the ​Cannabis Center of Excellence, inc
MISSION 

Established in late 2019, the Virtual Cannabis Center of Excellence, INC (CCOE), is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that virtually brings together citizens, medical patients, academics, researchers, community members, healthcare professionals, policy makers, and the cannabis industry to drive change in access, best practices, and social justice in cannabis industry. We do this by sharing online, collaborative, and innovative research, education & program resources that drive change. 

Our mission is to incorporate citizen-based scientific methods and a platform for community engagement online into mainstream cannabis adult and medical cannabis research, education, and programming. Doing so provides an online vehicle for citizen voices to be amplified to create collective change. Our goals are to: 
  1. Democratize access to cannabis data collected through our cannabis citizen-science research studies to further discovery & innovation in the medical & adult use cannabis industry.
  2. Host a virtual platform for citizens & medical patients to engage in developing their own research studies & educational programs related to medical & adult use cannabis.
  3. Co-create & promote meaningful data-driven recommendations and best practices for cannabis restorative justice driven by community members input, utilizing citizen science methodology.  
  4. Conduct rigorous research studies with academic partners that focus on understanding the medicinal properties of cannabis, the social realities of medical & adult-use cannabis, and documenting models that demonstrate meaningful restorative justice in the cannabis industry.
