About This Registry
The Cannabis Healthcare Registry is a survey-based platform for gathering real-world information from patients, caregivers, and clinicians.
Its purpose is to help create a clearer picture of lived experience, including symptoms, treatment goals, cannabis use or non-use, outcomes, side effects, safety concerns, and access barriers.
Who this registry is for
- patients sharing their own experience
- parents, guardians, and caregivers answering for someone else
- clinicians contributing patient-specific or broader observational information
What the survey covers
Depending on the route a person takes through the survey, questions may cover:
- role and age group
- broad location
- symptoms or condition areas
- goals for care or symptom relief
- cannabis use, former use, non-use, or consideration of use
- product types, routes, and patterns of use when known
- outcomes, side effects, and safety concerns
- access challenges such as cost, availability, or information gaps
Why these responses matter
Real-world healthcare experiences are often more complex than simple success-or-failure stories.
The registry is meant to create a more useful record of:
- what people are trying to manage
- what seems to help
- what does not help
- what creates risk or difficulty
- what barriers people face when trying to make care decisions
What this platform is not
- medical advice
- diagnosis
- emergency support
- proof that any treatment is safe or effective for a specific person
The survey is informational and research-oriented. It is not a substitute for clinical care.
What you can read in this section
This public document section focuses on three things:
- what the registry is
- how privacy and consent are handled
- what a participant can expect after submitting a response
Why this matters now
Better decisions depend on better records.
The registry exists to make sure patient, caregiver, and clinician experiences are not lost, reduced to stereotypes, or left out of future learning and planning.
