People across Michigan are purchasing cannabis at high levels, but researchers are unable to study many of the products their neighbors are consuming. As cannabis use continues to grow, experts are calling for better research policies and changes to federal laws so they can better support public health information, decisions and research.
Michigan State University expert Omayma Alshaarawy studies cannabis use and cardiometabolic health and has more than 50 published papers on related topics. Here, the associate professor in the MSU College of Human Medicine shares her perspective on the importance of expanding cannabis research to reflect the products Michigan residents use. Excerpts are taken from Alshaarawy’s article in The Conversation.
