“Working on the current research, which is funded by the Institute for Cannabis Research, is allowing me to develop the abilities required to become a competent and advanced synthetic cannabis chemist. This is expanding my present understanding and expertise of physiologically relevant heterocyclic (-N, -O) compounds and their separation. The project is assisting and supporting me, in the acquisition of competence, in addition to novel late-stage functionalization techniques and operative abilities in analytical instrumentation. Furthermore, this opens additional avenues for new funding opportunities besides the currently available cannabis opportunities. The supervision has provided the instruction required to develop proficiency in comprehending the variables that affect synthetic cannabis chemistry.”
