// Definition
A landmark event at the National Institutes of Health titled 'Marijuana Cannabinoids: A Neuroscience Summit' where heads of NIH, NIMH, and NIDA endorsed cannabinoid research.
// From the Episode
Rick Doblin described this summit as a turning point. The heads of NIH and NIDA were endorsing medical marijuana research into isolated cannabinoids. A researcher from University of Sydney presented on a $34 million grant for cannabinoid research — the largest in the university's history — funded by a grandfather whose grandchild's pediatric epilepsy was treated with CBD. The summit represented a shift in federal attitudes toward cannabis research.
