Veterans group urges research on cannabis hyperemesis syndrome; offers expert access
Summary
A Veterans Action Council member asked the council to adopt a process for quickly studying cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and related CBD regulatory issues, citing a roundtable with Dr. Ethan Russo.
A representative of the Veterans Action Council told the Cannabis Public Health Advisory Council that the group convened experts, including Dr. Ethan Russo, for a study and public roundtable on cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and asked the council how to bring such issues forward for study and action.
"We brought in one of, I think, the world's leading experts, Dr. Ethan Russo, to come in and speak," the veterans representative said, arguing the council should consider a model of expert roundtables to address pressing public-health topics such as hyperemesis and CBD regulation. The representative asked what next steps would be to get such topics on the council's agenda.
The chair responded that staff would propose a process to populate the agenda and that the council would consider engagement strategies and expert panels in future meetings.
Why it matters: The request highlights an example of stakeholder-driven public-health priorities the council may triage as it expands oversight across medical and adult-use cannabis products.
