Description:

After half a century of research restrictions, we are seeing a cannabis scientific renaissance around the world. Dr. Jeff Chen MD/MBA, Director of the UCLA Cannabinoid Affinity Group, will take us on a journey through the 10,000+ year history of human cannabis use. He will then show us the intriguing inter-workings of the human endocannabinoid system, our body's system of natural "cannabis-like" molecules. He will fascinate us with the latest research and science on the health effects of this unique plant. And he will end with a vision for how cannabis users can help accelerate cannabis research by becoming citizen scientists and donating their data to researchers.
