Veterans group urges council to convene experts on cannabis hyperemesis syndrome
Summary
A Veterans Action Council representative asked CFAC to create an expert review and public roundtable on cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and related CBD regulation issues, proposing Dr. Ethan Russo as a participant.
A representative from the Veterans Action Council asked the advisory council to adopt an expert-led model to study cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and related CBD regulatory issues. The presenter said the group convened Dr. Ethan Russo for background briefings and a public roundtable and asked the council to support a process for bringing experts to future meetings.
The presenter emphasized that some of the information in public circulation is not evidence-based and that targeted expert reviews could help the council identify practical public-health responses tied to potency and use patterns. "We brought in one of the, I think, world's leading experts, Doctor Ethan Russo, to come in and speak," the veteran representative said, urging the council to consider hyperemesis as an early priority for research and outreach.
Council members responded favorably and encouraged staff to propose a process for expert convenings and for including community stakeholders. The chair asked staff to come back with a plan for populating future agendas so the council can consider convening subgroups or panels as needed.
