Dr. Sue Sisley, who was fired from her research position at the University of Arizona in July, has been awarded a $2 million grant from Colorado to continue her study on marijuana and PTSD.
After an uncertain few months, Colorado has welcomed a once-shunned marijuana researcher with open arms.
Dr. Sue Sisley, who was controversially fired from her teaching position at the University of Arizona in July, has been recognized with a $2 million grant from the Rocky Mountain state to continue her medical research.
The pot pioneer — who has expressed suspicion that it was political influence that resulted in her abrupt termination — had up until now feared that her study of marijuana’s effects on post-traumatic stress disorder, or PTSD, would be long halted without a lab.
Thanks to the generous grant, Sisley’s study into the potential benefits, specifically for U.S. veterans, can go on.
