On our 25th episode we discuss the chemical aspects of cannabis with scientist Chris Emerson. Chris co-founded Level, a company that prides itself on understanding the molecular levels of cannabis for all ages of users. Chris talks of all non-smokable forms of ingestion, including vapes and sublingual sprays. We discuss dosing specifics and the notion of isolating certain terrines, or more simply put: generically aiming for individual ailments. Chris sees well beyond THC and CBD, as far as what the plant actually offers. We speak with Ruby LaGrandeur about her cannabis beverage, LaGrandeur, a cranberry flavored non-alcoholic “champagne” that allows non-smokers to get in on the benefits of cannabis. Measurements of ingestion with a beverage makes people wary of how much to drink. Ruby says it’s light and allows non-drinker/nonsmokers to join the party.
