Smoke N' Science

In this episode of SmokeN’Science we dive into some specific examples of chronic pain including migraines, fibromyalgia, GI issues, and endometriosis. We then discuss some ways that would be most effective for taking Cannabis as medicine depending on how quickly you want to feel the effects and where pain is located in your body! We also have a special interview with a Cannabis grower and patient, Connor V. with Frankenstein Genetics, who will discuss how Cannabis changed the trajectory of his life with smokenol inventor Andy Westerkamp.

On  episode 2 of Smoke N' Science we talk about pain. Pain is the number one  use for medicinal Cannabis in the United States, and this is no  accident. Cannabis can change the way pain signals are sent in our  brains and provide some much-needed relief, especially for chronic pain  sufferers! In today's episode we begin to talk about pain, what it is,  the different kinds of pain, and what's happening in our brain when we  experience pain. Join us on this journey into our endocannabinoid system  to learn more- we promise it won't be painful to listen to!

Up next: in part 2 we'll dive into individual disorders where pain plays a crucial role and the different methods of administration that can be helpful for pain!

Riley and Miyabe peek under the covers of cannabis research and discuss some of the barriers to science that have contributed to the stigma. Miyabe summarizes the system in our bodies that is responsible for the effects and the medicinal benefits of Cannabis, and Riley explains why natural products that contain complex formulations have unique benefits in comparison to the traditional pharmaceutical route of a single isolated molecule. Take an inside view of Riley and Miyabe’s team chemistry and how they hope to change the status quo! Up next: the science behind cannabis and all types of pain, and how the endocannabinoid system is a key regulator by multiple mechanisms.
