The SIU Cannabis Science Center was established to form a collaborative network for cannabis research. Working groups across campus work together with a combined interest in cannabis. Groups include projects in the areas of Agricultural, Analytical, Biomedical, and Community. The resulting clearinghouse of related cannabis information is reviewed and helps define future goals of the center. To find cannabis-friendly events in Illinois, visit here.
