Previous Episode: Ep. 13 Practicing Gratitude

What do you know about hemp and cannabis? Join Ty Greenough (Graduate Assistant for Substance Misuse) as he talks with two JMU professors, Dr. Daniel Downey, Professor of Environmental, Nuclear, & Analytical Chemistry, and Dr. Samuel Morton, Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, about the nuances of the cannabis plant, the differences between hemp and marijuana, and what that means for farmers around the Shenandoah Valley. They will share about some of the research they are doing in partnership with the greater community and why that work is important to the future of the hemp industry.
