Medical Marijuana & Me (M3)

About the M3 Study

The M3 Study collects patient-centered data to support research on medical marijuana effectiveness and safety outcomes relevant to the most common health conditions among a diverse group of people who use medical marijuana (MMJ Users) in Florida. To do that 1,000-1,200 qualified people who are 18 years old or older in Florida are sharing their experiences of medical marijuana by completing online surveys. Our team has completed enrollment for new and current users.
