Veterans group urges council to study cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and convene experts
Summary
A representative of the Veterans Action Council asked CFAC to prioritize a study and expert roundtable on cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and to develop processes to inform the council with evidence-based briefings.
Michael Crowitz, representing an ad hoc Veterans Action Council group, asked the council to consider a focused initiative on cannabis hyperemesis syndrome and to use expert roundtables to separate evidence-based findings from non-scientific claims. Crowitz said his group had engaged Dr. Ethan Russo and proposed a model of pre-briefing with experts followed by public conversation to inform council recommendations.
The chair responded that the council should establish processes to solicit expert input and that staff would work with members to populate future agendas. Members suggested using subgroups or regulatory review committees to manage workload and ensure subject-matter expertise informs council deliberations.
