  • Cannalingo Part II: Connecting Molecular Conversations of CB2R with the Cannabis Experience

    Cannabis Science and Technology

    Part II of a guided tour through the protein structure and function influence of cannabinoid receptor 2 (CB2R) on cannabinoid signaling.

  • Cannalingo: Connecting Molecular Conversations with the Cannabis Experience.

    Cannabis Science and Technology

    Here we take an in-depth exploration of the structure, function, and variation of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R).

    Have you ever wondered why some people are more sensitive to the effects of cannabinoids than others? Factors such as dosing, metabolic rates, and weight influence these differences. But there is a more complex bustling of tiny, molecular processes that specifically dictate these differences in predictable ways. To gain an understanding of the busy, massive, yet focused…

    Have you ever wondered why some people are more sensitive to the effects of cannabinoids than others? Factors such as dosing, metabolic rates, and weight influence these differences. But there is a more complex bustling of tiny, molecular processes that specifically dictate these differences in predictable ways. To gain an understanding of the busy, massive, yet focused interactions that dictate this process, one must wade into the sea of organic molecules that constantly feel and touch one another to distribute, accept, and receive messages to influence cellular communication within the body. I hope to begin this journey with you, and together we can gain an appreciation for which proteins decide our response to cannabinoids, and investigate how variants in our population may influence reactions to the cannabis experience. We begin with an in-depth exploration of the structure, function, and variation of cannabinoid receptor 1 (CB1R).
