Keynote Presentation: Current Trends in Cannabis Science Research with Live Q&A

This presentation explores emerging trends in cannabis science, highlighting key areas of growth and evolving research priorities. Attendees will gain an overview of the current scientific landscape, including the increasing focus on minor cannabinoids—once considered secondary components, now recognized for their potential therapeutic applications. The discussion will address recent findings that explain why these compounds are receiving heightened attention across both clinical and consumer-focused studies.

In addition, the presentation examines the growing interest in "herbal blends," which incorporate cannabis alongside other botanicals. The popularity of these formulations is on the rise, prompting new research into their combined effects, safety, and efficacy. This trend reflects a broader movement toward integrative and plant-based wellness strategies. The session concludes with forward-looking insights, drawing on recent data to propose potential directions for future research and development in the cannabis space. Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how scientific inquiry is shaping the future of cannabis products and informing both regulatory and industry perspectives.

Learning Objectives: 

1. Explain why minor cannabinoids are not so minor anymore and what the research says and why the attention.

2. Summarize the research on "herbal blends" and why it is so popular.

3. Discuss where  we go from here and provide suggestions from the research.
