A partnership between Clemson University and The Hemp Mine, our mission is to partner with academia and cannabis-industry stakeholders to advance the exploration of the cannabis plant and implement science-based research to develop the cultivation & post harvest techniques required to create a sustainable, efficient, and profitable industry.
A Consultative and Member-Driven Cannabis Cultivation & Post Harvest Research Organization

The Cannabis Research Coalition (CRC), founded by Dr. Allison Justice, is a professional group dedicated to advancing cannabis cultivation and post harvest processing. CRC partnered with Clemson University and The Hemp Mine LLC, an industry leader in cannabis genetics and production, to tackle the cultivation and post harvest challenges facing today’s cannabis industry.
Our team brings over 100 years of combined expertise in horticulture, chemistry, plant science, cannabis cultivation, and pharmacology, blending traditional practices with scientific innovation.
The CRC combines the resources of cannabis industry stakeholders—including individuals and businesses—to fund academic research that provides practical answers to industry challenges.
Our cooperative research model, inspired by successful horticulture and greenhouse research collaborations, allows members to benefit from pooled resources, gaining access to cutting-edge, science-based research at a fraction of the cost.
By partnering with colleagues, collaborators, and sometimes competitors, our members stay at the forefront of production know-how.
We've been featured in many publications and our founder, Dr. Allison Justice, is a sought after subject matter expert.
Our latest study, The Science of Smokability, will be prominently featured at this year's MJBizCon in Las Vegas.
