Part 2: Cannabis Phytochemistry and Pharmacognosy
Jan 20, 2016
Episode description
Today we're joined once again by the very knowledgeable Justin Sinclair for Part 2 in our series on the responsible clinical use of cannabis.
Justin takes us on a journey through the complex phytochemistry and pharmacognosy of the various medicinal cannabis species. He talks about the merits and flaws in using isolated plant extracts with single active constituents versus using full, whole-herb extracts for their herbal synergy - or "The Entourage Effect". His knowledge of both the phytochemical aspects and the regulatory hurdles facing the medicinal cannabis industry is without equal.
