Research is optional, but important for better medical cannabis.
Since 2014, Santé Cannabis has been leading research in medical cannabis treatment. With the help of thousands of participating patients, we’ve advanced medical cannabis knowledge, and improved and standardized patient care.
You can help us by participating in one of our research programs.
WHY PARTICIPATE IN MEDICAL CANNABIS RESEARCH?
It’s pretty easy!
It can pave the way for medical advancements that can improve the quality of life for countless individuals.
Your voluntary contribution is invaluable to the progress of medical science.
All patients can support the understanding of medical cannabis by participating in our research program. In fact, the diversity of our patients is what makes for better research.
It does not change our standard of care.
OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO ADVANCE MEDICAL CANNABIS
We have a responsibility to drive improved knowledge about medical cannabis treatments and their effects on our patients’ symptoms and quality of life—your symptoms and quality of life.
- This includes study of Common cannabinoids, THC and CBD
- Common product formats, like dried cannabis, extracts and oral oils, sprays and capsules
- New product formats like sublingual strips, transdermal patches, creams, salves, inhalers, and other topical products

OBSERVATIONAL STUDIES
Santé Cannabis Observational Study
Our Santé Cannabis observational study follows patients over 18 years old along their treatment path. Participating only takes a few minutes and can be done remotely.
But you won’t be part of the study without your specific consent. Your choice won’t affect the care you will receive, and our team is here for your needs first and always.
Your participation can contribute to:
- Better understanding medical cannabis treatment effectiveness
- Identification of medical cannabis risks, such as side effects
- Exploration of clinical care protocols for new product formats such as capsules and topicals
- Improving treatment decisions for future medical cannabis patients
- Supporting healthcare professional training
- Cannabis use in chronic pain
Cannabis use in chronic pain
Santé Cannabis is collaborating on an observational study led by MUHC—McGill. It is looking for people older than 21 taking cannabinoids for therapeutic purposes. The study examines how different symptoms contribute to use patterns. Volunteers will be compensated for their participation.
