Cannabis Certifications for Severe Chronic and Intractable Pain: Geographic Patterns across Pennsylvania, USA
This study identified four-fold county-level disparities in MC certifications for pain. The association between median household income and MC pain certifications may indicate differences in accessibility of MC based on financial status. Further research may be warranted pending any changes to the legal status or demand for MC.
