Summary

This study aims to find out which cannabis warning messages are most effective at raising awareness and changing perceptions. Researchers will show US adults (both users and non-users) seven different warning messages covering topics like dependence, cognitive function, and cardiovascular health. Participants will rate each message on clarity, believability, and how much it makes them think about cannabis risks. The results could guide future public health campaigns.
