The Potential Therapeutic Uses of Cannabinoids With Professor Roger Pertwee

Much of what we know about the cannabis plant and its effects on the human body has only been formally discovered in the past 60 years, and a good deal of these pioneering investigations have involved Roger Pertwee, an emeritus professor at the University of Aberdeen.

In his inaugural presentation in Technology Networks' ongoing Teach Me in 10 series, Professor Pertwee discusses how cannabis chemicals interact with the body’s own cannabinoid receptors, why such natural and synthetic cannabinoids show potential therapeutic benefits, and how they might be stabilized for future clinical trials.
