How can health disparities impact access to cannabinoid therapies among different demographic groups? Health disparities can significantly impact access to cannabinoid therapies among different demographic groups by creating barriers related to socioeconomic status, geographic location, and systemic inequities. Populations facing economic challenges may struggle to afford cannabinoid products or lack access to healthcare providers knowledgeable about cannabinoid therapies. Additionally, individuals living in rural areas may have limited access to dispensaries or clinics offering cannabinoid treatments. Stigma surrounding cannabis use can also deter individuals from seeking cannabinoid therapies, further exacerbating disparities. To address these issues, targeted interventions and policies are needed to ensure equitable access to cannabinoid therapies for all demographic groups (Mason et al., 2020).
