S2 E21: The TRPV1 Receptor - Testing THC at the Capsaicin Receptor w/Rich Steve (Cannabis vs Carolina Reaper)

The Cannabis Professor has Crossed 50 Episodes, and we are on the road to 100!In celebration of this milestone - we are going to perform a human experiment with Cannabis.  Cannabis Professional and Amateur wrestler Rich Steve joins us to take on the hottest chip in the world - the famous ONE CHIP CHALLENGE - a Carolina Reaper coated tortilla chip that will make you feel the burn.You see, there is a receptor in the human body called the Capsaicin Receptor (TRPV1) and this receptor is what makes you feel the pain of hot foods.  Well, it looks like THC and other cannabis molecules can change that response - time for an experiment!We eat the chip and see if any medical marijuana products can fight the reaction.  Tune in if you want to find out if the hypothesis works! (P.S. the results are amazing!)@thecannabis.professor Did you enjoy today’s episode? If so, then head over to iTunes or Spotify or wherever you listen to it and leave a review!
