In the summer of 2024, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) released a Hemp Plant Reference Material to help labs accurately measure the amount of THC, CBD, toxic elements and other compounds in cannabis products. It will also help producers and state regulators ensure that cannabis products are safe to use and accurately labeled.
Today, we’re going to talk about NIST's Hemp Plant Reference Material and about improving cannabis science with leading experts in the field of cannabis medicine.
Our guests are Dr. Bryon Adinoff, president of the Doctors for Drug Policy Reform, and Dr. Leslie Mendoza Temple, former Chair of the Medical Cannabis Advisory Board for the Illinois Department of Public Health.
Dr. Adinoff is an addiction psychiatrist, neuroscientist, academician, and advocate. He was appointed Clinical Professor at the University of Colorado School of Medicine following his retirement as Distinguished Professor of Alcohol and Drug Abuse Research in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center and as a psychiatrist for 30 years with the Department of Veterans Affairs. He has published over 200 papers and book chapters on the neurobiology and treatment of addiction and is Editor-in-Chief of The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse.
Dr. Temple is a Clinical Associate Professor for NorthShore University HealthSystem’s Department of Family Medicine and Medical Director of the NorthShore Integrative Medicine Program. She was recently appointed as an endowed Chair of Integrative Medicine by the Owen L. Coon Foundation. She is also a Clinical Associate Professor in Family Medicine at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine.
