Pe253 Democratizing Clinical Trials for Cannabis & Hemp

There’s a huge gap in the cannabis market that is unlike any other industry, plant or drug. There are tens of thousands of cannabis/ hemp products on the shelf, while only a handful are available through the pharmaceutical industry. Yet it is only the few pharmaceutical cannabis products being studied through clinical trials. Dr. Jeff Chen, CEO & Co-Founder of Radicle Science, is on a mission to change that.

Pe252 What’s Actually Known about Cannabis & Cancer?

Kent Vrana PhD, Pharmacology Department Chair & Professor at the Penn State Neuroscience Institute, has been researching molecular neuropharmacology for over 30 years. In his role as Director of Penn State’s Designated Medical Marijuana Center, he’s developed a keen interest in both the medical potential - and the possible harms - of whole plant cannabis & cannabinoid isolates. We discuss the current knowns & unknowns around how cannabinoids fight cancer, whether or not the science behind CBG will live up to marketing hype, and important pharmaceutical drug interactions to look out for when you’re considering CBD or cannabis for medical needs.

Pe247 Gaps & Politics in Cannabis Treatment for Patients

The cannabis industry was built around medical patients, but as federal legalization looms, will those same patients be forgotten in this new regulatory landscape.

Dr. Jordan Tishler is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School and spent 15 years at the VA as an Emergency Physician. He started InhaleMD when those organizations wouldn’t allow him to discuss cannabis with his patients. He then started the Association of Cannabinoid Specialists to address patient care and lobbying for a proper medical cannabis program when federal legalization happens.

Pe245 This Led to the Modern Understanding of our ECS

Greg Gerdeman’s Ph.D. dissertation in Pharmacology from Vanderbilt University was one of the first studies to discover endocannabinoids acting as so-called “retrograde messengers” in the brain, which has become a foundation to modern understanding of the ECS and the effects of cannabis. After multiple roles in the industry, Greg started NASHCX to focus on the future of hemp markets.
