I mean, cannabis is a plant that has been around for some time. It's kind of got like a very rich history of use around the world for different cultures, for both kind of medicinal and spiritual and recreational purposes over several centuries. The plant has kind of become, I mean, in the West, it really wasn't a thing mainstream wise until about the 60s.

And then it became kind of introduced as like a drug of choice that a lot of people started using during the rise of the hippie era. And I think that was a lot of the time that cannabis got popularized. And then I'd say more recently, cannabis has into the 90s and on has become kind of a very heavily used drug by a large swath of people ranging from teenagers on up.

In terms of what it is inside it, I mean, it's a plant with a lot of very complex chemistry and biology behind it. So there's a lot of molecules that it carries in it. We call these cannabinoids. And they come in a lot of different flavors. But the main one that's

the most important one when we talk about cannabis and what drives the kind of intoxicating and what I would refer to as psychoactive effects of cannabis is a Delta nine tetrahydrocannabinol or what we call THC. Um, and that really is what dictates, you know, the psychoactive and intoxicating properties of the plant.

And so the amount of THC that is within the cannabis plant will influence the, you know, how high a person's going to get when they consume it. There are probably 70 to 100 and some odd other cannabinoids that are within cannabis. Most of them are pretty trace levels, like, and they vary from different types to cannabis from one another.

But the other one that's had a lot of attention is cannabidiol or what we call CBD. CBD is structurally looks pretty similar to THC, but doesn't behave anything like THC. It's not intoxicating at all. I'm not sure. I would probably say it's not psychoactive in the sense that people can't tell if they're on it or not.
