From Farm to Bedside: Advancing Clinical Translation of evidence-based Medical Cannabis and other phytomedicines products for global health And Development
Over 30 USA states and a growing number of countries around the world have now legalized medical cannabis. Frontier research is now making it possible for cannabinoids and flavonnoids to be delivered directly to disease sites/targets with minimal or no side effects, which have hampered clinical translation. At the same time global health collaborations are beginning to bring evidence-based plant-based medicines from Low and Middle Income Countries to the world stage as low-cost remedies. This highly educational session will focus on the potential use of Medical Cannabis in healthcate, closing the global pain divide, and on leading edge international collaborations to accelerate research and clinical translation of phytomedicines in global health. Expected outcomes include: launch of the biggest phytomedicines initiative in global health education, research and care, publications, MOUs to collaborate including multiple institutions in the USA and low and middle income countries (LMIC), and industry for global health and wealth or economic development.
