What this could lead to: If successful, this could provide a low-cost, accessible tool to help people with Cannabis Use Disorder manage stress and reduce their cannabis use.
What could go wrong: This is an early-stage trial with only 80 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention is behavioral and may not work for everyone.
