The word is cannabidiol . You might recognize it as CBD. The second most "prevalent" chemical in the cannabis sativa plant. You go to the head of the science class is you know what this is "C21 H30 O2"? (hint: the answer is above!)
You are probably more familiar with the intoxicating chemical, THC. That chemical, Tetrahydrocannabinol, is the most dominant in the cannabis sativa plant. However these days, scientists, botanists, home growers can actually dictate the percentage of the presence of these chemicals in cannabis plants.
Either way, the discovery of the interaction between these two chemicals and its relationship to the endocannabinoid system that is in all mammals is the key behind the science and research that is driving the education in this industry.
Two guys who do know this, and could teach that science of cannabis class, are Scott Churchill and Dan Hughes from MCR Labs. They are part of the MCR lab that is the first certified testing lab in the state of Massachusetts. Both are guests on In The Weeds with Jimmy Young 6-29-20 edition.

I guess June 4th, 2015 was the day when I almost drove off the highway when the Bertrand and Zolak show first played an audio clip from the old Kid Company SportsWorld show on NECN from 1996. Marc Bertrand was 10 years old (I was 39!) when he called in the nation's only live TV Sports Talk Show for Kids. That program included the "best of" of our show including a one on one interview with Michael Jordan by Jake Andersen. Also on that set for the show was Rachel Nance, the daughter of the late great Jim Nance. This program won me and co-producer Jody Snider, an Emmy Award from NATAS NE. They must be so desperate with no sports on 98-5 The Sports Hub, that they brought up my name and allowed me to plug what we are building at Pro Cannabis Media. Thank you Marc, Scott Zolak, and yes ...even Hardy!

It's not the weed version of the missing link, but Canadian Researcher Dr. Igor Kovalchuk has released a scientific study on the interaction of the cannabis sativa plant and Covid-19.

It's called the Plan for Black America and it is part of Joe Bidens political platform now.

Kobie Evans and his partner Kevin Hart waited over 2 years to get their commence operations license for the city of Boston’s first
