Key findings to be included: 235 veterans have joined iCount; top conditions veterans report using medical cannabis for: 46% anxiety\, 42% depression\, 37% PTSD\, and 34% chronic pain. Among veterans reporting taking prescription medications (N=113)\, 62% use cannabis to reduce the use of over-the-counter or prescription medications\, and among all veterans reporting\, 75% report cannabis helps them have a greater or much greater quality of life. Current iCount for Veterans study partners include Undoo® and Good Chemistry.
