Title: Cannabis Chemistry Overview and Career Opportunities for a Growing Industry
Abstract: A growing number of states and countries are legalizing cannabis for medicinal and adult recreational use. There are a number of areas of chemistry that are relevant to the cannabis and hemp industries; agricultural and plant genetics, analytical techniques, botanical extractions and large-scale engineering, pharmaceutical and medicinal formulations, among others. This presentation will give a brief overview of some of these chemistry aspects as well as the history and changing legal and policy landscape. Additionally, the cannabis industry has a number of opportunities for career paths at various levels of entry which will be highlighted as well as an introduction to the CANN subdivision of ACS.
