Ending cannabis prohibition has sparked research into the drug, with some of that activity taking place in Calgary, Ottawa’s pot legalization czar said Wednesday.
Just over $500,000 will be going towards University of Calgary research on how pot prevents migraines and induces cannabinoid hyperemesis, a condition marked by severe vomiting.
Some of that money will also fund a U of C awareness program featuring cannabis cafe education focusing on harm reduction.
The trio of initiatives are part of a $24.5 million Canadian Institute of Health Research package funding 26 study projects across the country that will help explore the benefits and drawbacks of cannabis use.
