NIDA calls for new pathway for cannabis research

On January 14, the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) issued an announcement calling for more research into cannabis and cannabis policy. “The greatly increased availability of cannabis over the last two decades has outpaced our understanding of the public‐health impacts of the drug,” NIDA stated. “It is now available for medical purposes in most states, and adults may now purchase it for recreational use in nearly half the states.”
