Giving to Advance Research Findings

Marijuana has shown promise in the treatment of certain debilitating conditions, resulting in the legalization of medical use in multiple states.

But the uptake of medical marijuana use has increased more rapidly than the capabilities of scientific research activities.

Help us advance cutting-edge research to ensure the proper use and to understand the risk-benefit of medical marijuana use in relation to public health.

Giving to medical marijuana research supports conducting and disseminating of research.
