The American Council of Medical Cannabis has reached a landmark agreement with key industry figures in hopes of advancing federal legislation.\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

The American Council of Cannabis Medicine (ACCM) announced a memorandum of understanding with multiple cannabis-industry stakeholders this week.<\/span><\/p>\n

It aims to increase collaboration in the sector and help legislators to gain a deeper understanding of medical cannabis and its impact in the US.<\/span><\/p>\n

But the most pressing objective is to facilitate legislation that advances medical cannabis at a federal level.<\/span><\/p>\n

The memorandum has been hailed as a \u201csignificant step forward\u201d in advancing access to medical cannabis, as well as scientific research.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It was officially announced at the ACCM\u2019s stakeholder alliance meeting on 19 April, 2021.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

“As a practicing physician for nearly 40 years, it’s exciting to see the tremendous progress being made when it comes to bona-fide healthcare uses for cannabis,\u201d commented botanist and cannabinoid-medicine thought leader,\u00a0 Jeffrey S Block, an ASCM Board of Regents member.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis memorandum represents a step forward in advancing medical access and clinical research.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Meetings included representatives from the Zermatt Medical Institute, American Society of Cannabis Medicine, Allegiance, Healthcare Freedom Hub, EM2P2, Inc., Dragonfly Wellness, Global Product Makers, CannaScripts, Member First Health Network.<\/span><\/p>\n

Association Health Partners led sessions and shared insights about moving the industry toward traditional healthcare models enabled under federal legislation<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Narith Panh, CSO for Dragonfly Wellness and ACCM Cannabis Industry Liaison Committee member stated: “As a vertically integrated company, we operate cultivation facilities, extraction and processing facilities, and retail pharmacy, so we understand all aspects of the industry. <\/span><\/p>\n

“As the voice of the medical cannabis industry, ACCM shares our vision and values. We are pleased to join the memorandum of understanding.”<\/span><\/p>\n

ACCM represents America’s medical-cannabis industry, with its members producing and distributing medical cannabis through state-licensed programs.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Its supporters include those in the healthcare industry, physicians, researchers, health and wellness providers, insurance companies, systems, and patient advocacy groups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Annabelle Manalo-Morgan PhD, Zermatt Medical Institute Research Committee chairperson, ASCM Board of Regents Member, and ACCM Clinical Research Committee co-chair added: “Real clinical research and proper legislation is long overdue. Our focus is the translation of real science merged into current medical practices for the implementation of cannabis into patient care.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCannabis needs to get to a point where leaders and the people can trust it. Our approach will revolutionise the cannabis industry and normalise the administration of cannabinoid products by the medical space.”<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
