Stoned Science: Interactions Between THC and CBD

July 24, 2017 No Comments

Often when people smoke marijuana, all of the credit for the high is given to Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), but this isn’t the whole story. Through previous discussions you might recall that cannabidiol (CBD), alone, does not get you high. While this is true, there are some important interactions to consider. Does CBD affect the high that THC provides and how does

Previously in “The Chemistry of CBD,” we looked at the subtle changes in the structure of CBD versus that of THC and the potential differences in the resulting conformation of cannabinoid receptor-1 (CB1). We discussed how minuscule changes can have large multiplicative effects down the biological stream. As with all things in this world, structure determines function. The structure of

The Chemistry of CBD

Previously in Puff Puff Pass: The Tale of THC, we discussed the journey that d9-Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) takes as it traverses our bodies, and into our brains. We learned that the chemical mechanism that gives us our “high” is produced as a result of THC binding to Cannabinoid Receptor-1 (CB-1). Many wonder if the second most recognizable cannabinoid, cannabidiol (CBD) will also

Can Cannabis Inhibit Cervical Cancer?

July 13, 2017 No Comments

The disease that persistently plagues us today is cancer. Cancer is an umbrella term that essentially results in gross proliferation of certain cell types throughout the body and can form (metastasize) in many different ways. The result is always the same, hyper-growth of a certain group of cells, depriving our bodies’ natural cells from properly functioning and surviving. One particular

Stoned Science: Cannabinoid Receptor-1

April 11, 2017 No Comments

A picture is worth a thousand words. This is a commonly used phrase to illustrate the depth of information and meaning a single picture can convey. The same principal applies to areas of biochemistry called “structural biology.” Proteins are giant molecules (chemicals) that exist within our body. They often perform mechanical functions, like machines, in addition to chemistry. While there

Stoned Science: The Most Effective Way to Clear a Bowl

April 4, 2017 No Comments

Previously, we have looked at the property of heat-transfer in terms of smoking paraphernalia design.  It is important to remember, while smoking, that the laws of physics are at work! Here, we are going to discuss another quintessential property of physics—pressure. Now everybody knows what pressure is, we can feel it. It is in our nose when we have a
