Today we share with you, our beautiful listener, a high level breakdown of… the Entourage Effect. Now it’s often talked about in the industry and debated heavily amongst scientists, researchers and patients, so let’s talk about where we’re currently at. We explore its basic functionality, how the combined action of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids produces a more significant effect than their isolated actions. We discuss the history of the Entourage Effect, its implications for patient experiences, the role of extraction methods in preserving it, and the unexplored interactions between the vast array of cannabinoids, terpenes, and flavonoids found in cannabis. Enjoy the debate, you may even hear some heat from our favourite cannabis scientist this ep.
P.S. I did some digging... apparently Aristotle is the one who said "the whole is far greater then the sum of its parts." But who really knows hey?
In this episode, we welcome back our resident expert guest, plant enthusiast, final year Ph.D. candidate in the genetics of medicinal cannabis at La Trobe University, friend and favourite cannabis scientist, Gianni Del Rosario-Makridis. Gianni's work is dedicated to discovering new and exciting therapies for treatments by unlocking the therapeutic benefits of plants. He graduated with first class honours in botany in 2017 and has been researching cannabis trichome genetics full-time as a Ph.D. candidate since then. In addition to being an academic teaching plant-based molecular biology to undergraduates, Gianni is also a scientific consultant in the cannabis industry with experience as a cultivator for one of Australia's largest cannabis companies. He brings a wealth of expertise in both the science and commercial sides of medical cannabis to our show.
