Chicago, IL–(ENEWSPF)–July 7, 2011. Yesterday, the International Cannabinoid Research Society (ICRS) began its 21st annual symposium in St. Charles, Illinois, just outside of Chicago . Notably, this year’s symposium is sponsored in part by an array of pharmaceutical companies, the U.S. National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), and ElSohly Laboratories, Inc., the federal government’s only licensed source of research-grade cannabis (marijuana) used in therapeutic studies. The symposium features poster presentations by four members of the Multidisciplinary Scientific Advisory Board of Americans for Safe Access — Dr. William Courtney, Dr. Jeff Hergenrather, Jahan Marcu and Dr. Amanda Reiman.
