This weeks episode is all about our newly launched Cannabis research nonprofit called the Network of Applied Pharmacognosy (NAP). Miyabe and I co-founded this non-profit to expand the community&#39;s voice in scientific research surrounding cannabis and other natural medicines. We currently have 2 studies underway and we just published our first paper on CBG use for anxiety. 
 
TODAY we released what we hope to be the largest and more depth cannabis survey that will help guide us towards future studies needed in our community.
