Arizona Health Department Seeks Info, Cost Estimates for Marijuana Clinical Trials

The Arizona Department of Health Services wants to know who has the desire and credentials to do human studies on whether marijuana can treat health conditions such as autism. Tally Largent-Milnes, PhD, assistant professor of pharmacology in the College of Medicine – Tucson, wants to someday learn if cannabis can treat migraines. “Until we are able to run these clinical trials in a well-thought out manner, we’re never going to know the answer,” she said.
