Dispensary-Based Research: An Untapped Source
Reiman, Amanda
Since the first medical marijuana law was passed
in 1996, dispensaries have become the epicenter
of patient interaction, information sharing and
scientific advances in the cultivation, analysis
and manufacturing of cannabis and cannabis
products. Great potential exists in harnessing what
is happening at dispensaries for the purposes
of expanding our knowledge of cannabis and
cannabis use. This talk will review the research
on marijuana use that has been conducted at
medical marijuana dispensaries and discuss how
such research can advance knowledge of the
role of cannabis as a palliative treatment and
curative agent. Future directions and possibilities
for dispensary-based research will be explored.; Lecture delivered on Monday, April 29, 2013 by Amanda Reiman, for the Humboldt Institute for Interdisciplinary Marijuana Research First Annual Speaker Series. Dr. Reiman is the Policy Manager of California for the Drug Policy Alliance and a lecturer in the School of Social Welfare at UC Berkeley.
