Responsible Marijuana Sales Practices to Reduce the Risk of Selling to Intoxicated Customers

United States229 participantsStarted 2024-01-15

Plain-language summary

The new recreational marijuana markets are contributing to polysubstance-impaired driving and other harms, especially when marijuana is used in combination with alcohol, by selling marijuana to obviously-intoxicated customers. In this study, the effectiveness of an intervention to reduce the risk of marijuana sales to obviously-intoxicated customers will be tested in the state-licensed recreational marijuana market in Oregon, one of the first states to ban such sales. The intervention will combine efforts by state regulators to increase deterrence of the state law prohibiting marijuana sales to obviously-intoxicated customers with training of store personnel to recognize signs of intoxication and refuse sales. It will also include testing the rate at which visibly intoxicated customers are refused alcohol at nearby establishments that sell alcohol either on-site or off-site

Questions worth asking your doctor

Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.

1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?

Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.

Questions for the trial coordinator

The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.

1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?

A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
