MEDICAL CANNABIS RESEARCH FUND
The Medical Cannabis Research Fund ( MCRF ) is a multifaculty project at the University of New Mexico that was formed for “ conducting scientifically valid and unbiased research on medical cannabis across all areas of social and biomedical sciences .” Since its founding in 2016 , the MCRF has conducted a large-scale epidemiological study on the effects of medical marijuana usage on patients suffering from a wide range of health issues . It cites the lack of useful scientific research findings on cannabis with realistic THC levels as one of the many challenges that it is looking to address .

INSTITUTE OF CANNABIS RESEARCH
The Institute of Cannabis Research at the University of Colorado at Pueblo is unique for two reasons : it is a partnership between the state , local , and university administration and governments , and it is responsible for publishing the firstever scholarly journal dedicated to the research of medical marijuana , the Journal of Cannabis Studies . “ The primary function of the institute will be the generation of knowledge to science , medicine , and society through investigation of the benefits and risks associated with the use of cannabis . Research findings will be used to translate discoveries into innovative applications that improve lives ,” Lesley Di Mare , University of Colorado at Pueblo president , said during the institute ’ s opening . “ The Institute aligns with the university ’ s mission as a provider of education , research , and service to the region and will create new educational opportunities for CSU-Pueblo students . The institute will comply with applicable Colorado and federal laws in its work with cannabis .”
These are not the only institutes of higher learning devoted to the cause of medical marijuana research , though they are certainly some of the more prominent ones in the US . Other universities outside of the US have or are about to begin similar programs . These include England ’ s Oxford University and Israel ’ s Hebrew University , where some of the first academic work on medicinal cannabis took place in the 1960s and 1970s by renowned researcher
Dr . Raphael Mechoulam .
