Forest For the Trees

Dr. Russo is a true lighthouse in the dark seas of the cannabis industry. Much of Dr. Russo's work has served as the scientific foundation for the work we do at True Terpenes and when David Heldreth and Ross Hunsinger had the chance to talk to Dr. Russo, our co-founder Ben Cassiday jumped at the opportunity to join us. We talk terpenes, brain chemistry and how we're still studying the way they interact.
