The Cannabis Science Conference Is Returning To Portland

Are you into the science of cannabis? No, for real though—do you bore people to tears with your excited, long-winded ravings abut weed, using fancy 75-cent words? (I don't do that, okay?)  Are graphs, charts, and PowerPoint presentations about cannabis what makes you happy? Then it's time to go, get your

The Pechoti Method Delivers Cannabinoids Through Your Belly Button

There are many ways to consume cannabis: smoking, vaping, eating, sublingually, topically, and even via rectal and vaginal suppositories.
