Pennsylvania Area Universities to Begin Research on Medical Marijuana
Objective Medical Marijuana studies to explore the potential.
Pennsylvania schools will research the effects and potential of medical marijuana as part of government-mandated research on cannabis. Florida is thought to be looking into programs. These schools will need to partner with cannabis companies to assist with the research.
Penn’s Perelman School of Medicine has been selected as one of eight medical schools in Pennsylvania to have been approved by Gov. Tom Wolf to begin research on the effects and potential of medical marijuana this past week. Pennsylvania is the first state to implement government-mandated research on cannabis, although Florida and other states are considering designing similar programs of their own.
Other medical schools approved for this program include Drexel University, Pennsylvania State University, Temple University, and University of Pittsburgh.
Despite granting government-led research on marijuana, Pennsylvania is still far from legalizing the drug. Marijuana is considered a Schedule I controlled substance with a “high potential for abuse” according to the state government. Because of that, the medical school will be unable to conduct any research on the actual drug itself. Instead, the labs must instead rely on data provided by a partner cannabis company.
