THC. CBD. CBN. CBG. CBDA. THCV. Your patients are using it all, and probably lying to you about it. What if you understood the alphabet soup, knew the likely effects of these components of the cannabis plant on human physiology, felt confident about how this plant might interact with your patient’s other medications, and could use this information to help your patients navigate supporting their endocannabinoid systems intelligently and intentionally?
