What this episode covers

But there's still a lot we don't know about the plant, despite its long history of human use, says Eric Siegel, the director of the UC Botanical Garden. So the garden is hosting a lecture series called the "Science of Cannabis," where experts will discuss everything from the environmental impacts of large-scale cannabis cultivation to the neurological effect of cannabis in our brains.Read more about the lecture series on UC Berkeley News: http://news.berkeley.edu/2018/01/16/podcast-science-of-cannabis-lecture-series-uc-botanical-garden/ Hosted on Acast.
