Cannabis and CBDA!

Today we have an old-fashion Cannabis Connoisseur science episode, and we’re excited to share this newly discovered and natural cannabinoid!

How science is viewing it…
-scientists are viewing this cannabinoid as a new, more powerful form of CBD.

Super-CBD is what we can call this cannabinoid…because that’s what it is!

Why is this topic important?
-for starters, I learned about CBDa during the pandemic.

-there was a study first published I believe in Canada, that showed the efficacy of this cannabinoid at possibly being effective at preventing COVID-19…surprise, surprise!

-Since then, I’ve always been intrigued by this cannabinoid and how it can support your immunity and overall, so I think it’s time to put some light on it!
