In honor of Danksgiving finally becoming a real thing (did you see the NYT article?) we're revisiting our interview with cannabis journalist Jackie Bryant to discuss the science of edibles, which she wrote about for Different Leaf magazine in the fall of 2021.

Host Brit Smith talks to Jackie about the chemical process behind how digested cannabis works in humans, giving us a more physical high than inhaling weed. They discuss why edibles impact people in different ways, whether strains make a difference, how microdosing works, the science of fast-acting edibles, the ups and downs of public cannabis drink consumption, and what the future of edibles could be.
