Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research

The Center for Medicinal Cannabis Research (CMCR) is a California state-funded research program at UC San Diego that rigorously evaluates the medical efficacy and safety of cannabis and cannabinoids through placebo-controlled clinical trials, with regulatory expertise in Schedule I research that overlaps with psychedelic medicine. CMCR has been cited in psychedelic trial contexts for its methodological framework and experience navigating DEA/FDA processes for controlled-substance clinical research applicable to psilocybin and MDMA studies.
