Despite this long-sta nding interest and the accompanying extensive use and consumption plus a s ubstantial scholarly study\, the broad and detailed chemistry of the plant and its chemical components are incompletely understood even by many of i ts modern practitioners. In some ways the plant\\'s biology is better unde rstood yet it has been observed \"Once your harvest is completed all your problems are chemical.\"\n\nThe Chemistry of Hemp &\; Cannabis is a rec ently released studio environment (combined lecture and laboratory) as an interdisciplinary\, upper-division chemistry course developed to provide i ts students with a firm grounding in the natural products\, analytical\, p hysical\, organic and bio-chemistry aspects surrounding cannabis (broadly defined) and its derived products. Students successfully completing this c ourse (and some lingering in its related graduate master-level program) wi ll carry with them stringent training in scientific investigative\, report ing and communication techniques.\n\nThe techniques utilized in cannabis a nalysis\, extraction\, separation and product development included in this course will be presented\, as will novel methods advanced in the course o f its execution. Opportunities for visiting the associated chemistry labor atories will be arranged. 4:00 pm END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
