Café Scientifique "Meet the MUNCHIES: Cannabis Research in Manitoba" (June 9, 2021)

"Meet the MUNCHIES: Cannabis Research in Manitoba" In 2018, Canada became a leader in cannabis legalization for non-medical purposes and the interest in using cannabis for medical purposes continues to increase. While there are some rigorous research studies that support potential benefits, most diseases and conditions that patients report using cannabis as a therapy for do not have evidence to support safe or effective benefit. Potential concerns include: problematic use, interactions with other medicines, cognitive impairment that must be considered within the context of potential benefits and existing treatment options. Our panel of experts will discuss hot topics on cannabis used for medical purposes, provide an update on current medical cannabis research happening in Manitoba and discuss barriers to the use of cannabis for medical purposes.

Cafés are scheduled throughout the academic year, on a weeknight, and encompass topics that reflect the breadth of research underway at the UM. They are hosted and organized by the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International). https://umanitoba.ca/research/cafe-sc...
