Karma Koala Podcast 151: Lex Pelger author, cannabinoid scientist & educator. We talk all things cannabis and cannabinoid with special reference to Melville’s opus, “Moby Dick” and how that great 19th century masterpiece can help educate us on cannabis

 

In this episode in conversation with Lex Pelger we search for the white whale and in attempting to find the unobtainable take in a wide range of subjects including the human endocannabinoid system,  predatory capitalism and the cannabis world, pets and CBD, Aldous Huxley, why the French use more cannabis than anybody else in Europe, home grow,  human culture and cannabis and much more.

All this  in only half an hour of conversation!!

This wide ranging chat with Lex was a lot of fun and illustrates the richness of cannabis that we all sometimes forget when wrapped up in the specifics of working in this burgeoning sector.
