Cannabis Science has created a website called iCannabinoid that it hopes will become the premier online source of medical cannabis news and information.
It is seeking feedback on the site so it can tweak it as need be. It hopes to hear from patients, doctors, patient advocates, parents, researchers, government and industry officials, journalists and others who are interested in medical cannabis.
There is a growing interest in medicinal cannabis as a treatment for multiple sclerosis and other conditions.
Site visitors will find information about different cannabis strains and the science behind medical cannabis products. They will also learn which health conditions it can address.
Another feature is local, state, national, and international laws on medical cannabis, including a state-by-state rundown. Visitors can also find scientific studies on medical cannabis.
Two innovative features are My Health Modules and the iCannabinoid Ambassador Program, according to a press release.
Visitors can use the My Health Modules to keep track of their medical records, set health goals, and stay on top of other health-related information. The feature will let them create medication lists, monitor dosage results, and keep track of their heart condition, blood pressure, sleep patterns, pain levels and other measures.
Site visitors will be able to keep their health goals and milestones to themselves or share them. This feature will allow them to discuss their medical cannabis treatments and results in chat rooms, blogs and other online platforms. Users can also create discussion groups to connect people of similar interests.
