Celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Patients Out of Time

The Sixteenth National Clinical Conference on Cannabis Therapeutics, Cannabis: From Prohibition to Recognition

September 14th-16th, 2025

Dr. Greg Gerdeman is a neuroscientist, cannabinoid researcher and entrepreneur with expertise in the physiological actions of cannabis and the endocannabinoid system (ECS), as well as many facets of cannabis cultivation, extraction and medicinal use.

His studies of cannabinoid physiology helped to pioneer views of the ECS as a cellular mechanism of homeostasis, and are widely cited in scientific literature. These findings include the discovery that endocannabinoids act as so-called retrograde messengers that regulate synaptic plasticity in the brain, which has become foundational to understanding ECS biology and the effects of cannabis. His collaborative research also showed that the runner’s high is mediated in large part by endocannabinoids, strongly implicating the ECS as a contributor to the therapeutic mechanisms of physical exercise. He has directed scientific operations for legal medical cannabis companies in multiple states, and he speaks on a wide array of subjects related to the science of the human-cannabis relationship.

Learn more about Alice O'Leary Randall's story on The Road to 30 - https://patientsoutoftime.com/roadto30/

50 years ago this month, we were arrested for 4 cannabis plants on our DC apartment deck. It was the beginning of the medical ma*****na movement. This summer, the Hawaiian Cannabis Organization honored me with the 2025 Excellence in Cannabis Advocacy Award.

I can honestly say it has been a long, strange trip.

But we still have work to do. Pushback is real. Danger is afoot. Let’s protect the progress we’ve made and keep fighting for patients who need this medicine.
