Cannabis Science and Michigan Culture Writer

I'm interested in the gap between what a cannabis label actually tells you and what people assume it tells you.

A terpene percentage is data. A THC number is data. Neither automatically predicts exactly how a person will feel.

The interesting work begins when we separate chemistry, experience, marketing, and evidence.
