At CannMed 24, Tim will present “Characterization of Less Studied Cannabis Phytochemicals” which investigates the pharmacological, physicochemical, and basic toxicological characteristics of cannabis phytochemicals. During our conversation, we discuss:

• 
  
• How Tim and his team choose which phytochemicals to study
  
• What makes the varin cannabinoids particularly interesting
  
• The difference between chemically derived compounds vs plant-derived compounds
  
• Which phytochemicals show the most promise
  
• Modifying phytochemicals to improve their effectiveness
