Academic research

The Department of Cannabis Control Academic Research Grants Program is funded by cannabis tax revenue with the goal of expanding knowledge about cannabis and the impacts of legalization. We support studies on public health, criminal justice and public safety, economic impacts, environmental impacts, and the cannabis industry. Learn how to apply for a cannabis research grant. If you require an ADA compliant version of the reports, please send a request to outreach@cannabis.ca.gov.
