Exploring Analgesic Properties of Minor Cannabinoids & Terpenes
2020-10-23 15:45 - 21:00 (Europe/Madrid) | Online
NCCIH Virtual Workshop: Analgesic Properties of Minor Cannabinoids and Terpenes
6:45am-12pm PST, 9:45am-3pm EST, 3:45 pm – 9pm CEST
About this Event
The overall goals of this workshop are twofold— to convene principal investigators funded by NCCIH on the topic of the analgesic properties of minor cannabinoids and terpenes from natural products and the underlying mechanisms. The other is to discuss current research barriers and opportunities on this topic. This workshop is aligned with NCCIH’s mission to support research on the fundamental science, safety, and usefulness of complementary and integrative health approaches. Specifically, minor cannabinoids and terpenes from natural products are part of complementary interventions supported by NCCIH. The workshop is also aligned with NCCIH’s strategic goals of advancing understanding of basic biological mechanisms of action of natural products and improving care for hard-to-manage symptoms, such as pain.
This workshop will be livestreamed. Prior to the event, a link to the videocast will be sent to those who have registered.

SCC Quarterly Meeting with Ziva Cooper, PhD: Human Laboratory Studies of Cannabis: Probing Current Trends
2020-09-06 12:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Join us for our quarterly meeting, available to all SCC members. Ziva Cooper, PhD is the featured speaker who will discuss “Controlled Human Laboratory Studies of Cannabis and Cannabinoids: Probing Current Trends in Medicinal Cannabis”.
Dr. Ziva Cooper is the Interim Director and Research Director of the UCLA Cannabis Research Initiative in the Jane and Terry Semel Institute and Associate Professor in the Department of Psychiatry. Her research involves understanding variables that influence both the therapeutic potential and adverse effects of cannabis and cannabinoids. Dr. Cooper received her PhD from the University of Michigan in Biopsychology in 2007 in the field of preclinical psychopharmacology, experience that informs her focus on translating preclinical studies of cannabinoids to the clinic using controlled human drug-administration studies. Current projects include understanding differences between men and women in their response to the pain-relieving effects of cannabis, the potential for cannabis constituents to reduce reliance on opioids, and therapeutic effects of cannabinoids in patient populations. Dr. Cooper served on the National Academies of Sciences Committee on the Health Effects of Cannabis that recently published a comprehensive report of the health effects of cannabis and cannabinoids. She is a Board Director for the College on Problems of Drug Dependence, an Associate Editor of The American Journal of Drug and Alcohol Abuse, and is on several Editorial Boards of journals including Cannabis and Cannabinoid Research and Neuropsychopharmacology.

SCC Quarterly Meeting: Cannabis in Network Pharmacology
2020-06-07 12:00 - 14:00 (America/Los_Angeles)
Join us for our quarterly meeting, available to all SCC members. Connie McLaughlin-Miley, PharmD is the featured speaker who will discuss Network Pharmacology and how cannabis may be used in this sphere. Network pharmacology is a discipline that is evolving to address the complexities of the human system’s response to the introduction of a food, plant, or pharmaceutical entity. The growing awareness and acknowledgment of the inadequacy of the one molecule/one effect model has ushered in the need for Network Pharmacology. Cannabis is an ideal candidate for characterization in this system, with its array of constituents such as cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids.
Since 2014, upon returning to her enduring interest in pharmacognosy, Dr. McLaughlin-Miley, as a clinician-researcher, educator and patient advocate, consults within the professional and patient communities to manage use of cannabinoids and other plant medicines. Typically, through her work with patients, across the spectrum of diseases as well as for general health and well-being, will provide education and guidance throughout the course of their experience. Following the available literature and using an evidence-based approach, she recommends cannabinoids and typically suggests appropriate formulations, dosing and titration to address patient-specific needs in areas such as pain (opioid reduction and elimination), cancer and those issues related to chemotherapy and/or cancer experiences.
Dr. McLaughlin-Miley completed her Pharmacy education at the University of Michigan and a post-doctorate Fellowship in Health Economics and Outcomes Research with the University of South Carolina, Columbia and Glaxo-Smith Kline. She also earned a Master’s in Business Administration, focused in Health Policy, from the University of California, Irvine. For several years within the Bio-Pharmaceutical Industry, her research was focused on clinical and quality-of-life issues and she has published across a variety of therapeutic areas including oncology, pain and women’s health.
The meeting is remote and available to all SCC members. Members can log in to the membership portal for instructions on joining the meeting.
