We have spent years telling the raw truth about the plant, the people, and the policies that shape this industry. The most powerful stories come straight from lived experience. That is why we pay attention when a group builds research that captures what actually happens for patients and caregivers in daily life. Realm of Caring is doing exactly that with two major observational studies that are open right now.

The real-world CBD use and wellness study is investigating long-term outcomes from individuals who have used CBD for two years or longer, while the Realm of Caring Women’s Veteran study aims to understand how cannabinoids may benefit women from the veteran community by capturing real-world evidence and human-centered voices. If you care about safer use, better guidance, and smarter policy, these projects matter.

What follows is our take on why these studies are important, who should consider joining, and how the data can help everyone from patients to clinicians to brands do better. No fluff. Just what you need to know and where to click next.

Why Real World Cannabis Research Matters Right Now

Almost all cannabis use happens outside a lab. Clinical trials are valuable but they move slowly and often filter out the very people who are already using cannabis. Observational research runs alongside daily life and captures the complexity that clinical trials miss. It turns real-world lived experience into knowledge that drives progress by collecting data on outcomes, dosing, side effects, product types, and how people adapt over time. Real world, long duration, participant centered research fills the gaps that have held this field back.

That is what Realm of Caring is building. Big cohorts. Clean protocols. Remote participation. Results that can guide both personal use and professional advice.

Study One: The Long-Term CBD Study

What It Is

The Long Term CBD Study asks adults who have used CBD for two or more years to report how their CBD use relates to quality of life, sleep, pain, mood, and overall wellness. It also tracks dosing, product choices, and changes in routines. This is not a short sprint. It is a marathon that captures how CBD fits into real life over the long haul.
