Liner notes

We take a deep dive into the science of Delta-8 THC with Josh and Rob from Snapdragon Hemp and the brilliant Dr. Mark Scialdone. We discuss the "isomerization" process, the thermodynamic stability of molecules, and why Delta-8 has become a massive trend in states without legal Delta-9 markets. Plus, we explore nanotechnology in cannabis, the reality of "water-soluble" cannabinoids, and give an update on the legendary "Area 420" in Moffat, Colorado.
