Hi Reddit!

We are CANN, a subdivision of the ACS Division of Chemical Health and Safety. Within the last year we have petitioned from initial formation, to committee, to our current subdivision status. We believe that with the exponential growth of the legal cannabis industry, offering a scientific community of professionals, researchers, and academics will improve safety standards and industry practices.

A part of the American Chemical Society, we at CANN use our resources to develop workshops, training sessions, symposium and general sessions on cannabis health and safety-related topics at national, regional and other meetings of the American Chemical Society. We aim to support future chemists with training, mentoring programs, research opportunities, and other resources. Today our group is open for discussion to help educate a broader audience.

Ezra Pryor :

I am Ezra Pryor, Chair of the nascent Cannabis Chemistry Subdivision (CANN) at the ACS. I am also the president of EZ Chem Consultancy Inc. a company which services the cannabis extraction market. I am happy to answer questions about cannabis and the new branch of the American Chemical Society.

One of the goals of CANN is to address the common knowledge with regard to cannabis and what better way to get the ball rolling than an AMA. Please feel free to ask about the science of the plant, analysis, purification, formulation, legal status, regulatory oversight programs, the endocannabinoid system, synthetic cannabinoids, or anything else regarding the plant or our work.

We will be back at 1 pm EST (10 am PST, 6 pm UTC) to answer your questions, Ask us anything!
