Use This As You See Fit: The Diary of Mari, Episode 7

Mari appreciates a presenter who appeared on the “TEDS.” Well, a TEDx Talk, actually.On this episode, Angela and Brandon take a break from the more distant past and opt to explore a recent diary entry dated April 27, 2019. Mari described attending the University of Oregon Tedx Talk featuring Dr. Rachel Knox, an Endocannabinologist and Cannabinoid Medicine Specialist. Mari was obviously impressed by all of the valuable information that Dr. Knox shared about the endocannabinoid system (ECS) and the basics about how it works. Mari knew quite a few people at the event, but focused on Dr. Knox and her truth-telling. Brandon and Angela were able to learn about how the ECS functions, how it interacts with the other systems, and why there’s such little talk about it in everyday life. They also acknowledged a tremendous loss that recently occurred in the world of cannabis studies, the passing of Dr. Raphael Mechoulam. An Israeli chemist and professor, he has often been referred to as the father of cannabis research and study. Before wrapping up, Brandon challenged Angela to find something elucidatory information about the origin of the "420" term. She accepted even before he was able to finish his sentence. If you’re hoping to learn more about why 420 represents cannabis or just wanting to hear some interesting discussion about Mari’s experiences, subscribe to “Use This As You See Fit: The Diary of Mari," the best cannabis storytelling podcast out there.
