“Democrat Gov. John Hickenlooper on Wednesdayapproved legislation to fund observational and clinical research assessing the safety and therapeutic efficacy of cannabis. The measure earmarks up to $10 million within the state’s medical marijuana program fund to be utilized specifically to “gather objective scientific research regarding the efficacy of administering marijuana and its component parts as part of medical treatment.” The law also establishes a ‘scientific advisory council,’ which may include expert participants from around the nation, to evaluate research proposals and make recommendations in regards to funding requests.”
