Cannabis genetics have truly gone wild with new strains emerging every day. On  this episode of Smoke N' Science we break down Cannabis genetics with  expert Dr. Anna Schwabe, PhD., also known as "Dr. Annabis". Anna is a  passionate researcher, educator, and cannabis enthusiast. You may have  heard of "pheno-hunting," but what is a phenotype? And what changes in  the plant's genetics lead to different effects and varieties of the  plant? Answers to this and more on this episode!

On this episode of Smoke N' Science the Smokenol™ team dives into practical application of CBD. What types of CBD products exist, what dose are people typically taking, and why are so many people finding benefits from taking CBD products. We have found many benefits of taking CBD daily but finding the optimal dose and products can be difficult. Our team will share what has worked best for us and answer some common questions regarding CBD.  If you're looking to try a new CBD product, we produce unique CBD topicals and a tincture that our customers say is more effective than other CBD products, check them out at ProfoundNaturals.com.

On this episode of Smoke N' Science, Riley and Miyabe talk with Dr. Jahan Marcu, PhD an expert in the endocannabinoid system and Cannabis policy. The three dive into a variety of subjects including the many uses of CBD, synthetic THC isomers (D8-THC, D10-THC, HHC, etc.), and cannabis research and education. Regulation is a challenge for the cannabis industry, especially with the legal landscape differing with each state. Join us as we discuss the many unknowns, both positive and negative, of the every-changing industry.

This extra credit episode dives deeper into the science of smoke. We discuss some chemical changes that occur during the smoking process as well as discuss the major differences between smoking, dry herb vaping, and concentrate vaping. All of these cannabis consumption methods have one thing in common and that is heat. Different levels of heat introduced to the products will result in changes to the chemistry that is entering your body! Not everyone prefers the feeling of smoking, and we encourage all users to explore different consumption methods to see what works best for you. As always, thanks for listening! If you want to try our hemp smoke extract products, which have this changed chemistry, find them at ProfoundNaturals.com.

New episode on our favorite topic! Part of breaking the stigma of cannabis requires breaking the stigma of smoking. While we do not deny the negative side effects linked to smoking, we also believe there are unexplored advantages, specifically for cannabis. Some of us prefer the effects of smoked cannabis which actually makes smoking a more therapeutic option for a specific population. Heat transformation is significant and a major part of the science behind the unique effects of smoking. This changes the overall experience of cannabis in a way that we can't yet fully explain, but in this episode we take a shot at it!

A bit more about our main takeaways from our chat with Dr. Callie Seaman on cannabis and epilepsy. We take a deeper look into Epidiolex, the CBD pharmaceutical that is prescribed for epilepsy and the possible molecular mechanisms that underlie the effects. We also talk about chemodiversity which is our favorite part of the what the cannabis plant has to offer therapeutically. Next week we're covering our favorite topic: the science o' smoke!

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes recurrent, unprovoked seizures. While there are pharmaceutical medications that treat epilepsy, not everyone responds well to them, and cannabis has been shown to have huge therapeutic potential in reducing or completely stopping seizures. We are thrilled to be joined in this episode by Dr. Callie Seaman, PhD a cannabis scientist with epilepsy who shares our love for this amazing plant and our outlook on the incredible potential of the unknown in the universe!

Our "extra credit" episodes will always be between full-length episodes and aim to further solidify the main takeaways from the previous episode by providing detailed information on the topic. It's always helpful to hear something described more than once, and that's certainly the case when it comes to complex topics like receptors. This episode is a deep dive into receptors and so if you're having trouble with, it may be helpful to re-listen to the previous episode. As usual, please send us any questions!

Receptors are how your body talks to itself and to the rest of the world. We could not function without receptors and this episode focuses on the CB1 and CB2 receptors, which are the main receptors in the endocannabinoid system that interact with the active molecules in cannabis. This episode will have you thinking about your CB1 receptors in a new light that just might change the way you enjoy your cannabis! We'll also go into other substances and how Cannabis use can be a strategy for harm reduction (begins at the 51min marker).
