  • Oh hey.

  • It's the lady at the diner weeping into her hash browns, Sally Ward.

  • Pack in as much info right now and let 's spark some discussion about weed, the psychology, the botany, the chemistry,

  • the neurology, the legality, and the methodology, i.e. Do you hold it in your lungs until you choke?

  • Why do edibles sometimes feel like you will be high until you become dead?

  • And are any of those tinctures at crystal shops worth it?

  • I tracked down one of the world's best researchers on this.

  • Ugh.

  • So excited.

  • Studied biopsychology and anthropology.

  • Got a PhD in psychology.

  • Went on to do a postdoc in human behavioral pharmacology at Columbia.

  • They 're now a professor and the vice chair for research in the Department of Psychiatry

  • and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA.

  • They're the director of the UCLA Center for Cannabis and Cannabinoids.

  • I was so committed to interviewing this particular person that I waited three years.

  • Until the scheduling worked out.

  • Every week in our Ology staff meeting, I would ask, have we heard back?

  • When will my dreams come true?

  • Finally, they did.
