Cannabis, the Endocannabinoid System & Terpenes with Dr. Ethan Russo

Our guest today is Dr. Ethan Russo. Neurologist, psychopharmacology researcher and author. Dr. Russo is a true pioneer in the world of cannabinoid science, and remains one of the best resources for endocannabinoid and cannabinoid education on the planet. We covered some serious ground in this episode, including: - Dr. Russo's journey into Peru and the ancient Peruvian plant medicine he researched there. - The endocannabinoid system - Treatment resistant conditions and their relationship with clinical endocannabinoid deficiencies - What terpenes are, and the integral role they play in plant medicine   Dr. Russo has an incredible mind and his passion for education rivals that of his passion for plant medicines. It was an absolute pleasure and honour to speak with him and I'm sure you'll gain as much from this episode as I did!
