Our research at @IcahnMountSinai explores how CBD, unlike THC, can be a non-addictive substance to aid other addiction treatments. Let’s push for policies that match the science! Check out our recent @theNASEM report on the path forward👇🏾

Thanks to @NYTScience for highlighting our #CannabisPolicy report. The current patchwork of laws creates unforeseen health risks. As potency rises and new products emerge, we need evidence-based policies that prioritize public safety over profit.
A new report calls for public education and closing of legal loopholes to keep the public safe.
