Adverse Events for Medical Cannabis from Minnesota Call Center, 2015-2021

237 calls from 225 individuals reported 692 adverse events to a centralized call center for the Minnesota Medical Cannabis Program between 2015 and 2021. The data, authored by Sílvia M. Illamola, includes symptom severity, product formulation, and daily THC/CBD doses, with 32.5% of cases leading to treatment discontinuation. This retrospective analysis provides real-world safety signals for cannabinoid therapies.

Use Cases

• Analyze associations between adverse event severity and daily THC/CBD doses based on the reported dose data.
• Compare the frequency of adverse events across different product formulations (e.g., capsules, THC-dominant) mentioned in the results.
• Model the likelihood of treatment discontinuation following an adverse event based on patient demographics and qualifying conditions.
• Identify patterns in adverse event reporting over time within the 2015-2021 surveillance window.

Strengths

• Includes 692 reported symptoms with severity classifications from a real-world surveillance program.
• Links adverse events to specific cannabinoid doses and product types, enabling dose-response analysis.
• Covers a 7-year reporting period (2015-2021) from a single licensed manufacturer, providing temporal consistency.

Limitations

• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which limits suitability assessment.
• Data is from a single manufacturer and a voluntary reporting system, which likely underestimates the true adverse event burden.
• The dataset is small at 32.5 KB, indicating limited scope.
