Cannabinol (CBN) is one of the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Unlike CBD or CBG, CBN has psychoactive properties (however, quite mild compared to those of THC.) It is a partial agonist for CB1 receptors, but more so for CB2 receptors. Unlike many other cannabinoids, the majority of CBN is not derived directly […]
OVERVIEW Cannabis’ current regulation in the United States, as well as around the world, limits the vast research needed to educate the public about its advantages. These findings sought to provide medical evidence of cannabis’ benefits and risks in cancer, respiratory disease, immunity, therapeutics effects, psychosocial, mental health, substance abuse, and others to the audience […]
As a military veteran, I have seen the struggles of my peers. As a congressman, I’d like to do something about that. I am part of a Facebook group with the second platoon I served with. We talk every day. Sometimes it’s lighthearted. We share stories about our lives. We reminisce about our time together. […]
The cannabinoid acids are the precursor cannabinoids that eventually produce the active, non-acidic cannabinoids (CBG, THC, CBD, etc.) When the cannabis plant is still growing, cannabinoids typically exist only in their acidic forms. Only after the decarboxylation process takes place (usually a result of heating or time) do the cannabinoids become “activated.” Varin cannabinoids (CBGV, […]

Dr. Ryan Vandrey, of Johns Hopkins University, joins us to discuss the best routes of administration for different conditions. For example, when treating chronic pain, oral administration is preferable, as it yields a more sustained drug effect. However, with a symptom like nausea, inhalation would likely be the preferred route of administration, as eating or […]
CBC CANNABINOID Cannabichromene (CBC) was discovered in 1966 by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam and Y. Gaoni, and then almost simultaneously by Dr. Claussen and his team that same year. CBC is considered to be one of the most abundant naturally occurring cannabinoids in the cannabis plant (along with THC and CBD.) Because CBC does a poor […]

I started Sweet Grass Kitchen in 2009, and I still own 100% of my business. There seem to be more women in leadership positions within the cannabis space than in most other industries. It’s difficult for me personally to say what variances there are—if any—between working for a man and working for a woman, because […]
Cannabigerol (CBG) was discovered in 1964 and is one of the many cannabinoids found in the cannabis plant. Most of the CBG produced by the plant eventually converts into other cannabinoids, like THC or CBD. Because of this, CBG is considered the “mother cannabinoid” and makes up only a small percentage of a fully-grown cannabis […]
