E173-1 The Future of Cannabis Research: AI, Big Data, and the National Cannabis Registry with Johannes Thrul Part 1

What truth can big data unlock about medical cannabis?

Dr. Johannes Thrul from Johns Hopkins talks about cannabis use disorder, psychiatric risks, THC intoxication, and the groundbreaking Cannabis Health Research Initiative.

The ambitious Cannabis Health Research Initiative is a groundbreaking effort to build a national medical cannabis registry and research database. Dr. Thrul shares how the National Cannabis Study will track new medical cannabis users over time, analyze biomarkers and electronic health records, and use AI to identify if medicinal cannabis is helping or not. The goal: generate real-world evidence about the benefits, risks, and clinical applications of cannabinoids—helping researchers design better clinical trials and improve patient care.

Listen now to learn how real-world data may reshape the science of cannabis medicine.
