Episode 12: How (scientifically) dope is medical marijuana?

Although recreational marijuana is illegal in Australia, medical marijuana has been legalised here since 2016. But what’s the difference? And why can’t you just go ask your doctor for a script right now? Join us as we puff on about the science behind medical marijuana and the ground-breaking research on it happening right here in Tassie! This week we hear from Dr Sandra Garland, an agricultural researcher working on growing Tasmanian medical marijuana, and Luke Ney, a medical research PhD student working on the natural cannabinoids in the human body.
