How can a multidisciplinary approach enhance the ethical oversight of cannabinoid research? A multidisciplinary approach enhances ethical oversight of cannabinoid research by integrating diverse perspectives from fields such as medicine, ethics, sociology, and law. This collaborative framework allows for a more comprehensive evaluation of ethical implications, ensuring that all potential impacts on participants and communities are considered. Involving ethicists in the research design process can help identify and mitigate ethical dilemmas early on, fostering a proactive rather than reactive approach to ethical oversight. Furthermore, such collaboration can facilitate dialogue among stakeholders, improving the understanding of public concerns and expectations regarding cannabinoid research. Ultimately, a multidisciplinary perspective fosters a more holistic approach to ethical considerations, enhancing the integrity of research (Miller et al., 2021).
