Researchers at the University of California, San Francisco have developed a new interactive mapping tool that shows the distribution and use of highly concentrated cannabis products in the US. The tool is based on data from a variety of sources, including state cannabis regulators, public health surveys, and research studies.

The tool shows that the use of highly concentrated cannabis products is increasing rapidly in many parts of the US. For example, the percentage of people who reported using cannabis concentrates in the past year increased from 1.7% in 2011 to 10.3% in 2020. The tool also shows that the use of highly concentrated cannabis products is more common among certain groups, such as young people, men, and people who use cannabis regularly.

The tool is designed to help policymakers better understand the distribution and use of highly concentrated cannabis products so that they can develop effective policies to regulate these products. The tool can also be used by researchers to study the health effects of highly concentrated cannabis products and to develop educational programs to help consumers use these products safely.

The development of this new interactive mapping tool is an important step forward in our understanding of highly concentrated cannabis products. The tool will help policymakers, researchers, and consumers to better understand these products and to develop effective policies and educational programs to reduce the potential risks associated with their use.
