Cannabis labelling and consumer understanding of THC levels and serving sizes.
TL;DR: Few consumers can understand and apply quantitative THC labelling; in contrast, THC labels that provide 'interpretive' information, such as descriptors, symbols, or references to servings have greater efficacy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regular cannabis use, with and without tobacco co-use, is associated with respiratory disease.
TL;DR: Regular cannabis use is associated with significantly greater risk of respiratory disease regardless of TUD status, and TUD-patients had the greatest prevalence of respiratory health, regardless of cannabis-use indication.

The Impact of Medical Cannabis Legalization on Prescription Medication Use and Costs under Medicare Part D
TL;DR: The use of prescription drugs for which cannabis could serve as a clinical alternative fell significantly once a medical cannabis law (MCL) was put in place, and overall savings to the Medicare program when states implement MCLs are estimated to have been as much as $638.8 million per year by 2015.
