After conducting the first scoping review of its kind, AMC researchers Lisa Bero, PhD, Rosa Lawrence, BA, Jon Samet, MD, MS, and colleagues developed an evidence based interactive mapping tool that can be used to find the studies that have been done on high concentration cannabis products, to assist lawmakers as they consider regulating the concentration of THC in cannabis products and as more potent products move into the marketplace.
This State of Colorado funded scoping review was published in the American Journal of Public Health. “During the review we discovered that research on cannabis is out of sync with the higher concentrations found in today’s products. While many of these studies need to be expanded to keep up with current trends, it opens up a conversation that could lead to broader research and collaboration between medical experts and state governments as well as close the knowledge gaps about these products,” says Professor Bero.
