PHILADELPHIA — The Pennsylvania Department of Health is seeking more marijuana businesses “to broaden the field of applicants” partnering with the eight state medical schools on research into the health effects of cannabis.
The department issued temporary regulations this month to allow the approved health systems to pair with more than one potential marijuana organization. Previously, the medical schools were operating under the assumption that they could only sign a contract with one cannabis grower. New applications are required for growers to participate in the research program.
