Lambert Center for the Study of Medicinal Cannabis & Hemp |
Our mission at The Lambert Center for the Study of Medicinal Cannabis and Hemp is to advance the scientific basis, research efforts, educational opportunities, positive social impact opportunities, and patient experience associated with the clinical use of cannabis-derived medicinal therapies. We also strive to develop new and innovative hemp-based technologies in the medical and industrial spaces. | Thomas Jefferson University | https://www.jefferson.edu/university/emerging-health-professions/lambert-center.html | ||||
UCLA Cannabis Research Initiative (CRI) | The UCLA Cannabis Research Initiative (CRI) is a strategic initiative out of the UCLA Jane and Terry Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior. As one of the first university programs focused on the multidisciplinary study of cannabis, we aim to bring together experts from diverse fields to advance the understanding the plant’s impact on body, brain, and society.
Despite unprecedented access, nearly a century of research restrictions and funding barriers have contributed to a lack of scientific knowledge about cannabis and hemp, particularly in regards to the therapeutic potential and the industrial applications.
Our mission is to address the most pressing questions related to the impact of cannabis legalization through rigorous scientific study and discourse across disciplines. | 310.206.8542 | cannabis@mednet.ucla.edu | University of California - Los Angeles | https://cannabis.semel.ucla.edu/ | ||
Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) | (2000) | The mission of the CMCR is to accelerate high quality scientific studies intended to ascertain the medical safety and efficacy of cannabis and cannabinoid products and examine alternative forms of administration. More broadly, the CMCR is concerned with the health effects of cannabis. This includes advancing cannabinoid science via the awarding of grant funding, establishment of data and sample repositories, facilitating assessment and laboratory harmonization, and facilitating training of the next generation of researchers into cannabinoid science. The Center aims to be a model resource for health policy planning by virtue of its close collaboration with federal, state, and academic entities, as well as to act as a conduit for educating medical professionals and the public regarding the responsible use of cannabis/cannabinoids as medicine. | 619.543.5024 | cmcr@ucsd.edu | University of California, San Diego | https://www.cmcr.ucsd.edu/ | |
