Validating the Safety and Efficacy of Medical Cannabis
In order to mainstream medical cannabis into traditional healthcare, it requires validation. To achieve this validation, the industry must approach it as it does traditional pharmaceutical drugs and apply the same protocols – using clinical trials to generate real-world data on the safety and efficacy of medical cannabis products and their delivery mechanisms. In CB2 Insights’ presentation, the company will discuss what is needed in order for medical cannabis to reach the commercialization stage and how companies will need to answer to the effectiveness of what they wish to market to patients and data to support cannabinoid treatment.
