The Entourage Effect aka Cannabis Synergism

Monday, December 30, 2019 • Duration 32:32

I’m sure many people have heard about the “Entourage Effect”, also known as synergism between cannabinoids and other compound in cannabis. But is that actually true?

Each one having a specific beneficial effect that is simply present or not depending whether you have the compounds there or not. In essence, is the saying “the whole is greater than the sum of its parts” an old stoner folktale or scientific fact? In this listener requested episode we’ve decided to bring in to the studio Dr. Cris Alves to help us properly answer this fascinating question.
