Society of Cannabis Clinicians
Summary
The Society of Cannabis Clinicians (SCC) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization registered in the United States, dedicated to educating healthcare professionals about the medical use of cannabis. Its mission is to unite into one association members of the various medical specialties and allied professionals with this common purpose. SCC is one of the oldest active organization of its kind, and one of the few global non-profit medical societies related to cannabis and cannabinoids, along with the International Cannabinoid Research Society and the International Association for Cannabinoid Medicines.
The group was first established in 1999 by California-based psychiatrist Tod Mikuriya, MD as a project of the California Cannabis Research Medical Group to facilitate voluntary medical standards for physician-approved cannabis under California law (HSC §11362.5).
The California Cannabis Research Medical Group (CCRMG) was established as a 501c3 non-profit by Tod Mikuriya in 1999, to help physicians share and exchange data about cannabis use by their patients, essentially in California around the San Francisco area. The CCRMG members published their research findings, such as president Jeffrey Hergenrather's survey of patients with Crohn's disease, in the unconventional Journal of Cannabis in Clinical Practice O'Shaughnessy, and developed an online research archive. CCMRG maintained the William B. O'Shaughnessy Archives.
After 2004, SCC progressively took over the CCRMG as it started expanding beyond California, as other US States opened access to medical cannabis.
In 2015, SCC launched a Medical Cannabis Continuing Education program, worth 12 CME credits, which in sequential order, a series of 12 courses designed to take a practicing clinician from the basics of the plant, its history and the underlying physiologic (endocannabinoid) system to the pharmacology and clinical practice of medical cannabis.
In 2019, SCC started an International Committee and launched several national chapters outside the United States, claiming presence in 21 countries and three active chapters.
