Over <\/span>52 million Americans used cannabis<\/span><\/a> at least once in 2021, and that number is set to go up in 2025. With more people showing interest in using cannabis, understanding the herb\u2019s effects and health outcomes has never been more crucial. <\/span>Realm of Caring Foundation<\/span><\/a> (RoC) is stepping in to fill this knowledge gap with its long-term CBD study, which launched on its website in 2024.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s Realm of Caring’s Long-Term CBD Study About?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Cannabidiol (CBD) is one of the major compounds (cannabinoids) found in cannabis. Unlike its cousin cannabinoid, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC),<\/span> CBD<\/span><\/a> doesn\u2019t cause impairing or euphoric effects. Simply put, it can\u2019t get you high. Studies have however shown that CBD may help with pain, anxiety, stress, and nausea relief. <\/span>62% of Americans<\/span><\/a> actually used CBD for these effects in 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

RoC\u2019s long-term study is looking to delve deeper into CBD\u2019s short and long-term effects. The purpose of the study is to collect data on long-term CBD use behaviors and health outcomes. RoC will then publicly share this data to help people better understand the cannabinoids and how it can change their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the study will look into the effects of CBD over years rather than months, it should provide more comprehensive data. More importantly, it should provide stronger evidence of CBD\u2019s potential for medical use. The more the public knows, the easier it\u2019ll be to embrace or reject CBD for therapeutic purposes.<\/span><\/p>\n

How Is RoC Conducting Its CBD Study?<\/b><\/h2>\n

At the time of publishing, RoC is still recruiting participants for its study. You\u2019re welcome to participate if you\u2019re a U.S. resident, over 18, demonstrate English speaking and writing proficiency, and can fill out a survey in a single sitting. You must also have used CBD at least thrice a week for two years, or not used CBD at all in the past two years.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since the study is retrospective and survey-based, it\u2019ll look back at participants’ past CBD use and collect data through questionnaires. RoC will collect data over two years, and you can<\/span> join now via its website<\/span><\/a> to participate in the study. Veriheal patients are also welcome to take part in this study.<\/span><\/p>\n

What to Expect from this Study<\/b><\/h2>\n

Realm of Caring has studied CBD for years through its <\/span>Observational Research Registry (ORR)<\/span><\/a> collaboration with Johns Hopkins. This registry has helped gather real-world data on how people use cannabinoids and their health effects.<\/span><\/p>\n

With its long-term CBD study, RoC is taking things a step further. By expanding its research, RoC hopes to give doctors and patients better information about CBD\u2019s benefits and make its medicinal use more widely accepted.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some of the potential CBD benefits RoC might prove or disprove with its study include the cannabinoid\u2019s effects on pain management, anxiety, sleep, and overall well-being. It should also cover CBD\u2019s potential neuroprotective and anti-inflammatory benefits, which other studies have mentioned.<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, the study won\u2019t be complete if it doesn\u2019t address the possible risks of using CBD, such as concerns regarding liver function, drug interactions, or dependency. Lastly, by analyzing the usage habits of hundreds of users, the research could provide helpful guidelines and insights for safe CBD use.<\/span><\/p>\n

How RoC\u2019s Study Could Revolutionize CBD Use<\/b><\/h2>\n

Understanding how CBD affects various health conditions over time could help healthcare providers make better-informed decisions about its use. Other ways RoC\u2019s study could revolutionize CBD use include:<\/span><\/p>\n
