CannaKids has been sharing their meticulously tracked patient data in order to help further assist in their research. Furthermore, CannaKids, is funding the next four years of this research where both pediatric and adult cancers will be studied for cannabinoid sensitivity. 

In addition to the research in Israel, CannaKids is in the planning phase with a major hospital in California and is expected to start in-hospital clinical trials on pediatric patients this year.
