Additionally, data describing the characteristics of people who use MC and the products and doses they receive are lacking. The Medical Marijuana and Me (M³) Study was designed to collect patient-centered data from MC users. We aim to describe preferred MC use patterns that patients report as \"most effective\" for specific health conditions and symptoms, identify user characteristics associated with such use patterns, characterize adverse effects, including cannabis use disorder, identify products and patient characteristics associated with adverse effects, describe concurrent prescription medication use, and identify concomitant medication use with potential drug-MC interaction risk. Among MC initiators, we also aim to quantify MC use persistence and identify reasons for discontinuation, assess MC utilization pattern trajectories over time, describe outcome trajectories of primary reasons for MC use and determine factors associated with different trajectories, track changes in concomitant substance and medication use after MC initiation, and identify factors associated with such changes. M³ is a combined study comprised of: (1) a prospective cohort of MC initiators completing surveys at enrollment, 3 months, and 9 months after MC initiation and (2) a cross-sectional study of current MC users. A multidisciplinary committee including researchers, physicians, pharmacists, patients, and dispensary personnel designed and planned study protocols, established study measures, and created survey questionnaires. M³ will recruit 1,000-1,200 participants aged ≥18 years, with ∼50% new and ∼50% current MC patients from MC clinics across Florida, USA. Study enrollment started in May 2022 and will continue until the target number of patients is achieved.

However, differences in herb-drug interaction potential of extracts from different plant sources are poorly understood. In this study, we provide a characterization of cannabis extracts prepared from four cannabis chemotypes and an in vitro assessment of their Cytochrome P450 (CYP)-mediated herb-drug interaction profiles.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Plant extracts were either commercially obtained or prepared using ethanol as solvent, followed by overnight decarboxylation in a reflux condenser system. The extracts were characterized for their cannabinoid content using NMR and HPLC-PDA-ELSD-ESIMS. CYP inhibition studies with the cannabis extracts and pure cannabinoids (tetrahydrocannabinol [THC] and cannabidiol [CBD]) were performed using pooled, mixed gender human liver microsomes. Tolbutamide and testosterone were used as specific substrates to assess the inhibitory potential of the extracts on CYP2C9 and CYP3A4, and the coumarinic oral anticoagulants warfarin, phenprocoumon, and acenocoumarol were studied as model compounds since in vivo herb-drug interactions have previously been reported for this compound class.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>In accordance with the plant chemotypes, two extracts were rich in THC and CBD (at different proportions); one extract contained mostly CBD and the other mostly cannabigerol (CBG). Residual amounts of the corresponding acids were found in all extracts. The extracts with a single major cannabinoid (CBD or CBG) inhibited CYP2C9- and CYP3A4-mediated metabolism stronger than the extracts containing both major cannabinoids (THC and CBD). The inhibition of CYP3A4 and CYP2C9 by the extract containing mostly CBD was comparable to their inhibition by pure CBD.
