King's College London spearheads the largest ever independent study into cannabis use

Post by Bifton »

It may be too late to sign up now, but will be interested to see the results. Is this another small step to decriminalisation of our favourite plant based product??

I have added the first few paragraphs and the links to the article and questionnaire if you would like to read further.

The Medical Research Council has allocated over £2.5 million of funding to Cannabis & Me, a scientific study into the effects of cannabis on the human brain.

The largest independent study of its kind, Cannabis & Me will explore the environmental and biological factors that explain the different effects people experience when using cannabis.

Headed up by Dr Marta Di Forti, the study will use a combination of DNA genetic and epigenetics testing, psychological and cognitive analysis, and virtual reality to understand the link between a user’s biological makeup and the effect cannabis has on them. In particular, the study will aim to identify the environmental (e.g. history of trauma), genetic and epigenetic markers that are most likely to cause mental health and social problems in users.
