WSU’s Center for Cannabis Policy, Research and Outreach (CCPRO) is hosting the first annual WSU Cannabis Symposium. The focus of this year’s Symposium is to clarify and summarize how WSU researchers can be involved in cannabis-related research, support development of collaborative efforts between WSU cannabis researchers and with stakeholders, and seek guidance from the WSU cannabis research community members regarding how CCPRO may best serve them.

CCPRO Director David Gang will provide an overview of cannabis-related research at Washington State University, providing clarification on what is and is not allowed when working with cannabis. CCPRO Assistant Director Tracy Klein will discuss the current status of clinical cannabis research statewide and nationally and provide an overview of the Emerging Research Opportunities in Cannabis (EROC) seed grant program. Washington State Liquor and Cannabis Board leadership will provide an introduction into how research by state public universities (WSU in particular) could support other state efforts related to cannabis.

Research talks by Professors Carrie Cuttler, Matthew Layton, and Courtney Meehan will discuss challenges and successes in carrying out cannabis-focused research in Washington State. The day will conclude with a Strategic Planning Session/WSU Cannabis Internal Stakeholder meeting.

Lunch will be provided.

Join us in person at the Compton Union Building Junior Ballroom on October 4th, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm. Cost of attendance will be $10 per person.
