Toronto CA
The Canadian Cannabis Research Summit 2026 takes place from May 27-29 at the University of Toronto and is Canada's leading academically-oriented cannabis conference. While many industry events focus on trade and distribution, the summit concentrates on research, clinical trials, and evidence-based applications. The program is shaped by a three-part approach combining science, medicine, and policy.
The program features presentations on cannabinoid pharmacology, the endocannabinoid system, pain research, psychiatry, oncology, and public health. The scientific component is complemented by sessions on the regulation of research projects, patient access, and the role of pharmacies in the Canadian system. Physicians, scientists, pharmaceutical representatives, and policymakers are invited to attend.
For the German medical cannabis community, the summit is particularly relevant: Canada is one of the most important suppliers for the German medicinal cannabis system, and many clinical studies on cannabinoids are conducted at Canadian universities. Those looking to establish contacts in academic research or pursue continuing education in 2026 will find the right setting in Toronto. As of April 2026.
