Earlier this month, the New York State Office of Cannabis Management and Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center co-hosted the inaugural NYS Medical Cannabis Symposium on Friday, September 20th, 2024.
The event was a successful effort to bring together healthcare practitioners, researchers, and trainees to explore the science of cannabis and its role in patient care.
The event featured esteemed speakers like Dr. Julia H. Arnsten, MD, MPH, Dr. Amy Case, MD, FAAHPM and Daniel Ryszka, RPh, PMSP, who provided valuable insights into the endocannabinoid system and the pharmacology of cannabis.
