DENVER, CO – Therapeutic uses for medical marijuana are being explored by two new studies at University of Colorado Anschutz.
One study will research marijuana as a treatment for chronic spine pain and will evaluate its use to reduce prescription opioid use. The other will research whether cannabidiol (CBD) can be used treat children with autism spectrum disorder.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has awarded two three-year grants totaling $2.7 million for the studies, the department said.
