Bisogno added, “To date much of the recent scientific progress involving endocannabinoid discovery and cannabinoid insight has been accomplished outside the US and in countries like Canada, Israel, Spain, Germany and Denmark. However, as cannabis legalization accelerates across the United States, cannabis research registrations are increasing – up 40 percent since 2017 in the US.”
