The goal of the study is to bring medical cannabis more in line with other pharmaceutical products — via TheGrowthOp

In what they’re calling “a first-of-its-kind real world evidence study,” Toronto General Hospital’s Dr. Hance Clarke will lead new research designed to help medical cannabis consumers and doctors better understand how cannabinoids impact various conditions.

“We need the evidence to help us in prescribing the appropriate validated product, at the right dose, for the right patient,” he said in a release announcing the trial. “The challenge with the medical use of cannabis is that physicians and patients are unsure of the quality of products being consumed,” says Clarke. “For the first time we will have a national repository of data that can provide answers about the effectiveness of these products, to test their claims.”
