span topics such as cannabis landscape and use, aspects of policy research and regulations, and monitoring potential adverse effects as they relate to the theme of the supplement.
