This talk will break down the seemingly infinite variables that contribute to the effects of cannabis. By discussing the chemistry of cannabinoids, terpenes, and the endocannabinoid system we will begin to identify the causes of desired effects. Extraction and delivery afford even more opportunities to fine tune cannabis experiences. This talk will explore extraction, vaporization, and even DIY nano-emulsions.
