The following homework sample from the Higher Learning LV course Understanding Flavonoids . It provides students with a brief overview of the peer-reviewed scientific research studies that have revealed the beneficial medicinal properties of this flavonoid that is produced by cannabis/hemp/marijuana.

The following homework assignment teaches students about the topic of the aromatic flavor* molecules produces by cannabis/hemp/marijuana called terpenes. *Flavonoids, despite their name, deliver only pigment to the plants that produce them, not flavor.

Scientists are beginning to gain insight into the complex mechanisms involved in the operation of the endocannabinoid system, or ECS. Recent research studies have indicated that cellular and neurotransmitter signaling in the human body may be significantly modified via the interaction with phytocannabinoids (including CBC , CBD , CBG , and their molecular analogs).

Terpenes are one of the three major families of wellness molecules produced by cannabis/hemp/marijuana, which also includes cannabinoids and flavonoids. As one of the most abundant types of chemical in nature, more than 40,000 varieties of terpenes exist, with the most common in cannabis being myrcene .

All Higher Learning LV seminars and courses are based entirely on the results of peer-reviewed research studies . As such, we drop plenty of study citations in our classes and no-cost learning options.

The following Higher Learning LV homework sample gives students a basic overview of the minor cannabinoid cannabichromevarin.

The following Higher Learning LV homework excerpt provides students with a basic understanding of the major cannabinoid cannabichromene.

Two types of cannabinoids exist on Planet Earth: Endocannabinoids that are manufactured by the human body (and a slew of vertebrates, including most mammals) and phytocannabinoids that are produced by the cannabis/hemp/marijuana plant species.

Cannabigerolic acid, or CBGA, is the acidic precursor to cannabigerol ( CBG ). In plain English, this means that CBGA produces, or morphs into, CBG under the right environmental and chemical conditions. It was discovered in 1964 and Israeli researcher Raphael Mechoulam and his colleagues (the same scientist who famously first synthesized THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) during the same time period).

The terpene menthol, also called peppermint camphor, was first isolated in 1771 by German physician and chemist Hieronymus David Gaubius....

Rather than a single terpene, limonene encompasses two molecular isomers, d-limonene (a major terpene in the cannabis genome and the second most common in nature) and l-limonene (a minor terpene). This Higher Learning LV homework sample considers d-limonene .

Myrcene, sometimes denoted as β-myrcene, is the most dominant terpene in hemp and sometimes constitutes more than 50 percent of the terpene weight by volume of a particular sample of the herb.

Cannabidiol (CBD) extracts—such as those derived from hemp or cannabis—are available to consumers in a variety of form factors for different consumption avenues. One of the most popular is the tincture, a liquid preparation based in alcohol or oil that is applied sublingually (under the tongue). Because a tincture is absorbed sublingually, the onset of efficacy of cannabinoid- and terpene-based medicines delivered via this route is considerably faster than eating the same mol

The following Higher Learning LV homework sample teaches students about the basic types of microscopic cellular receptors that perform the heavy lifting of binding with phytocannabinoids, including CBC, CBD, CBG, CBN, and THC.

Cannabis is a complex medicine that contains hundreds of types of molecules that, collectively, deliver medicinal relief for literally dozens of diseases and conditions. This unique herb possess such a wide array of medical applications primarily because it is an effective pain reliever (analgesic), a powerful anti-inflammatory, and a noted anticancer agent.

Welcome to the homework assignment for Cannabis Foundation : Module 6—Endocannabinoid System, Lesson 4—Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome. Here, the controversial topic of Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) is explored. A range of research—from 2004 in Australia to the most recent 2021 study in the U.S.—has demonstrated that the controversial condition Cannabinoid Hyperemesis Syndrome (CHS) is more than imagined by its sufferers. Although only a few hundred cases of CHS are

The flavonoid kaempferol , one of more than 20 such molecules produced by cannabis/hemp/marijuana and 6,000 in all of nature, has been shown to deliver anticancer efficacy and to be of potential benefit to those suffering osteoporosis, including a potential role in the maintenance of overall bone health (especially following injury).

Few cannabis consumers are familiar with the small collection of major terpenes produced by cannabis/hemp/marijuana, let alone the minor examples. Sabinene is a great example of a minor cannabis terpene, delivering wellness benefits via multiple biochemical mechanisms.

Among the 20 flavonoids produced by cannabis (and many other plant species) is a small subset that is found exclusively in hemp called cannflavins . Of these, cannflavin A (sometimes denoted as cannflavin-a or cannflavin-A), cannflavin B, and cannflavin C are the most studied and understood.

Cannabigerol (CBG), a cannabinoid produced by cannabis/hemp/marijuana, plays a special role within the pharmacopeia of wellness and lifestyle benefits offered by the plant species that produces it. In fact, the molecular source of cannabigerol, cannabigerolic acid (CBGA), is the "mother of all cannabinoids" and the biochemical precursor to market-dominating phytocannabinoids cannabidiol (CBD) and tetrahydrocannabniol (THC).
