Cannabis is now legal in more than half of U.S. states, but it remains federally illegal – which makes doing research on the plant extremely difficult. Today, we meet a clever group of scientists who found their way around these laws… by literally driving around them.    Learn more about the CannaVan, and check out some of Rasha and Emma's original reporting.

Cannabis is legal in some form or another in over half of US states. But federally, it's illegal and has no accepted medical use. However, the Biden administration is moving to reclassify cannabis as a less dangerous drug under the Controlled Substances Act.Studying strictly controlled drugs like cannabis is a major challenge for scientists, because they have to meet specific registration and sourcing requirements. And researchers can't give commercially available cannabis from dispensaries to study participants, or bring it onto campus at all. But questions around the health impacts of these widely available products continue to mount.A team of scientists at the University of Colorado Boulder is driving around these federal roadblocks by bringing a mobile lab—nicknamed the CannaVan—to people, so they can consume weed in their own homes and then come outside for some routine tests.SciFri producers Emma Gometz and Rasha Aridi visited the CannaVan last year and join Ira to unpack how this research gets done, what the CannaVan has taught us about weed, and how reclassifying cannabis might affect research.Transcripts for each segment will be available after the show airs on sciencefriday.com.

The third episode in our series recorded in the CannaVan at The Women of Cannabis Conference. Nurse Heather and Cannabis Kenny are industry OG's! Nurse Heather has been the longest-serving medical director for a medical cannabis facility and she was the first certified cannabis nurse. She's one of the leading experts in the therapeutic aspects cannabis use. Canna-Kenny has been in the industry for over 15 years helping pass pro-cannabis laws. Together they have both done some incredible things in the industry and continue to bring about positive change every day.

Five years after recreational marijuana was legalized in Colorado, the Brainwaves podcast looks at the business side, with an interview with a dispensary owner who tells us about all the rules and regulations his business must follow. Then we look at the science: going along for a ride in the University of Colorado Boulder’s mobile pharmacology laboratory, aka the “Cannavan.” And we talk with a cannabis researcher about the work he does to find out the effects of cannabis on the human body.

This week Jordan takes a detour from the cannabis industry to take a look at the science of it all.  Dr. Angela Bryan conducts research on marijuana at the University of Colorado Boulder. She studies marijuana’s connection to teen risk behavior, it's effects on cognition and even why it might make you hit the gym more often.  And while cannabis is legal in Colorado, there are still all kinds of restrictions that have meant Dr. Bryan and her team have had to get creative. Their biggest innovation? A mobile laboratory known as the Cannavan -- though if Dr. Bryan had her way, it totally would have been called the Magic Mystery Machine.

Ride the CannaVan, where scientists detour around the feds to test extra-potent pot. Then, as the Trump administration considers shrinking Utah’s new Bears Ears National Monument, a look at how the law works and what’s really at stake. Plus, the syndicated column its author calls “notorious” is done. “¡Ask A Mexican!” ran in Denver’s Westword for several years.

We talk to Tom Cannavan of The Wine Gang about minerality in wine and the debate over the word as a common descriptor.
