As cannabis is legalized, sometimes scientific matters can get lost amid all the talk about social issues. Early next year, the University of California Botanical Garden at Berkeley will host a series of five lectures by national experts to address such topics for non-specialist audiences. The topics are:
Feb. 1: Dr. Amanda Reiman, "The environmental aspect of large-scale cannabis cultivation." How can the current environmental impact be addressed as production scales up?
Feb. 8: Dr. Mowgli Holmes, The genetics of cannabis breeds." How do the current informal names of strains relate to genetics and to chemical properties?
Feb. 15: Dr. David Presti, "The neuroscience of cannabis." How does it affect our brain, mind and behavior?
Feb. 22: Dr. Thomas J. Carlson, "The ethnobotany of cannabis." How might past uses of the cannabis plant be explored in future research?
March 1: Dr. Donald I. Abrams, "Cannabis as medicine." How might research and clinical practice best address potential medical benefits of cannabis?
The lectures will be held 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursdays. Each will cost $40; $35 for garden members. For more information and to register, go to Seasonal Programs & Workshops - UC Botanical Garden. You can also call the program director at (510) 664-9841.
