Tulalip Tribes Fund Cannabis Research

Informações:

Synopsis

The opioid crisis has hit the Tulalip Tribes pretty hard, as it has many Native American communities. The Washington tribe has come up with a unique solution. They’re putting $2 million towards research on cannabis as a treatment for opioid addiction. We hear from Les Parks, a tribal council member for the Tulalip Tribes and Annelise Barron, an associate professor of bioengineering at Stanford who is working on this research project.
