Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Do patients increase or decrease their employment after starting prescription medical cannabis? I exploit a novel panel database of more than 4,000 medical cannabis patients to analyze connections between medical cannabis treatment and changes in employment and disability status, finding a mild increase in employment and small reductions in unemployment and labor force participation. Patients taking antiepileptic medications at the time of cannabis prescription do significantly better than average, whereas patients taking nerve modulators do somewhat worse. Other factors such as age, sex, prior use of cannabis, or characteristics of prescription cannabis do not strongly correlate with labor market changes.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
