Cannabis Research Expansion: New Centers and National Agenda

This act aims to increase knowledge about cannabis, its health effects, and safety. Specialized research centers will be established to conduct studies on medical applications, side effects, and safe use of cannabis. This means citizens can expect more reliable information about cannabis, which may influence their health and safety decisions.
Key points
A national cannabis research agenda will be developed, focusing on safety, efficacy in treating diseases, impact on at-risk populations (children, pregnant women), and long-term effects of use.
Data on cannabis use in the population will be collected, including health and demographic data, to better understand its impact on various age groups.
Higher education institutions can be designated as Centers of Excellence in Cannabis Research, receiving funding for interdisciplinary research and training.
Researchers at these Centers of Excellence will have easier access to cannabis products for research purposes, without fear of legal sanctions, if studies comply with state law.
