Study of Medical Marijuana Patients

UCLA researchers interested in people using medical marijuana

The more published scientific information regarding the affects of cannabinoids, the better! If you’re a medical cannabis patient (or know one who might want to enroll in this study), NORML asks you to please consider participating in Dr. Ackerman’s online medical research.

UCLA is inviting people with fibromyalgia, IBS, interstitial cystitis, chronic pain, and other chronic and recurring conditions to sign up and participate in a year-long Internet-based survey, called PROCAIM. PROCAIM was developed under a grant from the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine to UCLA researchers to study:

the effectiveness of complementary and alternative therapies and
the interactions among stress and coping, pain, and treatment outcomes

This is a web-based study composed of surveys that will recur at intervals over 1 year!
