The Most Research-Backed CannabisIntervention Available
Built by a team that has published hundreds of peer-reviewed studies with tens of thousands of citations across addiction science, digital intervention, and cannabis research, and funded by the National Institutes of Health.
Research backed by universities
We evaluate engagement, outcomes, and real-world use of digital cannabis support tools.

Research partners
Clear30 collaborates with the University of Michigan's Digital Cannabis Clinical Care (DC³) initiative to evaluate and scale evidence-based cannabis support for students and young adults.
Our research partnerships with Harvard-affiliated teams help assess Clear30's effectiveness as a scalable intervention for cannabis use among college students and young adults.
Funded by the National
Institutes of Health
Clear30 was built with a competitive NIH/NIDA SBIR grant. We've completed Phase 1, which included building the core app and developing an adolescent version. The same research team continues to guide the product today.
