paul-g-mahlberg-cannabis-researcherDr. Paul G. Mahlberg was a Professor of Biology (plant biology) and Senior Fellow of the Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Indiana University. He received his Ph.D. in Botany at the University of California, Berkeley and his MS and BS degrees in Botany at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. He has studied cannabis for over thirty years and has published over thirty articles on cannabis (Cannabis sativa), a tall annual dioecious plant group which includes both industrial hemp and marijuana. Wrote Laboratory Program in Plant Anatomy, and published two educational films. Served as a consulting editor to Academic Press in the preparation of ten monographs. Collaborated with Dr. Ivan Bocsa, Kompolt, Hungary, in a three-year USDA sponsored research study on hemp, and with Dr. Eun Soo Kim, Seoul, Korea, on organization and composition of glandular trichomes in cannabis and related plants. Served as a consultant to the United Nations Industrial Organization, Vienna, on industrial processing of raw opiates; to the University of Mississippi, School of Pharmacy, in its cannabis program; and to private companies in studies on secondary products of plants. Member of the board of directors of the Door County (Wisconsin) Land Trust which is dedicated to preservation of ecologically important land.

One of only two federal DEA permits to grow cannabis in the United States is held by Dr. Mahlberg. His research program began over thirty years ago and continues to the present, specializing in the ultra structure of the resin-producing gland and the biogenesis of its cannabinoids. With his post-doctoral fellows and graduate students, he has explored these and other topics important to the definition of cannabis as either a drug or a fiber and food plant.

Dr. Mahlberg’s most recent cannabis article, co-authored with his student Dr. Karl Hillig, is “A Chemotaxonomic Analysis of Cannabinoid Variation in Cannabis (Cannabaceae).” It was published in American Journal of Botany 91:966-975, 2004. A list of Dr. Mahlberg’s technical reports on cannabis appears below in their entirety for the public to review. His studies were directed to analyses of various cannabinoids and related secretory products, and their subcellular localization during plant development.
