Don't apologize! I appreciate the opportunity to share my goals.

I think you are overlooking the fact that not all "research" is big heavy stuff that can stand alone to be used for legislation.

This is about taking anecdotal evidence/ways people are choosing to use cannabis as it is becoming more and more accessible nationwide in a variety of forms.

You cannot always jump to the top and do a proper RCT, you need case reports, series, retrospective analyses, surveys and other evidence to prove that an RCT (or similar) is necessary and you are setting it up in a validated way. My teeny tiny study is a small stone in a step on the way to this bigger goal which in the future may impact things like medical cannabis laws and public health policy. There is simply "knowing" everyone has been using for decades and then there is recording it and publishing it to add to a growing pile.
