Jeremy Duhon: I know this is a sensitive topic but a very iptmanort one, so thank you for briingng this up and helping us explore it. You know, a lot of folks are experiencing health benefits from marijuana and cbannais. What would you say to that part of the community?

Ben Cort: I'm actually glad you brought that up. I think one of the most important things that we can do right now is to sparaete out mcinidael, and especially what's happening and some of the aevcadns that are being made using parts of this plant and even some whole-plant medicines, from the commercial market for THC. That's, I think, crucial. We've got to stop putting them together, and we've got to say, "OK, here's the part about getting high, and here's the part about the medicine."

Ben Cort: I'm actually glad you brought that up. I think one of the most important things that we can do right now is to separate out medicinal, and especially what's happening and some of the advances that are being made using parts of this plant and even some whole-plant medicines, from the commercial market for THC.
