About the Institute
The Journal of Cannabis Research is the official publication of the Institute of Cannabis Research (ICR), which was established in June 2016 through an innovative partnership between Colorado State University Pueblo, the state of Colorado, and Pueblo County.
The ICR is the first US multi-disciplinary cannabis research center at a regional, comprehensive institution. The primary goal of the ICR is to conduct or fund research related to cannabis and publicly disseminate the results of the research, which it does so in partnership with the Journal. It also advises other Colorado-based higher education institutions on the development of a cannabis-related curriculum and supports the translation of discoveries into innovative applications that improve lives.
