A key takeaway from the inaugural March 2019 Trailblazers event was the need to support clinical research and evidence-based education on medical cannabis, with the community viewing it as the missing link to establishing trust in the burgeoning industry. 

As a result, Trailblazers has partnered with the Wholistic Research and Education Foundation, a leading public non-profit dedicated to exploring the health benefits of cannabis through funding both clinical and scientific research, and leveraging this evidence-based data for education and advocacy. Most recently, Wholistic successfully funded the largest private medicinal cannabis research in U.S. history. 

The collaboration launched at the second gathering of the Trailblazers community is intended to support initiatives that can bring radical transparency to the cannabis marketplace via medical research, education and advocacy. Furthermore, the strategic partnership between Trailblazers and Wholistic will serve to lower the barriers to exploring the health benefits of cannabis and educating the public by augmenting unique collaborations between the top academic research institutes and industry leaders.

About Wholistic Research and Education Foundation: Wholistic Research and Education Foundation is a California-based nonprofit dedicated to exploring the health benefits of CBD-rich therapeutics through funding clinical and scientific research as well as increasing safe and legal access to those in need via advocacy and education.
