Pennsylvania on Monday unveiled eight universities that will be allowed to research medical marijuana, a potential boon for an industry where cannabis study is extremely limited.
According to the Tribune-Review, the schools authorized to conduct MMJ research are:
• Drexel University College of Medicine, Philadelphia
• Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine, Erie
• Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University, Philadelphia
• Penn State College of Medicine, Hershey
• Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia
• Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine
• Sidney Kimmel Medical College at Thomas Jefferson University, Philadelphia
• University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine
Monday’s announcement by Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf is unusual because few state cannabis programs have made such a commitment to studying medical cannabis.
But research is sorely needed in a space where a lack of scientific studies into the medical benefits of cannabis has slowed the growth of the industry.
Here’s what you need to know:
• The eight “certified academic clinical research centers” will research the efficacy and safety of medical cannabis for treating several health conditions.
• The centers will partner with a cannabis company that will be granted one state license to cultivate and process MMJ. The company will also receive a dispensary license to sell medical cannabis at up to six storefronts.
• A legal challenge filed by some MMJ license holders is still pending, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. A group of license holders filed an injunction to stop Pennsylvania’s research program, arguing that it will provide an unfair advantage to the partner company.
People, the last I heard, Sterling Crockett was working behind the scenes to accomplish this exact thing. Maybe he helped, maybe he didn't, I just know that he was working on it with Bruce Goldman.
