Work in Progress
This section will offer:
+ Updates on cannabis science (expanding with legalization)
+ Science-backed cannabis recommendations, especially those for women (differences in dosing, effects, etc.)
+ Suggestions for considering harm reduction principles (which are not always obvious in the scientific papers)
