The incredible Dr. Riley Kirk from Bioactive Podcast and so much more is here on the program for the very first time! Dr. Kirk tells us all about her extensive background in studying plant medicines, and what led her down the path of educating patients and diving into cannabis research. Riley shares some of the findings she's discovered through her extensive personal study and research, and enlightens home growers on how to more accurately think about things like flavor and aroma. Riley talks about the complexity of the human palette, and how so many different compounds play into the taste and aroma experience- not just terpenes. This leads to a larger conversation about the broad category known as flavorants, and how some of the lesser known compounds can create some of the most unique and noticeable flavors.
