Summary

This study follows 600 black and white adults with solid tumor cancer who use cannabis at least weekly or not at all. Participants report pain, symptoms, and cannabis use through a smartphone app and surveys for one year. The goal is to understand how cannabis affects pain and opioid use, and whether it helps reduce racial differences in pain severity.
