Randomized Trial Testing an Online Responsible Vendor Training in Recreational Marijuana Stores in the United States.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

An online training in responsible marijuana vendor (RMV) practices was evaluated for effects on compliance with ID checking regulations.

Method

A random sample of state-licensed recreational marijuana stores (n = 175) in Colorado and Washington State was selected in 2016-2017 and was enrolled in a randomized pretest-posttest controlled design. After baseline assessment, 75 stores were randomly assigned to a usual and customary training control group, stratified by state and region. The remaining stores (n = 100) were invited to use the RMV training. Stores were posttested at 3 and 9 months postrandomization. The primary outcome was refusal of sale measured with pseudo-underage patrons who attempted to enter stores and purchase cannabis without a state-approved ID.<
