Curious About Cannabis Edibles? Fed Health Agency Funds Project To Study Use Among Young Adults
Washington State University (WSU) researchers have received a $670,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to tackle cannabis misuse among young adults.
The project, led by Stacey Hust and Jessica Willoughby, will focus on educating college students in three states where cannabis is legal. The states are Washington, Illinois and New York, reported WSU Insider.
A particular focus of the study is cannabis edibles, which are increasingly popular but often misunderstood.
The three-year NIH-funded initiative aims to develop and test a technology-based intervention designed to educate young adults on the risks of cannabis. The focus is set on edibles.
