In this special keynote session, Sue Sisley, MD—a pioneering medical cannabis researcher and volunteer medical director for more than 40 state cannabis licensees—will share her journey of navigating the rocky road of medical cannabis research, in all its scientific and legal complexity. Dr. Sisley will outline cutting-edge discoveries from her roles in cannabis studies for pain management, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as a substitution therapy for opioids, and more. Then, she will walk through how she and two young lawyers took on the DEA and DOJ through litigation and succeeded—effectively eliminating the 52-year-old government monopoly on cultivating cannabis for Schedule I research. Don’t miss the opportunity to hear from an industry trailblazer whose courage and perseverance has broadened medical cannabis horizons and helped fix a broken system for generations to come.
