Potcast 241: Curious About Cannabis
We’re nerding out on cannabis education today with one of the industry’s best and most passionate educators. You hear me repeatedly say how nuanced the plant and our experience with it are. Well, the more you know, the better the plant and your relationship with it grow.
So, today’s potcast is for anyone looking to dive into their canna curiosities and engage in big talk about our favorite plant. Jason Wilson is a natural products researcher and the cannabis science educator responsible for building Curious About Cannabis - the cannabis science learning platform - dedicated to anyone curious enough to learn. Jason is the author of Curious About Cannabis, a 550-page cannabis science textbook in use at several colleges across North America. He is also the producer and host of two podcasts, Curious About Cannabis and Isn’t Life Curious?
In this chat with Jason, we talk about the unsung compounds in cannabis, essential oils and inhalation, testing lab culture, and the trickle-down effect for consumers. We also discuss THC and THC-light alternatives (aka synthetic cannabinoids), legalization, and patient empowerment.
Learning the science of cannabis can be fun; odds are, it will improve all aspects of your life. So smoke ‘em if you got ‘em and settle in. It’s time to get casually baked.
