The 2022 CMCR Symposium was held on April 21-22, 2022 and celebrated the progress, policy and partnership of medicinal cannabis research. A series of scientific talks and panel discussions covered clinical and translational aspects of medicinal cannabis research, public policy, and diversification of the drug supply. The symposium is the flagship educational activity of the CMCR. These recordings will allow investigators to stay abreast of scientific developments, review current research findings, and generate ideas for future research relevant to medicinal cannabis.

2. Recognize the relationships among biological factors relevant to cannabinoid action.
3. Identify gaps in scientific knowledge and methods that would advance our understanding of disease and the therapeutic potential of cannabis and canabinoids as medicine.
