CED Clinic Volunteer Program

Where Cannabis Science Meets Culture Shift

If you’ve ever wanted to do work that matters—to shape public understanding, challenge stigma, and actually learn while contributing—this is your moment.

The CED Clinic Volunteer Program is a 3-month immersive experience designed for motivated students, early-career professionals, and curious minds who want to work alongside real clinicians, real research, and real cultural impact. You’ll be mentored by Dr. Benjamin Caplan and the CED team to turn complex cannabis science into content that educates, resonates, and moves the needle on public understanding.

This is not busywork. It’s collaborative, purposeful, and intellectually rigorous—with just enough creative chaos to keep things fun.
