Clinical Studies Available to Greenleaf Patients

At Greenleaf Medical Clinic, we’re committed to helping patients stay informed about opportunities that may advance care through research. As part of that commitment, we share information about clinical studies across Canada that patients may be eligible to participate in.

These studies are conducted by independent researchers, academic institutions, and healthcare organizations. While Greenleaf is not responsible for running these studies, we aim to connect interested patients with research opportunities exploring the use of medical cannabis for chronic conditions.

Participating in clinical research can help contribute to a growing body of evidence around cannabis-based treatments, including their impact on symptom management, quality of life, and overall care outcomes.

Why Clinical Research Matters

Clinical research plays an important role in building a stronger, evidence-based understanding of medical cannabis. As its use continues to grow, more data is needed to better understand:

• Which cannabinoids are most effective for specific conditions
• How cannabis interacts with other medications
• Optimal dosing approaches for different patients

By making patients aware of relevant studies, we hope to support broader research efforts that may shape the future of medical cannabis care in Canada.

What to Expect as a Study Participant

Participation in any clinical study is voluntary and managed by the organization conducting the research. If you qualify, the study team will provide full details, including:

• The purpose and goals of the study
• What participation involves
• Potential benefits and risks
• Privacy and safety protections
• Any compensation or support (if applicable)

You can choose to withdraw from a study at any time. Participation will not affect your ongoing care at Greenleaf.

Who Can Participate

Each study has its own eligibility criteria based on factors such as medical condition, current treatments, age, and location. Studies may focus on areas such as:

• Chronic pain
• PTSD and anxiety
• Sleep disorders and insomnia
• Neurological conditions
• Inflammatory disorders

Both new and existing patients may be eligible, depending on the study requirements.
