Cannabis safety is shaped by the people who lead, the programs that educate, and the products and innovations that solve real-world problems. The Cannabis Safety Awards celebrate the individuals, organizations, initiatives, and ideas making a meaningful difference in 2026.
By spotlighting strong leadership, effective education, practical solutions, and innovation, the awards bring greater visibility to approaches that can strengthen cannabis safety while protecting medical cannabis access.
The Awards for Individuals recognize people who are helping move cannabis safety conversations beyond politics, stigma, and conventional assumptions and toward evidence, accountability, practical solutions, and informed action. These honorees may be investigating difficult issues, advancing research, elevating patient experiences, educating the public, building coalitions, or using public office to improve cannabis policy.
