The Cannabis Research Challenge:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

In the context of the currently shifting political, social, and legal environment, cannabis researchers are still challenged by significant limitations in applying appropriate scientific standards. Otherwise-conscientious researchers experience great difficulty in adhering to the rigorous conventions and protocols of the scientific method.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The absence of comprehensive, relevant standards and methodology for conducting in-depth cannabis research has partially been the result of prohibitionist social policy for more than 70 years.\u00a0 This is compounded by the fact that most research protocols ignore the broad variability in potentially \u201cactive\u201d compounds expressed across the broad spectrum of existing cultivars. In much cannabis research we note a significant limitation in the failure to address the complex combinations of cannabinoids, terpenes, and other plant molecules; methods of cannabis administration; as well as the set and setting of research subjects.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The absence of a sophisticated understanding of practical cannabis use is also evident in a failure to adequately accommodate research issues such as drug tolerance, differential sensitivity across subjects\/patients, and specificity in matching cultivars to subjects\/disorders. Correcting this failure appropriately requires considerable practical knowledge, not readily apparent to researchers if they are outsiders to the complex modern culture of cannabis use \u2014 whether medical, creative, or recreational.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cannabis research is politically sensitive, in that a large minority of the electorate continue to promote a culture of prohibition. This, coupled with the fact that cannabis is a federally scheduled and restricted substance requires additional care in identifying and eliminating potential research biases.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The increasing body of knowledge regarding the clinical benefits of cannabis is largely derived from clinical observation. As such, future research investigations require high levels of diligence and transparency regarding adherence to good scientific methodology, including identification of such variables as the specifics of the cultivar and the bio-active molecules studied.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition, identification of the sources of funding should be noted to address conflict of interest issues; but also because NIH-funded research requires use of a sole-source cannabis grown by the National Institute on Drug Abuse; it is typically without published QA\/QC standards or specifications re the extensive variety of combinations of cannabinoid and terpene content for testing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>CMAP<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Approach:<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

In addition, the\u00a0<\/span>CMAP<\/span><\/i><\/strong>\u00a0<\/i><\/span>team will develop and implement a plan to contribute to achieving our\u00a0<\/span>CMAP<\/span><\/i><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>goals as initially formulated below.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>We are collaborating with other cannabis-focused organizations, scientists, medical professionals, patients, cannabis users, cannabis activists, and the public to challenge questionable science and promote good science in the conduct of cannabis research studies.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Our\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>CMAP<\/span><\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Goals are to<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

2. Encourage scientific standards:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to encourage standards of cannabis research that adhere to the scientific method by partnering with other cannabis-focused organizations, scientists, medical and health care professionals, patients, cannabis users, cannabis activists, and the public.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Analyze cannabis research:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to provide a tool to classify cannabis research as to whether it does or does not adhere to the scientific method.<\/span><\/p>\n

The initial priority will be to identify research used in the support of prohibitionist policy which fails to adequately adhere to the scientific method and deconstruct it using expertise from the cannabis industry, input from the cannabis community, and scientific peer review.<\/span><\/p>\n

We will call for retraction of published studies that are not up to standards and make these calls part of the\u00a0<\/span>CMAP<\/span><\/i><\/strong>\u00a0<\/i><\/span>plan to encourage scientific standards in cannabis research.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Educate the public:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to raise the level of public awareness and sophistication re the importance of cannabis and medical marijuana; to assist in engaging the public in support of these goals culturally and financially.<\/span><\/p>\n

5. Help shape public policy:<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/b><\/span>to provide useful background and to demystify cannabis research for better-informed, positive legislation.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
