"It is not anticannabis to emphasize placebo control." Regulatory hurdles are immense but controlled studies are desperately needed to identify therapeutic effects of cannabis / cannabinoids and mitigate negative outcomes.

Time for a reasonable path forward to enable cannabis and cannabinoid research - science is lagging behind changes in cannabis regulation and emerging products. The state of knowledge must rest on more than observational studies, patient self-report, and only a handful of RCTs.
The obstacles we face as researchers to study such widely used substances is absurd

Historic UN vote to reschedule

:
“until today there has been a UN treaty that explicitly advises NOT to use cannabis for medical purposes. The WHO has now given an unequivocal sign of support for medical cannabis programmes"—and, as of today, the U.N. has as well.
Marijuana is not "particularly liable to abuse and to produce ill effect," says the United Nations in a historic vote to reschedule cannabis

Who doesn’t love a good cannabinoid self-ad session with
@canna_brain
?
In our 10 sec intro & discussion prep we forgot the primary conclusion: D9-THC is a reinforcer in 3 species. How bout D8-THC? THCP? THC-O?
Thanks

Great time talking to
@trikomes
about what’s on the horizon for cannabis research on
#GoodChemistry
- cannabis and sex, aging, terpenes, minor cannabinoids (there may have been a mention of delta-8), and many other topics!
Watch the full episode here
New episode of Good Chemistry, "Medical
#Cannabis
, Clinical Research & Cannabinoid Therapeutics," is live.
Near the end,
@zivacooper
offered some great tips to help non-scientists determine the quality of science journalism.

Lorcaserin decreased craving and cannabis self-administration under abstinent and non-abstinent conditions!

Must read new analysis of cannabis laws and opioid fatalities from
@KeithNHumphreys
and colleagues: "Correlation of
nonexperimentally gathered data doesn't establish causation
a general principle that all parties to the current debate should
bear in mind."

Thank you for clarifying to

that I was reporting the committee’s conclusions. Odd not to include me in the tweet stating that I was dissociating myself from the group. The conclusion is stated on pages 19, 295, & 326. Please note both conclusions below.
