Day 1 – Learning About CBD

For the first week of the work experience program, Hern and I are working at the Integrated Pain, Lab, and Hemp Solutions center in Sanford. After receiving a brief tour of the facilities, we conducted some independent research on cannabidiol (CBD) based on a set of guidelines provided by an employee. CBD, a cannabis compound derived from hemp or marijuana plants, relieves pain, inflammation, and other ailments, and is used in conjunction with surgical procedures and movement therapy at Integrated Pain Solutions. We learned about its effects, mechanisms, and legality, along with exploring liquid and gas chromatography and mass spectroscopy. In the afternoon, we had the opportunity to see the process behind distributing the hemp oil; we helped dispense, bottle, and package a mixture of CBD oil diluted with grapefruit oil.
