: MoreBetter (www.morebetter.ltd) is a software, data, and research firm that's been running longitudinal studies on the use and efficacy of cannabinoids since 2016. MoreBetter created an app called Releaf App which is a free medical cannabis journaling app. They do not have a clinic or sell cannabis products of any kind. There was no collection of money from participants. The individuals from MoreBetter did not help with any hypotheses, design, analysis, interpretation of results, or decision to submit for publication. They assisted in building the survey according to our interests. They helped with data collection and sent us de-identified data to analyze. All participants were entered into a raffle after the study was completed to receive Amazon gift cards. Participants were told they may receive up to $250 amazon gift card. We sent out a total of $1,000 worth of amazon gift cards. Those were broken down into nine raffle winners. Two received $250, two received $100, two received $75, and three received $50. MoreBetter and CannaMD provided $1,000 participant compensation (split between MoreBetter and CannaMD) and MoreBetter funded: Participant recruitment costs, Software costs (from their own study management software, Penzai), and SMS costs to send the study questions to all participants for 45 days.
