After decades of cannabis research being greatly hindered, if not outright prevented, due to cannabis prohibition policies, the rate and scope of research around the world are increasing. A great example of this can be found in an international research project that involves sending cannabis seeds into space.
"On June 20, we're sending plant life beyond Earth's atmosphere to explore how it evolves in zero gravity." researchers affiliated with a project titled 'Martian Grow' wrote in a recent post on LinkedIn. "From Vandenberg to the stars — this is where cannabis research meets deep space."
"For too long, discovery has been confined to sterile labs and guarded by gatekeepers, but innovation has always thrived where curiosity is free. This project is a call to action—an open experiment driven not by profit, but by the boundless potential of human creativity." the researchers state on the project's website. "We are not funded by big pharma or controlled by financial interests. We are fueled by the desire to explore, to question, and to unlock knowledge that belongs to everyone."
The research project will be organized into a three-part action plan, and people around the world are encouraged to follow along on X, Facebook, and Instagram, in addition to signing up for email alerts via the project's website.
