On Thursday, March 31, 2022, at 7pm Dr. Donald F. Slish delivered the fourth in the Cannabis ~ Changing A Weed to A Resource lecture series. He explained a very complex subject in ways that were understandable to the general public.

imageHis talk, The Pharmacology of Medicinal and Recreational Cannabis,included slides on the science of and an historical overview of the botanical species of cannabis. Slish  examined the pharmacokinetics of use, that is the products and routes of administration. Additionally, he analyzed pharmacodynamics -the effect and breakdown of cannabis drugs within the body and CB1 receptor mechanism. From the neurobiology focus on cannabis, he  described its effects on pathways and recreational doses of THC, or tetrahydrocannabinol, the chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological effects.
