In response to a call by the medical community for guidelines on the use of medical cannabis in accordance with new state government regulations, Colorado State University’s Institute of Cannabis Research will launch a national, medical cannabis patient data registry.
The development of the registry has been led by CSU-Pueblo faculty researchers and an off-campus collaborator. The institute is funded by the state of Colorado.
According to institute officials, national estimates suggest that more than 1 million U.S. citizens legally consume cannabis to relieve symptoms from such diseases as multiple sclerosis, HIV, cancer or epilepsy.
