Article Synopsis
- Medical cannabis use has become more accepted in the U.S., but access is still limited for underserved populations, prompting a study at Montefiore’s Medical Cannabis Program to analyze patient experiences.
- Between 2017 and 2019, 562 patients were certified for medical cannabis; only 45% made purchases, with barriers such as affordability and accessibility impacting usage.
- The study found that patients who purchased medical cannabis were more likely to be white and have better insurance, highlighting the need for improved access to promote equitable use and reduce unregulated use among different demographics.
