The Mohammed VI Polytechnic University (UM6P) and the National Agency for the Regulation of Cannabis-Related Activities (ANRAC) have signed a partnership agreement to work together on research into the medical and pharmaceutical uses of cannabis in Morocco.

This collaboration will focus on scientific research using tested medical methods to study how cannabis can be used to treat health problems, UM6P said in a press release. The goal is to better understand the active compounds in cannabis and how they might help treat certain illnesses safely and effectively.

The researchers will use tools like laboratory testing, computer modeling, and data analysis to learn more about how cannabis might work in medical treatments. They will follow strict health and safety rules throughout the research, added the statement.

The agreement also includes plans to share research results with professionals in the health, pharmacy, and clinical research sectors. This is to ensure that any scientific discoveries can be used in real-life treatments under proper supervision.
