The mission of the International Cannabinoid Research Society is to (1) foster cannabinoid research; (2) promote the exchange of scientific information and perspectives about Cannabis, the cannabinoids, and endocannabinoids through the organization of scientific meetings; (3) serve as a source of reliable information regarding the chemistry, pharmacology, therapeutic uses, toxicology and the behavioral, psychological, and social effects of Cannabis and its constituents, of synthetic and endogenous compounds that interact with cannabinoid receptors and of any compounds that target other components of the endocannabinoid system.The ICRS is a non-political, non-religious organization dedicated to scientific research in all fields of the cannabinoids, ranging from biochemical, chemical and physiological studies of the endogenous cannabinoid system to studies of the abuse potential of non-medical Cannabis. In addition to acting as a source for impartial information on Cannabis and the cannabinoids, the main role of the ICRS is to provide an open forum for researchers to meet and discuss their research. ICRS MembershipThe International Cannabinoid Research Society is a scientific association whose members are active researchers in the field of endogenous, plant-derived and synthetic cannabinoids and related bioactive lipids.
Join ICRS now to stay connected with the global cannabinoid research community. Membership also grants access to exclusive members-only content and discussion boards, discounted registration fees on the annual symposium of the cannabinoids, and more! ICRS Membership represents 40+ countries, celebrating diversity, equality and apex academics.
Join TodayAbout UsThe ICRS first met in 1990, and officially incorporated in 1992, but our founding members carried on a decades-long tradition of sharing research-based findings with one another. Our shared goals are to act as a source for impartial information on Cannabis, cannabinoids, and endocannabinoids, and to provide an open forum for researchers to meet and discuss their research.
In addition to studying the underlying physiological systems that are activated by cannabinoids, our members build new research tools and address community-based issues of substance use disorders.
