I work in an endocannabinoid lab at the University of California in Irvine. My aim as a researcher is to investigate the augmented state that marijuana provides and how the brain supports it. However, I understand there are international laws and a considerable amount of “red tape” that continues to impede research in this area. How can policy makers and the scientific community in Washington or Colorado find a way to use the marijuana legalized in their states for research in healthy human subjects?

Thank you,
Conor
