About Cannabinoid & Endocannabinoid Drug Development Summit

With an expedited FDA pathway and rising interest in cannabinoids, the drug development landscape was rapidly advancing in 2025. New CB1 and CB2-targeting candidates were progressing toward regulatory approval for conditions like weight management, pain, and neurological disorders. Both phytocannabinoid and synthetic drugs aimed to follow in the footsteps of Epidiolex, Marinol, Syndros, and Cesamet.

In its 8th year, the Cannabinoid & Endocannabinoid Drug Development Summit featured a new business and investor panel, IP protection sessions, and interactive regulatory discussions, plus insights from the year’s key milestones and clinical lessons shared by leading biotech innovators.
