Considering the study is funded for other expectations and outcomes for research purposes...the analyzer and SCAMydx should never be mentioned, not because of a CTO that has zero impact or relevance for the UF study and parties, but because the study was developed to identify what individuals are doing on their own for self medicating.

The analyzer has zero impact on the success of the study. And it was only requested to see if there is any usefulness of the analyzer for helping to gather individual self medicating practices.

"In terms of restrictions on research, I certainly can't use federal research money to purchase marijuana products, and I can't ask people to bring products onto campus. This grant was written to find out what people are doing on their own -- self-medicating," says Dr. Cook.

The study, held in collaboration with USF and FIU, aims to collect data on patients' self-dosing habits and to identify relationships between cannabis consumption and HIV symptoms, HIV viral suppression, markers of chronic inflammation, and cognitive or behavioral aspects of health.

Participants can self-report what type of cannabis products they are consuming, how much, and document their anecdotal experiences via questionnaires. They also undergo blood and urine tests to determine markers of inflammation, as well as toxicology reports that break down the specific components in the cannabis the individual is using.
