April 2022 Webinar: Providing a Safe and Legal Pathway for Medical Cannabis Use in the U.S.

Our April #webinar: Providing a Safe and Legal Pathway for Medical Cannabis Use in the U.S. According to the The National Institutes of Health (NIH), despite the increasing prevalence and acceptance of medical cannabis use among the general public, the evidence required by physicians to use cannabis as a treatment has been found to be generally lacking. So, as part of their ongoing monthly webinar series the Council for Federal Cannabis Regulation (CFCR) took an in-depth look at the current legislation in Congress and the various pathways forward for safe and legal access. CFCR has gathered a dynamic collection of leading physicians and policymakers to discuss the future of medical cannabis use in the United States. The conversation centered around the pros and cons of medical use cannabis with a focus on what the latest research tells us about the future of cannabis and our ability to gain new insights from expanding research. The panel included: Rachel Patterson, Senior Director for Federal Relations and Policy of the Epilepsy Foundation; Dr. Jacqueline French, professor of Neurology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine and Founder/Director of the EPILEPSY STUDY CONSORTIUM INC; Peter Grinspoon M.D., Primary Care physician at Massachusetts General Hospital; Amanda Kain, Chief of Staff of the Cannabis Caucus, co-chaired by Rep. David Joyce (R-OH) and Reginald Babin; Chief Counsel to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY). A conversation not to miss!
