UC Comments in Response to NOT-AT-22-026, “Request for Information (RFI): Investigators’ Interests in and Barriers to Research Studies on the Health Effects of Cannabis and its Constituents”

Abstract

This comment letter responds to the National Institutes of Health’s request for information on research interests and barriers related to studying the health effects of cannabis and its constituents. UC calls for increased and broader research funding, a streamlined federal regulatory framework, improved access to cannabis products representative of those actually used by the public, and coordinated federal resources, infrastructure, training, and regulatory support to expand cannabis research.
