Commercializing 21st Century Weed
Commercializing 21st Century Weed
Featured expert: Ben Cort
TUESDAY, APRIL 20, 2021 – ANTI-420 DAY CONFERENCE
Handouts available at https://johnnysambassadors.org/ja210420cort/
Description
The publicized and politically charged world of drug policy has undergone immense changes over the past several years and those changes manifest not just in policy but also in the physical makeup of the cannabis plant and products derived from components of the plant. Not only has the perception of the plant changed, but the actual plant itself has also undergone dramatic changes as it has been industrialized and brought into a commercial market. As public opinion has softened towards cannabis the effects of consuming today’s marijuana remain poorly understood.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this 45-minute webinar, participants will learn how to:
• Understand the difference between today’s corporately produced marijuana and what grows naturally and has been consumed in the past
• Identify current forms of THC consumption including edibles, vaporizers, and concentrates
• Discuss the science of today’s marijuana and the harms associated with it
