The Impact We Make
The ICR Provides Research with Real World Impact
We invite you to join us for a meaningful evening in support of the Institute of Cannabis Research (ICR) at CSU Pueblo — a pioneering organization advancing cannabis science through rigorous, evidence-based research.
Since its founding in 2016, the ICR has stood at the forefront of cannabis research, becoming one of the first institutes of its kind housed within a regional comprehensive university. Our mission is clear: to conduct unbiased, innovative research for the public good and ensure that findings are accessible and impactful.
Through international conferences, the Journal of Cannabis Research, and monthly webinar series, the ICR continues to engage leading scientists, clinicians, and educators across Colorado and beyond. Yet, the demand for high-quality cannabis research far exceeds the resources currently available.
That’s where you come in.
By attending and supporting the ICR’s Cannabis Science Advancement & Networking Gala, you help accelerate the advancement of cannabis science — fueling discoveries that inform public policy, improve patient care, and promote responsible innovation. Your contribution builds on the State of Colorado’s visionary investment in the ICR and ensures that this vital work continues to grow.
We hope you’ll join us on Thursday, May 28, 2026, at Meow Wolf in Denver, Colorado, for an evening of purpose as we celebrate 10 years of cannabis research and the visionaries leading the way.
